Portsmouth-based Type 23 frigate HMS KENT at Sea, south of the Isle of Wight. HMS Kent is one of the newest of the Type 23 frigates within the Royal Navy arsenal. Built by BAE Systems on the Clyde, she was launched on 27 May 1998 by Princess Alexandra of Kent. Incorporating stealth technology to reduce her acoustic, magnetic and radar profile, she presents a formidable force when deploying both her highly capable sonar systems and embarked helicopter to detect opposing forces. *Organization: Royal Navy *Object Name: AB10_273_246 *Keywords: Royal Navy, Equipment, Ship, Frigate, FFG, Type 23, Duke Class, HMS Kent, Weather, Climate, Rain, Raining, Rainy, Wet, Atmospheric *Country: UK
