US EditionKate names HMS Glasgow by smashing bottle of whisky against its hull
- The Princess of Wales officially named the Royal Navy's first Type 26 frigate, HMS Glasgow, during a ceremony held today at BAE Systems’ shipyard located in Glasgow on the River Clyde.
- The ceremony followed nearly eight years of construction and reflects the need for advanced anti-submarine vessels to safeguard UK waters amid current global challenges.
- The event included a traditional whisky bottle smashing, speeches by the Second Sea Lord and BAE Systems’ Managing Director, and a flypast by an RAF P-8A Poseidon aircraft to highlight future operational collaboration.
- The nearly 7,000-tonne warship, described as a ‘pure-bred anti-submarine warfare platform’ that ‘screams UK power,’ will begin sea trials this year and is expected to reach full operational capability by late 2028.
- HMS Glasgow and her seven sister ships will strengthen the Royal Navy's ability to counter submarine threats, support aircraft carriers, and represent the next chapter in British naval innovation.
