The Royal Navy destroyer HMS York sets sail for Libya today. She will relieve her sister ship HMS Liverpool which has been on operations there since April. It is now HMS York's first mission in Libyan waters. She was there in March to deliver humanitarian aid in Benghazi and helped evacuate 43 people to Malta before beginning security patrols in the South Atlantic. HMS York due to pass the Round Tower at Old Portsmouth at 10am. Meanwhile the amphibious assault ship HMS Albion is to remain on standby until 2016 in a state of 'extended readiness' until she replaces HMS Bulwark in 2016. It is part of a shake-up by last October's Strategic Defence and Security Review. The ship returned to HM Naval Base Devonport in Plymouth from the Baltic on Saturday.
