The Type 23 frigate is a type of frigate serving in the Royal Navy. All ships of this class are named after a British Duke, so this class is also called the Duke class. Among the current ships of the Royal Navy, the largest number of surface warships is the 16 Type 23 frigates; the last, "St Albans," was officially commissioned in November 2001. The Type 23 frigate is equipped with strong weapons, with anti-submarine, air defence, anti-ship, and anti-shore three-dimensional offensive and defensive capabilities, and is particularly noted for its anti-submarine capabilities. The Duke-class frigate is the world's first frigate equipped with a vertical missile launcher. HMS Kent was built on 8 June 2000, and is the first ship in the Royal Navy to enter the 21st century.
