Veteran ex-British warship scrapped
« on: May 05, 2014, 07:11:25 AM »
Hi all,

During my weekly browse of the demolition I noticed that GMS has reported the BNS ALI HAIDER (ex-HMS JAGUAR) arrived at Chittagong for breaking on 29/4/'14. She was a veteran Type 41 Leopard class frigate, first commissioned in 1959. The Bangladeshis kept her in top condition right until the end. Shame she has to go:

Update: GMS is now reporting that the ALI HAIDER was actually beached on April 27 at Chittagong.

There are severe doubts over HMS Plymouth's future too.
