HMS Eskimo (F119)

HMS "Eskimo" (F119) was a Tribal-class frigate of the Royal Navy, built by J. Samuel White of Cowes. She was launched on 20 March 1960 and commissioned on 21 February 1963.

In 1967, "Eskimo" deployed to the Mediterranean, where she visited a variety of ports, as-well as performing exercises, and subsequently deployed to the Persian Gulf during the tense times there. In 1977, "Eskimo" deployed to the West Indies, performing a variety of duties that the Royal Navy still performs to the present-day (2004); in the form of Atlantic Patrol Task (North). "Eskimo" also deployed to the South Atlantic.

In 1979, "Eskimo" was placed in Reserve, into the Standby Squadron. In 1980, "Eskimo" was decommissioned, and the following year, she was placed on the disposal list. In 1984 she was cannibalised for spare parts for the three Tribals that were sold to Indonesia and subsequently became a target vessel finally being sunk in 1986.
