Product Description
HMS Chatham is a Type 22 Batch 3 (Cornwall-class) frigate of the Royal Navy, and the last of the Type 22 frigates.
Commissioned in 1990, Chatham took part in Operation Sharp Guard (the naval blockade of the former Yugoslavia) in 1993, intervention in the Sierra Leone civil war in 2000, and the Iraq War in 2003. During the handover of Hong Kong in 1997, she was appointed as the defense ship for the Royal Yacht Britannia, carrying then Prince Charles.
In 2010, the vessel served as command vessel for NATO Maritime Group II, deploying off the coast of Somalia to protect aid-carrying ships from piracy.
The ship arrived in Plymouth in 2011, was decommissioned the same year and subsequently scrapped.
The kit includes 3D printed parts, etched parts, metal parts, and decals.
For modellers who wish to build and display full hulls, a Type 22 Frigate hull bottom and a display case with Royal Navy placard will be released at the same time.
