HMS Cumberland returned to her home port on Saturday after an intense and successful patrol involving counter-piracy operations, evacuating refugees from Libya and enforcing an arms embargo against the country's ruler. The Type 22 frigate entered HM Naval Base Devonport, Plymouth, after six and half months at sea - one month later than planned due to events in Libya. She passed Plymouth Hoe, firing a gun salute before being welcomed by her crew's family and friends who gathered on the jetty to wave her in.
