    “Unprecedented” absence of Royal Navy vessels on the world stage

    HMS St Albans is the only Type 23 on duty as the fleet ready escort, which protects British waters.

    Britain has no major warships deployed on operations beyond home waters in what has been described as an “unprecedented” absence of the vessels on the world stage. All six of the Royal Navy’s Type 45 destroyers are docked in Portsmouth, while 12 of 13 Type 23 frigates are either at Portsmouth or Devonport.
