They are, I love all things like that. When I could walk I used to go to Liverpool Docks when the warships came into there, loved going round them.
I am no expert, but aren't these ships Type 22s? As I say, absolutely no expert, just remembering back to that TV series 'Brilliant'.

No, Monmouth is a type 23, and Cumberland is a type 22, both frigates
Sorry, should have been more specific - I accept that the first is a Type 23, I the 'these' that I was referring to were the 'J class destroyer'.No, Monmouth is a type 23, and Cumberland is a type 22, both frigates

You are right, guessing that the MoD always go for lowest bidder, that thing is bound to have Nikon stamped all over it!That thing on the front is NO WAY a compact canon

Sorry, Switched off last night. There is no such thing as a J class destroyer. Cumberland is a batch 3 type 22, mainly designed for anti submarine surveillance work, but also very good at taking out anything in the air. Very good shots with a compact camera - to get back to the subject
