HMS Brocklesby - M33 - Hunt Class MCMV is alongside at the Odyssey, her decommissioning tour, I believe.
Is it not HMS Shoreham that's had the chop recently? I think they were to transfer a couple of them to Ukraine? I know HMS Brocklesby was on a 3 year deployment to the middle east and had returned to the UK around November.

HMS Pembroke - M107 - Sandown Class MCMV - RN  Will be alongside in Belfast for jubilee weekend and open for public visits.

If you're interested in getting aboard, you'll need to book www.eventbrite.com/e/visit-hms-pembroke-in-belfast-tickets-353825560777   but there's no charge.

I see HMS Pembroke left today. She was heading up the lough the lough about 1515. I did get a chance to get on board yesterday with my daughter. It was interesting. Thanks for the heads up on it sneaky if I hadn't off known I would have missed out . It gives me my taste of militaria as I'm now missing the armed forces day next weekend as I'll be at the Ballymema show now. I wonder if we can get the reds to transit via Ballymena  ;)

I think somebody has been playing with a photoshop tool, that pic does not look remotely convincing IMHO.

My thinking too.any has anyone saw or heard more on HMS Westminster?? I'm assuming she's going to Dock in Pollock Dock? Last ping was just isle of Wight 3 days ago. For I wonder if she will have a helo on board?

Not exactly a warship but RFA Tidesurge (a138) is along side at the cruise terminal at present. I'm assuming it's possibly for H&W  get a look around for the new ships to be built

Noticed her this morning when passing. Her hanger was open but my glimpse was that quick I didn't a good look to see if the helo was aboard. If you Stand at the fence faceing Whitla fire station you can see her hanger clearly.

H&W posted about this. In for some repair work.  And it was used in the World War Z movie.
