The
latest HMS Glasgow was launched by Lady Kirstie Treacher, wife of Admiral Sir
John Treacher, on 14th
April 1976 at Swan
Hunter Shipbuilders at Wallsend and commissioned in October 1979 to become the
6th and last Batch 1 Type 42 Destroyer in the Fleet.
The name HMS Glasgow stretches back to 1707 and 8 ships have held it to date.
From the earliest days their task has been the defence of our islands and the
seaways of our merchant fleets. So why not visit our history page and
discover the proud tradition that is continued in today's HMS Glasgow
