Photo of the Week 7

A great photo of a Frigate docked in Portsmouth just before Christmas.

HMS Iron Duke, returned home to Portsmouth following a six-month deployment to the Caribbean during which she made a record-breaking drugs seizure. The Type 23 frigate discovered 5.5 tonnes of pure cocaine with an estimated UK value of £240m in a converted fishing vessel off South America. It was the largest ever cocaine seizure by the Royal Navy.

The ‘white-out’ in Portsmouth over Christmas and New Year may have had a helping hand from Charlie….No wonder the photographer could see two of the ship!
