STORYLINE:
The British warship HMS Richmond arrived at Indonesia’s Port of Tanjung Priok in Jakarta Wednesday in a move to strengthen the UK’s bilateral ties with Indonesian Navy.
This visit highlights growing cooperation between international naval forces in the Indo-Pacific.
British Ambassador of Indonesia Dominic Jermey told local reporters that the HMS Richmond is part of striking group lead by HMS Prince of Wales aircraft carrier, which is currently deployed across the region.
HMS Richmond is a Type 23 frigate, designed mainly for anti-submarine warfare. She was launched on April 6, 1993, and commissioned into the Royal Navy on June 22, 1995.
Type 23 frigates come in two main types — general purpose and anti-submarine warfare.
HMS Richmond falls into the second category, making her especially skilled at detecting and combating enemy submarines.
This ability is essential when working alongside aircraft carriers like HMS Prince of Wales, which require strong underwater protection during deployments.
