The UK Royal Navy's (RN's) Type 23 Duke-class frigate HMS Argyll has started its post-life extension (LIFEX) overhaul at Babcock's Frigate Support Centre (FSC) in Devonport, the shipbuilder announced on 17 August.

Argyll , which was commissioned in 1991, is the longest-serving Type 23 frigate in the fleet. It was the first in the class to complete an extensive refit and capability upgrade within the LIFEX programme in 2017.

Babcock said that during its post-LIFEX upkeep Argyll will receive an equipment overhaul as well as some modifications to enable new capabilities, including communications upgrades and accommodation for mixed crewing. The ship will also be repainted on the outer bottom and ship side.

Meanwhile, Babcock continues to deliver the Type 23 LIFEX programme across the rest of the fleet.
