8 Royal Navy Type 21 (Amazon class) Frigates were built from 1971-1975
(in cronological order)
HMS AMAZON F169, ANTELOPE F170, ACTIVE F171, AMBUSCADE F172, ARROW F173, ALACRITY F174, ARDENT F184 AND AVENGER F185.
(HMS Antelope & HMS Ardent were sunk during the Falklands conflict 1982. Remainder were sold to the Pakistan Navy in 1993/4)
They were sleek fast ships which served with distinction. They were very popular with the crew and many served on more than one of the class.
..... Referred to as the 21 CLUB
"We are very short of volunteers to represent all of the Type 21s, except Ambuscade, on the T21 Committee!
The first "get together" has been proposed for 8-9 October in Plymouth and we will need to have a provisional committee there to be formally voted in or changed as the meeting decides. So, digitum extractum and get your name down! There should be at least one to represent each of the eight ships, but, as we all know, it won't work if it becomes a wardroom driven committe!!"
Mike Townson, Ambuscade
