Somerset completes refit

摘要

The UK Royal Navy Type 23 frigate HMS Somerset left Devonport Royal Dockyard recently for sea trials with significantly increased sustainability and fighting capability, following a successful nine-month docking period undertaken by Babcock; the first major maintenance period conducted under the full implementation of the Surface Ship Support (SSS) Alliance Class Output Management (COM) arrangements. The project has been successfully undertaken by a joint SSS Alliance team (Ministry of Defence, Babcock, and BAE Systems) under the co-ordination of the Type 23 COM.
