Who once owned the Royal Navy HMS Carrick?
City of Adelaide (1864) City of Adelaide is a clipper ship, built in Sunderland, England, and launched on 7 May 1864. The ship was commissioned in the Royal Navy as HMS "Carrick between 1923 and 1948 and, after decommissioning, was known as Carrick" until 2001. At a conference convened by HRH The Duke of Edinburgh in 2001, the decision was made to revert the ship's name to "City of Adelaide", and the duke formally renamed her at a ceremony in 2013.
HMS Montrose (F236) The current HMS "Montrose" is the eighth of the sixteen ship Type 23 or Duke class of frigates, of the Royal Navy, named after the Duke of Montrose.
