HMS ''Marlborough'' was a 'Duke'-class Type 23 frigate of the Royal Navy, and the sixth ship to bear the name. She was named after John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough. ==Royal Navy service== ''Marlborough'' was the third 'Duke' class Type 23 frigate to be commissioned, the first being ''Norfolk'', F230 and the second ''Argyll'', F231. She carried pennant number F233 rather than the sequential number of F232 which was considered unlucky, Form S.232 being the formal notification of a grounding or collision. The course 232 is also traditionally not given for the same reason, with a course heading of half degree either side of 232 being the alternative. ''Marlborough'' was the first naval ship on the scene to assist the stricken USS ''Cole'' after she was attacked in Aden, Yemen in October 2000. ''Marlborough'', under the command of Captain Anthony Rix, was on passage to the UK after a six-month deployment in the Gulf and had a full medical detachment on board; when her offer of assistance was accepted she immediately diverted to Aden. ''Marlborough'' played a key role in the second Gulf War, under the command of Captain Mark Anderson. In July 2004, it was announced that ''Marlborough'' would be one of three Type 23 ships to be decommissioned by the end of 2006. In October 2004 ''Marlborough'' again came to the aid of a stricken ally when she was dispatched to assist , adrift off the northwest Irish coast and arrived at the scene where and ''Marlborough''s sister-ship were present. ''Montrose'' had been the first ship to make contact with the boat. Other ships were also dispatched, including .
