HMS Montrose
The frigate is the mainstay of the surface fleet in the modern Royal Navy. Originally, the frigate was a fast, manoeuvrable, craft, required to scout ahead of the main fleet. It was, invariably, lightly armed. Today, a modern frigate, and in particular the new Type 23 Duke Class frigates, like HMS Montrose is capable of this type of role and much more. The Type 23 is, in comparison with similar sized ships serving other navies, heavily armed.
