Scotland's largest ship, named after the city, sailed down the Clyde.

HMS Glasgow floated down the river today, escorted by Ministry of Defence Police from Clyde Marine Unit, where she will eventually be lowered into the water for the first time. 

Once it touches the water for the first time, she will be towed back up the Clyde to BAE Systems’ yard at Scotstoun where the work to fit the warship out will be completed.

HMS Glasgow is the first of the Royal Navy’s new City Class Type 26 frigates.
