Pictured: Type 26 Frigate HMS Cardiff being moved to Loch Long. HMS Cardiff, the second of the Royal Navys new City Class Type 26 frigates, was loaded onto a giant barge last week. The ship, which weighs almost 7,000 tonnes, sailed down the River Clyde on Friday, August 30 to Loch Long, where she will be lowered into the water for the first time at Glen Mallan. Once HMS Cardiff is in the water, she will make her way back up the Clyde to BAE Systems yard at Scotstoun where the work to fit the warship out will be completed. Currently Scottish shipyards have orders to build 13 Royal Navy frigates, with the Type 31 vessels being built by Babcock at Rosyth on the east coast, and the Type 26 ships being constructed by BAE Systems on the Clyde.
