In atrocious weather conditions this afternoon 66775 H.M.S Argyll arrived at Saltash following her naming ceremony at the Royal Naval Dockyard at Devonport prior to departure for Plymouth and Eastleigh.
The engine well presented arrived at Saltash with its name still covered over looking from the up platform, however it carried the Ships Crest and its pennant number F231. Press photos however show the name uncovered no doubt on the other side.
