The Type 23 Frigate, originally designed for anti-submarine operations, will open its doors from 10am until 3pm on Saturday, January 27.

The ship is at Northumbrian Quay, which is accessed via Royal Quays, in North Shields.

Built in North Tyneside, the ship is named for the Duke of Northumberland and is affiliated with the county.

The vessel spent much of 2023 deployed alongside UK allies and fellow Royal Navy warships in the North Atlantic and Arctic Circle.
