HMS Torquay (F43)
HMS ''Torquay'' was a Type 12 ''Whitby''-class frigate of the Royal Navy. They were the first frigates to have the "V" form hull. This evolutionary design made it possible to be driven in head sea without the usual slamming which occurs with conventional destroyers of the time. Each frigate cost 3.5 million pounds and the first ship completed was ''Torquay'' in May 1956.
==Operational Service==
''Torquay'' was launched by Lady Monkton on 1 July 1954, and participated in the Suez operation in 1956. In 1958 she was diverted to Tobruk following the assassination of the Iraqi Royal Family.
Between 1967–1971 ''Torquay'' was one of the frigates allocated to the Dartmouth Training Squadron and between 1972–1985 ''Torquay'' served as a navigation training ship based in Portsmouth. In 1971 the ship was refitted with a solid main mast (as opposed to a lattice mast) and a large training navigation room was built where the forward set of triple-barrelled mortars used to be located (leaving one set of mortars). She was also fitted to undertake trials of ''CAAIS'' (Computer Assisted Action Information System). ''Torquay'' attended the 1977 Silver Jubilee Fleet Review off Spithead when she was part of the 2nd Frigate Squadron.〔Official Souvenir Programme, 1977. ''Silver Jubilee Fleet Review'', HMSO〕
Replaced by the as the navigation training vessel for the Royal Navy, ''Torquay'' paid off on 23 March 1985. At the time she was the longest serving ship of her class and the oldest frigate in the fleet. She was sold for scrap in 1987 and left Portsmouth on 1 July 1987 to be broken up in Barcelona, Spain.
