SF-2NA HMS Bristol

---

This is a Type 82 destroyer, the only vessel of her class to be built

for the Royal Navy.

Originally intended as the first of a class of new large destroyers

to escort the CVA-01 aircraft carriers projected to come into

service in the early 1970s, Bristol turned out to be a unique ship.

The rest of the class were cancelled when the CVA-01 carriers fell

victim to the 1966 Strategic Defence Review.

 

She joined the Royal Navy task force in the South Atlantic in the

1982 Falklands War.

 

In 1987 she replaced the County class destroyer HMS Kent as the

Britannia Royal Naval College training ship.

 

This is a remake of original Hinchinbrooke's model for SF-1.

 

I applied a new number and edited inis.

 

Deadly Sea Dart working.

 

Enjoy.
