HMS Westminster heads for retirement and disposal as she’s towed to Portsmouth

Known as the 'capital ship' throughout the Royal Navy, she visited the Falklands on more than one occasion when on South Atlantic patrol (Pic MoD)
The former Royal Navy frigate HMS Westminster has been towed out of Devonport on her way to Portsmouth, where she will be prepared for disposal.  She joins HMS Argyll, HMS Montrose, and HMS Northumberland, as the Navy continues to retire its older Type 23 frigates, reports Forces News.
