HMS Cardiff, the second Type 26 frigate, was floated off at BAE Systems shipyard in Glasgow for further outfitting.

HMS Cardiff, the second of eight Type 26 frigates for the Royal Navy, was moved to a barge for a float-off process at the BAE Systems shipyard in Glasgow. This modern, efficient, and low-risk method will submerge the anti-submarine warfare frigate before it returns to the yard for further outfitting, system installation, and testing. The £1.2bn warship, expected to enter service between 2028 and mid-2030s, will play a role in protecting the UK's aircraft carriers and Trident submarines.
