Duke Class Equipment Frigate Royal Navy Ships Type 23 Yemen
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
The powerful image captures the Type 23 frigate HMS Portland in full action mode as it speeds through the treacherous Bab-el-Mandeb Straits. The narrow south end of the Red Sea, situated between Yemen and Djibouti, Africa, is known for its volatility and potential dangers. In this moment frozen in time, the ship is at "action stations" with every crew member prepared for any imminent threat. The HMS Portland stands tall and proud against a backdrop of deep blue waters. Its sleek design showcases the might of this Duke-class frigate, equipped with state-of-the-art technology and weaponry that ensures its readiness to face any challenge on the high seas. As waves crash against its hull, one can almost feel the adrenaline coursing through each sailor's veins. Their unwavering dedication to duty is evident in their focused expressions as they man their battle stations. This photograph by LA (Phot) Alex Cave serves as a testament to the bravery and professionalism exhibited by all those who serve in Her Majesty's Royal Navy. It encapsulates both the beauty and danger inherent in naval operations while highlighting the importance of maintaining peace and stability in these critical maritime regions. In this single frame, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by our armed forces personnel who safeguard our freedom at sea.
