Royal Navy Type 23 frigate HMS Lancaster in the Caribbean Sea. HMS Lancaster, the Queen’s Frigate is ready for a challenging deployment where she is scheduled to undertake a range of tasks across the Atlantic in support of British interests. Her tasking will focus on the reassurance and security of the British Overseas territories, the provision of humanitarian aid and disaster relief during the core hurricane season and counter narcotic operations with partner nations. During the six-month deployment Lancaster will visit all of the British Overseas Territories in the region, of which there are 6, as well as numerous Commonwealth and Caribbean nations. These visits will provide the opportunity to train with other navies as well as demonstrate the Royal Navy’s continued commitment to the region. In between visits, Lancaster will be conducting counter narcotics patrols in conjunction with the US Coast Guard but will remain at high readiness throughout the deployment to provide support and life saving assistance in the wake of a hurricane or other natural disaster. ------------------------------------------------------- © Crown Copyright 2013 Photographer: L(Phot) Jay Allen Image 45155774.jpg from www.defenceimages.mod.uk This image is available for high resolution download at www.defenceimagery.mod.uk subject to the terms and conditions of the Open Government License at www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/.
