HMS Campbeltown (F86)

HMS Campbeltown (F86)

HMS "Campbeltown" (F86) is a Type 22 frigate of the Royal Navy. Built by Cammell Laird Shipbuilders Ltd. in Birkenhead, she was part of the third batch of Type 22s, which were considerably larger than their predecessors and incorporated more advanced weaponry after lessons learnt from the Falklands War.

Her most recent deployment was for seven months from 2007-2008 in the Persian Gulf, where she operated in support of Operation Calash and Operation Telic.

The ship's bell of the first HMS "Campbeltown", a Second World War Town class destroyer famous for her role in the St. Nazaire Raid, has been loaned from Campbelltown, Pennsylvania to the current HMS "Campbeltown" for the duration of her Royal Navy service.
