HMS Campbeltown silhouetted at sea enroute to Gibraltar in 2007
A backlit HMS Campbeltown sails south towards Gibraltar for the first stop on her 7 month deployment to the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Gulf.
The ship is the third of the Type 22 Batch 3 frigates and the second Royal Navy warship to bear the name. Campbeltown was built by Cammell Laird Shipbuilders Ltd in Birkenhead, and was launched on 7 October 1987; entering service on 27 May 1989.
The name of HMS Campbeltown has a distinguished record of Royal Navy service. These are Battle of the Atlantic 1941-1942 and St. Nazaire 1942, which is often referred to as " the greatest raid of all" as it had the largest number of Victoria Cross medals awarded for a single operation.
The ships motto is " Victoria Fortes Sequitur" which translates as " Victory Through Strength". The crest is of a Bog Myrtle bush, a plant only found in the area surrounding the town of Campbeltown in Argyll, Scotland, the ships affiliated town and one with which close ties are maintained.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic HMS Campbeltown sailing towards Gibraltar in 2007. The backlit silhouette of the ship against the vast sea creates a mesmerizing visual, symbolizing its journey to embark on a significant deployment to the Indian Ocean and Arabian Gulf. HMS Campbeltown holds great historical significance as it is the third Type 22 Batch 3 frigate and second Royal Navy warship with this name. Constructed by Cammell Laird Shipbuilders Ltd in Birkenhead, it was launched on October 7,1987, and entered service on May 27,1989. The name "HMS Campbeltown" carries an illustrious legacy within the Royal Navy. It played pivotal roles in two major events: Battle of the Atlantic from 1941-1942 and St. Nazaire in 1942 - often hailed as "the greatest raid of all". Notably, this operation witnessed numerous Victoria Cross medals awarded for exceptional bravery. The ship's motto "Victoria Fortes Sequitur" meaning "Victory Through Strength" epitomizes its purpose and spirit.
