HMS Sutherland is a Type 23 frigate of the British Royal Navy. She is the thirteenth ship in the Duke class of frigates and is the third ship to bear the name, more than 200 years since the name was last used.

She was launched in 1996 by Lady Christina Walmsley, wife of Sir Robert Walmsley KCB. Before this occasion, Royal Navy ships had always been launched with a bottle of champagne, but Lady Walmsley broke with tradition and used a bottle of Macallan Scotch whisky. Sutherland was the first vessel assigned to escort HMS Queen Elizabeth when she embarked on sea trials in June 2017. Early in 2019 she served as a testbed for an integrated mount for the Martlet LMM and 30mm cannon, successfully engaging in firing operations against a motorboat sized target at the Aberporth range in Wales. In April 2021, Sutherland entered long-term refit to incorporate Sea Ceptor SAMs as well as other system updates.

I hope you guys enjoy this build!
