Description

British Navy warships at Portsmouth Naval Base, Portsmouth, England. Bottom left (D89) Type 42 air defence destroyer HMS Exeter. The ships in the basin (Number 3 Basin) are the aircraft carrier HMS Invincible, laid up at Extended Readiness until 2010 - unlikely to ever go to sea again. To the right are the Royal Fleet Auxiliary tanker HMS Grey Rover (awaiting
disposal); the Logistic Landing ships HMS Sir Galahad ( the Falklands replacement built in 1987) awaiting disposal; and the Logistic Landing Ship HMS Sir Beldivere, which should still be in service. The stern at the bottom right of the pic is the Logistics Landing ship HMS Sir Tristram ( heavily damaged in the Falklands with the original Sir Galahad) again awaiting disposal. The LSLs have been replaced in service by the new Bay class. Copyright © 2007 Glenn Harvey all rights reserved. Contact us for reproduction fees and permissions.
