HMS Kent in the Indian Ocean
Royal Navy Type 23 frigate HMS Kent is pictured during counter piracy operations in the Indian Ocean.
HMS Kent is one of the newest of the Type 23 frigates within the Royal Navy arsenal. Built by BAE Systems Scotstoun Shipyard on the Clyde, she was launched on 27 May 1998 by Princess Alexandra of Kent.
After a most successful visit to Libya, HMS Kent headed north east to Souda Bay, Crete for equipment trials and further training prior to her transit through the Suez Canal.
The Ships Company were able to enjoy some shore leave in Crete with fuel and provisions also taken in preparation for several weeks at sea on counter piracy patrol.
On 15 Apr 13 HMS Kent headed south through the Suez Canal, shortly after that she conducted a handover from HMS Northumberland and officially assumed Op Kipion duties

EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the majestic HMS Kent, a Type 23 frigate of the Royal Navy, as it sails through the vast expanse of the Indian Ocean during its counter piracy operations. This state-of-the-art vessel is one of the newest additions to the Royal Navy's arsenal and represents their commitment to safeguarding international waters. Built with precision at BAE Systems Scotstoun Shipyard on the Clyde, HMS Kent was launched in a grand ceremony on 27 May 1998 by Princess Alexandra of Kent. Following a successful visit to Libya, this formidable warship embarked on further training and equipment trials in Souda Bay, Crete before transiting through the historic Suez Canal. During their time in Crete, members of HMS Kent's dedicated crew were granted some well-deserved shore leave while also stocking up on fuel and provisions for their upcoming weeks at sea. On 15 April 2013, after passing through the iconic Suez Canal, HMS Kent seamlessly assumed operational duties from HMS Northumberland as part of Operation Kipion. This silhouette showcases not only the strength and power embodied by this Duke-class frigate but also serves as a reminder of the unwavering dedication displayed by all those who serve aboard her. The image encapsulates both tradition and modernity within naval warfare while highlighting Britain's ongoing efforts to combat piracy threats in vital maritime regions such as these.
