"Rothesay" Class Type 12M Anti Submarine Frigate "HMS Londonderry", 2,150 tons, launched 1958, completed 1961. She was converted to a weapons trials ship in 1980 when the 4.5" gun turret was removed, a helicopter pad fitted, and no less than three radar/electronic masts erected in place of the one as built. Pictured at the Portsmouth Navy Day, 08/82, "Londonderry" had been brought out of reserve to be refitted for inclusion in the Falklands Relief Fleet to replace the Task Force. She has lost one of the masts fitted when converted to a trails ship. Scanned slide.
