Belonging to the esteemed Duke Class Type 23 Frigates, which are stationed in Portsmouth and Devonport, HMS St Albans was originally designed to counteract the Soviet submarine threat during the Cold War era.

The significance of this photograph lies not only in its portrayal of a magnificent ship but also in its representation of British maritime excellence.
