Due to redevelopment works in the Royal Victoria Dock the LV93 had to be moved to a new mooring location in the King George V Dock - unfortunately the new site is less accessible and less visible to the public. It should also be noted the LV93 has been on the market for some time and is likely to have to find new moorings outside the Royal Docks complex. More pictures can be seen here: facebook...

Qué Almirante es ese????
Almirante Juan de Borbón (F-102) is the second ship of the new F-100 class of air defence frigates entering service with the Spanish Navy in 2003. She is named for Infante Juan de Borbón, Count of Barcelona, father of the former King of Spain, Juan Carlos I.
¿Preguntas, ni siquiera lo pides por favor, aún así tienen la deferencia de contestarte y no das ni las gracias? Vaya tropa tenemos hoy en día. 😡
Thank you. Pretty images of tugs and frigate. Good job of the pilot.
No lleva la bandera oficial de proa, de tajamar?
A jackstaff typically not used whilst underway
Otro que tal. Preguntas sin tener la mínima educación de pedirlo por favor y encima de que tienen la cortesía de contestarte ni siquiera les das gracias. 😡
@@gabrielferaud8360 Otro que tal?, Mínima educación? Usted no es quien para dar lecciones de educación, Don Perfecto. Menos soberbia! Por supuesto que se agradece la respuesta del caballero inglés .
@@JuanJose-kt9oe Pues solicite la información que necesite con un mínimo de cortesía y si tienen la deferencia con usted, de a pesar de no haberlo hecho así, dársela, al menos agradézcaselo todo y haciéndoselo saber. Don Egocéntrico.
@@gabrielferaud8360 No estamos en Versalles. Hay que saber estar ,y eso incluye ser comprensivo e indulgente (hasta compasivo)con lo que estimamos (erroneamente )como fallos casi imperdonables e inapelables. No ser jueces de los demás porque solamente Dios nos juzga.Y todos tenemos fallos. Solamente la persona que insulta merece nuestra censura, y no ha sido el caso. Buscar proporción en la crítica y ser oportuno y adecuado.
No CIWS.
That's probably down to cost or the fact it's probably going to spend most of its time around the Spanish coast and the Mediterranean Spanish coast .
Type 45, no antiship missiles.

The best frigate in the world

a destroyer actually
Top of the line sound insulation, doubt it would have been that noisy? I suspect Chelsea river-side apartment owners killed it off. Battery power is great... shame they weren't powerful enough to run the cooking equipment in the banquet kitchen. It was already built before anybody gave any thought to the kitchens 🤦♂
They can always use the "Royal Iris" instead. Oh no, it's just been left to rust😢
What a monstrosity , good riddance.
What is this boat used for?
Info in the description with more background in linked article
A battery powered boat being towed by a diesel tug😂
Pretty obvious really given how few long-distance battery powered tugs exist at this point 🤔
An obscure little boat. Great video and an even better article that is linked above.
Thank you, glad you liked the article 😊
Oh dear, were they unable to re-charge the Batteries from Mayor Khan's Grid?
Access to power supplies wasn't the problem.
Seriously?
No!
Monstrosity!
Not a good looking vessel, the steelwork looks to be very poorly finished off, general cargo ships are built to a nicer finish than her.
Yes, the finish looks quite poor in several areas!
Was ment to be floating nightclub cruising the river loading and unloading at butlers wharf near tower bridge locals campaigned about two thousand people disembarking at after midnight no toilets and traffic due to taxis on narrows streets.
This is false information - not a nightclub, not 2000 people, not after midnight at Butlers Wharf.
Where are they taking her
Liked the video. No Sound?
No, too much wind noise.
@@andrewchristy5747Stupid me, of course, the wind must have been bad on the open River. Thank you very much, I enjoyed the video,
@@fp30e not silly, a fair question, you can see the camera movements due to wind too. Glad you liked it 👍🙂
It’s an ugly spud for a knocking shop lol
What was her destination?
Initially Rotterdam
Thanks !
What was the project that was terminated and what was this vessel used for.
The linked blog post (link in details section) provides more background to the project. The vessel is a floating entertainment venue that was to be used on the Thames in London.
Ah thanks for that all becomes clear now
@@andrewchristy5747 We had a similar vessel on the Brisbane river. When the weather was not so good it came up river to our suburb. Nothing like the doof, doof, doof music to wake the children and set the neighborhood dogs off.
@@philgray3443 this vessel was designed and built more for the corporate market and not as a "party" vessel with very high levels of sound insulation - as it never operated it is impossible to say what it's noise footprint would actually be.
Whoa! Absolutely incredible moment in our history! Chinese ships calling to port at London after years of tumultuous relations between two great civilizations. One would've never expected things to turn out as it were today 5 years ago. Nonetheless, thank you for capturing this momentous occasion. Hope I'm able to witness more of such cooperation and friendly relations for the foreseeable future, or in this era at least. (I can see why you turned off comments in the other vid depicting their warships at Thames)
Is the concrete block hull for sale?
No, used as part of a building

Coming up to London for for her official visit a. I g I think
The tug skipper is genius !
Pretty decent firepower for deck guns: 76mm Oto Melara, two 20mm Rheinmetall, two .50 BMG and four mounts 7.62 GPMG. You make our Canadian navy coastal vessels look sick and lame. Well done Irish !!!!!
Let him have his disappointment, no worries
Amazing work :)
Did we ever think we'd see the day that an Irish warship would pull into London! Shows how far we've come.
Adorable lil Avro
Pity they didn't sail her under Tower Bridge. Fitting end to her first real expedition cruise. Ah well
What's with all the cheering and shouting? All that just for the ship?
Yes, the cheering was to welcome the ship and was it was a special event for the organisers and invited guests.
@@andrewchristy5747 Wow for a Indian ship wow
Fastest frigate with top speed of 60km/hr
That song...Ha of lakshya movie..that's Indians.. Jai hind😇
I saw this ship on a website today when it visited Belfast
I guess to be in line with the Zero CO2/Climate Change nonsense that comes out of this old duffers mouth these days that this ship runs on 'fresh air"? Ship should be called "MV Hypocrite".
cool
Great video, do you know where in Greenwich it docked?
Just upstream of the Passenger pier near Cutty Sark - leaves on 28/09/21 @ 1730.
the fact that i saw it delivering equipment for nightingale hospital
Impressive given that this was 2 years before Nightingale was set up!!
If we get indy we won't even have a ship like that we kranki will be trying to pay the EU
bonito buque,
The FCA Navy
Did anybody ask Samuel?
Disappointing? That dude forgot to take into account the VLS Brahmos (8 of them), two AK-630 CIWS, AA missiles, and many others. And it's a frigate, not a destroyer. Or maybe went into a defensive mode that something awesome with Indian written on it came to their home. That "Bharat Mata Ki" was so good to hear.
Yes Correct.Its a frigate, not a destroyer.look at pennant number It starts with "F". For destroyer it starts with "D"
Dosent look like Grimsby.
If you are referring to the vessel then it is most definitely HMS Grimsby M108 and if you are referring to the place then it isn't meant to look like Grimsby given that it is London!
Amazing, what’s that whining sound? Her turbines?
Yes, that's right
Remember Will - ex Will Everard - and Cambria very well back in the 1960s.
Good to see a relationship between our countries. We've got a common problem facing both our people's from the globalist led invasion.
This design reminds me of the Royal New Zealand Navy's 4 x smaller version of the 2 recent patrol vessel classes. Quite nice looking ships. Judging by the speed it looks like it is using its bow thruster and azipods to enter the lock safely. Or maybe it has both diesel and gas turbine propulsion for different speeds.
Built from the same design from what I know ..
