Summary
[edit]DescriptionHMS Edinburgh Passes Through the Panama Canal at Night MOD 45153384.jpg |
English: Royal Navy Type 42 destroyer HMS Edinburgh passes through the third of the Miraflores Locks at night, during her transit through the Panama Canal in Central America.
HMS Edinburgh had just completed a two day visit to Balboa, Republic of Panama and returned to sea to continue her Atlantic Patrol. The primary purpose of this visit was to embark fuel and provisions in preparation for Operations in the Caribbean. The Commanding Officer, Commander Paul Russell Royal Navy, took the opportunity to host Her Majesty’s Ambassador and other distinguished and key personnel for a lunch party followed by a personal tour of HMS Edinburgh. Even on such a short visit, receptions like this enable HMS Edinburgh and the Royal Navy to re-affirm lasting relationships with many important decision makers. HMS Edinburgh is a Type 42 area air-defence destroyer and a key facet of the Royal Navy. She was launched in 1983 and commissioned in 1985. She uses her principal weapon system, the Seadart surface to air missile, to provide an umbrella of protection to a task group of ships, or to friendly troops ashore, out to a distance of over 40 miles. In addition she has a 4.5 inch main gun and a variety of close-range guns and cannons that can be used against air and surface targets. HMS Edinburgh operates the Lynx Mk8 helicopter, which can be armed for anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare and maritime counter-terrorism and security operations. Although built, equipped and trained for high-intensity modern warfare, HMS Edinburgh is also trained to undertake tasking such as humanitarian and disaster relief operations and conducts regular maritime security operations where ever she is in the world.
