HMS Cornwall F99
Past Warships! Royal Navy Type 22 'Broadsword' Class Frigate HMS Cornwall F99 is seen at Devonport Naval Base on 26th June 2011. She had returned to her home port of Devonport on 26th April, and just four days after this was filmed, she was decommissioned, and later towed to Swansea for scrapping in October 2013, after being stored at Portsmouth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MZR0inFtec
HMS Cumberland F85
Having entered her home base of Devonport on 18th April 2011, Royal Navy Type 22 'Broadsword' Class Frigate HMS Cumberland F85 is seen at Devonport on 26th June 2011, having been decommissioned just 3 days earlier. Hard to believe that this mighty frigate had been involved in evacuating British civilians from Libya effected by the civil war just a few months earlier. Launched in 1986, HMS Cumberland was a victim of the 2010 Defence Review, and in July 2013 was sold to Leyal Recycling in Turkey for scrapping, a warship that certainly had years of life still ahead of her. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADHoalkcJMY
