Now in the Brazilian Navy since June 2018, now called PHM Atlantico.

Thanks Red. That's interesting, some sort of secret deal must've gone on there.
I took that picture July 2013.
I wonder what else they've flogged-off without our knowledge?
I've got a few more shots of that, they might be valuable one of these days.

Two later pictures of HMS Ocean. River Thames. May 2015.

Edit:- Wiki extract - The LPH role was provided by HMS Illustrious until 2014. On 22 July 2014, HMS Ocean took over the helicopter carrier role again, after her 15-month, £65 million refit, replacing HMS Illustrious, which then returned to her home port Portsmouth for the last time, being decommissioned on 28 August 2014.
The flagship of the Royal Navy, HMS Ocean, has now been sold to Brazil for £84m, the South American country's government has confirmed. So that's alright then!

great thread

Here's another one - formerly HMS Inverness now EML Sakala of the Estonian Navy. We're finished as a sea-faring nation

Doomed I tell ye Annie! Doomed!

HMS Illustrious (Lusty - to it's friends) River Thames Greenwich giving an impressive air display of it's helicopters.

Before I posted this picture I thought I'd check where it is now - We've sent it to a Turkish scrapyard!
We really are doomed I tell you, Doomed!

I hope you aren't counting on the Victory. I'm not sure she's seaworthy either. Lots of people spinning in their graves!

Bully and Lusty a few years back.

An interesting point Annie, do you Scots have a claim on UK warships as part of the divorce settlement when/if you break away You've already got Discovery and and ex royal yacht Britannia, what more could you want?

We might well need to count on the Victory soon. (Run up a bunting Capn - England Expects) It might present a smaller RADAR target, perhaps? Then, there's always the Warrior, a little tweak to the engines, a bucket or two of WD40 and a good lick of paint. We're not done yet, our options are endless.

She was a very very versatile ship, what a shame she's been sold off due to the infamous 'cut back'.

Don't say that Annie, though deep down I know you are right. How can an Island Nation cut its Navy to the bone? It does not make sense. I spent a few happy years in the RN.

This one is still one of ours HMS Sutherland passing the Rona Gap in the Inner Sound.
