Plymouth - 10 photo's.
At this moment the "HMS Plymouth Association" is urging everyone to sign up to an e-petition to the Prime minister asking for his help in securing the future of this ship as a tourist attraction and for posterity in the very yard she was built in. To add your name to this petition please "CLICK HERE" and follow the simple instruction.

It now seems certain that the combined efforts of our "Brussells controlled " leader, "Call Me Dave", and the inept Council we have managed to "saddle" ourselves with, down here in Plymouth,
will now ensure that this last remaining example of a "Cold War Type 12 Frigate" and, incidentally, the last surviving RN warship from the "Falklands War" , will soon be on its way to a "Turkish Ship-breakers yard".
It has been stated by our "Council" that there is no room for a berth for her down here !!, - and that with most of the largest Naval base in Western Europe standing mostly empty and idle.
Plymouth Council has long been "renowned" for showing a complete lack of interest in this city's long and colourful past, or its connection with anything to do with the military.
This is but yet another disgraceful example. Here is what may well be a last view of her on a lonely wharf in Birkenhead.
Many I know will mourn her passing, but Plymouth City Council will not be amongst them !!
