HMS CARDIFF F89

 HMS Cardiff has now departed BAE Systems’ Govan shipyard on the barge to be towed down river to a deep-water location in the West of Scotland. Once in position, and over a number of hours, the barge will submerge and the anti-submarine warfare frigate will enter the water. She will then return to BAE Systems’ Scotstoun shipyard where she will undergo the next stages of outfit before test and commissioning.
