The Fighting Clan Reaches Simon’s Town – the Type 23 Frigate ARGYLL (The Fighting Clan), on a seven month Atlantic Patrol (South) deployment has made Simon’s Town where the ship announced the vessels arrival with a 21 gun - Royal Navy warships are allowed to fire such a salute in recognition of a special Royal occasion – however it has also become a tradition as they arrive in the South African port.   The ARGYLL will carry out a two week mid deployment maintenance package whilst in port supported by T23 COM and Babcock from the UK.
