Summary

Description
English: Pictured (left) is HMS MONTROSE conducting a Replenishment at Sea (RAS) with USNS Big Horn.

HMS Montrose is one of the Royal Navy’s thirteen Type 23 Frigates. She is stationed at HMNB Devonport but supports missions all over the world.

Type 23 Frigates are essential all-rounders, fast, adaptable and ready to take on tasks from antipiracy patrols to providing humanitarian aid.

HMS Montrose – the 5th of the frigate fleet – has highly sensitive suite of radars which allows the ship to track aircraft and missiles up to 120 miles, and a missile system with a 20+ mile range.

She is equipped with sonar to detect submarines and a helicopter armed with torpedoes and depth charges, which means – if we have to – she can take the fight to submarines many miles away from the ship.

The Ship’s motto is “Mare ditat rosa decorat”: the sea enriched but the rose adorns.

The USNS Big Horn (T-AO-198), is a Henry J. Kaiser-class fleet replenishment oiler of the United States Navy that normally sails with the nited States Atlantic Fleet.
