HMS Southampton (as was) left Portsmouth this morning for the razor blade factories of Aliaga, turkey.
A quick check on Marine Traffic shows a tug, Pantodynam, passing the Nab anchorages at 12:00 BST, heading for Aliaga at a sedate 6 knots. Presumably Southampton will be on the end of that.
HMS Southampton clocked up 3/4 million miles during her 28 years service.
Here's a photo of her in happier times, visiting Southampton in 2006:
