Zitat:Construction Begins On The 4th Type 26 Frigatehttps://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/202...6-frigate/
On April 04, 2023, BAE Systems' Govan Shipyard in Scotland, cut the first steel of the fourth Type 26 anti-submarine warfare (ASW) frigate, the future HMS Birmingham, for the Royal Navy. [...]
She’ll be the fourth Birmingham to serve under the White Ensign, building on foundations laid by ships whose service spanned the 20th Century. The first two were cruisers which served through World War 1 and 2 respectively. No.1 fought at Heligoland, Dogger Bank and Jutland and served around the globe until the early 1930s. She was replaced by a Town-class cruiser which was deployed around the globe but only earned one battle honour in WW2 (Norway), adding to it with service in Korea and broken up in 1960 (her sister, HMS Belfast, survives as a museum in London).
