A Royal Navy warship affiliated to Hull will open to the public when it arrives in the city later this month.
HMS Iron Duke, a Type 23 frigate, is one of the Royal Navy’s most versatile warships playing a key role in protecting the nation’s interests, from policing vital trade routes to supporting humanitarian aid missions, according to the Royal Navy.
The ship will be in King George Dock, off Hedon Road, on Sunday, 28 September.
Free public access to the ship is due to take place between 10:00 and 16:00 BST.
Led by Cdr David Armstrong, the ship was originally designed to hunt Soviet submarines.
Since the end of the Cold War, the role of the Royal Navy’s frigates has evolved and they are now seen as the core of the nations frontline fleet.
According to the navy, as well as taking part in exercises and working alongside other NATO nations, HMS Iron Duke is also involved in regular patrols across northern Europe and the Baltic, where her crew engages with regional forces and provides security at sea.
The Duke Class frigates are in the process of being replaced by two new classes of frigate, Inspiration and City class.
