Summary[edit]

Description
English: HMS St Albans during an intercept and escort of Russian Missile Cruiser The Marshall Ustinov in the Channel.

Pictured is St Albans, looking down the Forecastle towards the 4.5 inch gun and the bridge. A Merlin helicopter can be seen in the sky to the right of the ship.

HMS St Albans, the sixteenth and last of the Royal Navy's Type 23 frigates to be built, was launched on 6 May 2000. Constructed by BAE Systems at Scotstoun, she was delivered to the Royal Navy in November 2001.

The 4.5 inch gun has been the standard Royal Navy ship mounted gun for use against surface and shore targets since the late 1930's. The latest Mark 8 version of the Naval Gun is semi-automatic, has a rate of fire of 25 rounds per minute and a range of 12 nautical miles.
