HMS Berwick (F115)

HMS Berwick (F115)

HMS "Berwick" (F115) was a "Rothesay" or Type 12I class anti-submarine frigate of the British Royal Navy. She was built by Harland & Wolff and launched on 1 June 1961.

The ship was a member of the Matchmaker(2) fleet in 1965. During the Beira Patrol, she stopped and arrested the "SS Manuella" for attempting to run the oil blockade of Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) at Easter 1966. HMS "Berwick" was re-fitted with helicopter landing facilities in 1967.

In 1977, she attended the Silver Jubilee Fleet Review with sisterships HMS "Plymouth" and HMS "Rothesay".

HMS "Berwick" was sunk as a target ship in August 1986 by a Tigerfish torpedo fired from the submarine HMS "Tireless".
