This Royal Navy Frigate was open for the public to see yesterday. I have never seen the Navy ships open for tours before. This was a chance for the public to get an up close look at what Navy life is like. It was very interesting going aboard the ship's chopper and learning what it's role was. It's main function is to support the ship and can use sonar to detect subs. The Chopper can operate up to 300 miles from the ship and is equipped for search and rescue. This ship has a crew of 182 and I enjoyed talking with several of them. Even though I am American, I support the armed forces of the UK 100 per cent as I do the US military. We are both fighting the same war. These men and women are the Best!
