HMS Edinburgh (D97)
HMS ''Edinburgh'' was a Type 42 (Batch 3) destroyer of the Royal Navy. ''Edinburgh'' was built by Cammell Laird of Birkenhead. She was launched on 14 April 1983 and commissioned on 17 December 1985. The largest of the Type 42 destroyers, ''Edinburgh'' was known as the "Fortress of the Sea". ''Edinburgh'' was the last of the Type 42 destroyer to serve in the Royal Navy and was decommissioned on 6 June 2013.
==Distinctive appearance==
''Edinburgh'' was readily distinguished by her distinctively different forecastle. When it was decided to fit the Phalanx CIWS to this class of warships, it was intended that ''Edinburgh'' should carry a single CIWS unit, mounted forward between her 4.5-inch gun and the Sea Dart launcher. To this end, her breakwaters were enlarged and she was fitted with a raised bulwark, very like those carried on the Type 22 frigates.
This location proved to be an unsuitably wet one for the Phalanx system despite the modifications to this warship, and ''Edinburgh'' was later fitted with a pair of wing-mounted CIWS as carried by the other ships of the class, but she retains her distinctive bulwark and enlarged breakwaters.
''Edinburgh'' also differed from some ships of her class in carrying her badges flush to the funnel sides rather than on the funnel wing platforms.
