HMS Plymouth images

Decided to dump all my Plymouth pics  in one post after finding some of them on various sites and groups over the past few days. Dont mind images bieng used but if you have time to post an image you have time to post credit/link to the OWNER of that image

Interest in the vessel has peaked right now as she is due to be towed to Turkey for scrapping.

If you want to use an image then please ask in comments or send me a quick email, if its not for commercial use i will almost always say yes

HMS Bronnington in Birkenhead docks 8TH Oct

The ex warships display vessel HMS Bronnington has been moved from Vittoria dock to the West float, Birkenhead. I have no idea as to why the move took place but as you can see she is in a very sorry state. I think its only a matter of time before she is scrapped, which would be a real shame. During her career she had none other the Prince Charles as her skipper.

HMS Plymouth and HMS Bronnington in Birkenhead docks

The 2 remaining vessels from the Historic warships display are now sitting in Victoria dock, Birkenhead. They are no longer open to the public. Both vessels are in a very sorry state with no ongoing maintenance going on since they have been placed in that dock. HMS Bronnington was one of the last wooden hulled mine counter measures vessels to be built and was once captained by HRH Prince Charles. HMS Plymouth is a veteran of the Falklands war, she was struck by several bombs (which did not explode) and the surrender of the Argentine forces was signed onboard her.

Very sorry to see these ships in such a state.
