Cape Point Route is serving the British Royal Navy!

In May 2013, the HMS Argyle , a British Royal Navy frigate arrived in Simon’s Town harbour and Cape Point Route was honoured to be asked to assist with their AT (Adventure Training) requirements whilst the ship was in the harbour.

Since then,  Cape Point Route has assisted the HMS Richmond (Nov 2013); the HMS Portland (April 2014);  the HMS Iron Duke  & the HMS Protector (Sept 2014) and the HMS Dragon (Feb 2015) with AT and Leisure activities.

This August the HMS Lancaster will be arriving in Simon’s Town to refresh, refuel and repair after months in the Atlantic Ocean.   This beautiful ship is a Duke Class Type 23 frigate of the Royal Navy and she was launched on 24 May 1990 and is known as the Queen’s Frigate.

Some interesting facts about the HMS Lancaster:

• She is one of the few stag ships in the Royal Navy fleet, and although she has some female officers, the mess decks are men only!
• This versatile multi-role ship can typically be deployed drug-busting in the Caribbean
• She is currently on Atlantic Patrol Tasking – providing ongoing protection & reassurance to British interests in the Atlantic.
