HMS ''Bacchante'' (F69) was a ''Leander''-class frigate of the Royal Navy. ''Bacchante'' was built by Vickers on the Tyne, launched on 29 February 1968 and commissioned on 17 October 1969. ==Royal Navy Service== In 1970, ''Bacchante'' joined Standing Naval Force Atlantic (STANAVFORLANT), with which she visited a variety of ports and performed naval exercises. The following year, in 1971 ''Bacchante'' deployed to the West Indies. While there, she participated in a number of naval exercises, including an exercise with the carriers HMS ''Ark Royal'' and USS ''America''. She acted as West Indies Guardship in 1973. ''Bacchante'' was deployed to the Persian Gulf in 1981 conducting the second ever Armilla patrol taking over from the ''Minerva'' visiting the Somali capital of Mogadishu and the Oman capital of Muscat (often drifting in the Indian Ocean to conserve fuel). In 1982, ''Bacchante'' became the Gibraltar Guardship and joined the Birmingham group deploying to the South Atlantic to undertake duties during the Falklands War. Shortly after the war was ended the crew was sent ashore to aid the local populace in the disaster recovery operations, providing navigational landmarks for ships located in Stanley Sound and attempting to refloat the high commissioner's barge (but failing); also proving well deserved respite for royal marines and navy divers (hot food and accommodation). Whilst trying to erect a navigational radar reflector the team sent ashore, they wandered through a mine field (no injuries received). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「HMS Bacchante (F69)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
