HMS KENT departed London today, bound for Scotland where she will take part in commemorations for the Battle of Jutland centenary.
The Type-23 frigate exited West India Docks shortly after 10am this morning after arriving in the capital last Thursday.
It's 100 years since the greatest naval battle of World War I took place and HMS Kent now heads to Rosyth where she will take part in commemorative events organised by the Scottish Government at South Queensferry.
The Duke-class ship, captained by Commander Daniel Thomas, will then sail for Scapa Flow in the Orkney Islands where she will provide a gun salute.
London's next naval visitor is HMS Duncan, due to arrive at West India Docks at the end of this week.
