Rob Cross and
Peter Wright cannot always be found at the darts board, as last week they spent a day as guests on a frigate of the British Royal Navy.
Cross and Wright visited the HMS Lancaster, a multipurpose warship, adept at counter-narcotics operations in the Caribbean and maritime security patrols east of Suez. The Type 23 frigate can be deployed with a Wildcat maritime attack helicopter, making it ideal for challenging defense and security missions.
Cross reacted to the day via his official X (Twitter) account: "I was also privileged to get a tour of @HMSLANCASTER with Wrighty," He reflected: "What a great bunch of lads. Keep up the great work."
Wright, too, was impressed. "What a great day on board. Thank you for welcoming us aboard," he said on X, along with the photo of him next to the Type 23 frigate.
