HMS Severn passing Port Glasgow

HMS Severn (P282) is a River Class offshore patrol vessel, seen here passing the Perch lighthouse in retro WWII ‘Western Approaches’ livery, which was applied to U-boat killers through much of World War 2. She is the first Royal Navy ship to have been painted in this livery since WWII, as a tribute to sailors of the Battle of the Atlantic who operated in the same waters in which HMS Severn regularly operates.
