She was a Rothsay class frigate. She was deliberately sank by HMS Conqureor in 1986 as target practice using a Tigerfish torpedo.
The coincidence is that when cleaning the windows for a customer less than a mile from my own house, he mentioned that he was in the Navy and had been the one that had pressed the button to launch the torpedo.
Although I did not enjoy my time in the Navy, it still seems a sad end to all those memories tied up with this ship.
