Greater and Lesser Tunbs
In November 1967, "Intrepid" formed part of a naval task force deployed to cover the British Withdrawal from Aden. On 29 March 1968, "Intrepid" and the frigate were deployed to patrol off the Greater and Lesser Tunbs, small islands in the Persian Gulf, to deter Iran from occupying the islands. "Intrepid" became the first Royal Navy warship equipped with satellite communication equipment in 1969.
