HMS Cumberland has been axed as part of the Strategic Defence and Security Review. Capt Steve Dainton said: “It is very sad to see a ship leave active service earlier than we expected.” The Type 22 frigate arrived home for the final time in April after she helped evacuate refugees from Libya. Capt Dainton said: “HMS Cumberland has always been remembered as a friendly ship and this made her a ‘family ship’. “It was very fitting to have so many of our families here, and friends from her past and present to mark such a significant occasion Source : ShipTalk
HMS CUMBERLAND
HMS Cumberland arrived in the Port of Tyne on 4th March 2010. Cumberland is making a courtesy visit to the Tyne and berthed at Northumbrian Quay. She is to participate in the Admiral Lord Collingwood 2010 Festival on 7th March 2010 by firing a 19 gun salute in an exchange of firing from field guns from 101 Regiment Royal Artillery on shore. Should be quite a sight and not forgetting sound!
