As Rough As It May Seem,It's Still Steady As You Go...
The frigate HMS Somerset is to officially return to the Royal Navy fleet following a multi-million pound refit in Scotland.
The ship has spent around 16 months at Rosyth Dockyard, in Fife, where she was fitted with the very latest in weapons and sensors technology.
Tomorrow (Friday), the ship will be officially re-dedicated into the fleet during a ceremony in Plymouth Sound, which will give the ship's company the opportunity to present the Royal Navy's most modern frigate to an invited gathering of friends and affiliates from the county of Somerset.
Her Commanding Officer Commander Rob Wilson said: "At the rededication ceremony the ship will receive a formal blessing for the next chapter of her commission, one that will soon see her deploying with our NATO allies.
"This day will also give the ship's company the opportunity to look back on a busy summer which saw them achieve a great deal and of this they can be rightly proud."
