The Maritime Prints business is for sale. At 78 yrs of age and after 26 years I’ve reluctantly concluded that I need to draw stumps. But a huge amount of love and effort has gone into the project so it needs to go to someone who can lavish a similar amount of care on it - it’s been a hugely rewarding business. Is there anyone out there who would like to take it on? Please contact Rick Cosby on 01460 63776 or [email protected].

HMS CHATHAM, HMS CAMPBELTOWN, HMS CORNWALL and HMS CUMBERLAND have proved to be a highly successful development of the Batch 1 Type 22 frigates which first entered service in the early 1980s. These four ships just look right! Rakish clipper bows with dashing flair, pleasing amount of worthwhile armament visible forrard, a neat bridge and trim funnel and then a good long fetch down to the flight deck and stern with some worthwhile aviation assets parked there. The right amount of sheer, and masts that don’t dominate and ruin the silhouette – altogether very attractive ships and they have proved thoroughly useful over 20 years, their enhanced communications fit and accommodation making them ideal as command ships both within RN and NATO formations. They have now all been taken out of service (2011).
