TEMA Port - the Type 23 Frigate ARGYLL visited the port of Tema (Ghana) with awnings rigged and white ensign backdrops, as the vessel was to host a delegation of politicians, academics and military personnel gathered to discuss maritime security off West Africa and the Royal Institute of International Affairs, (a non-profit, non-governmental organisation from London, better known as Chatham House) held a conference on board.   A very full programme of demonstrations of the capabilities of the frigate were displayed, and links with the Ghanaian Navy strengthened.    On completion of the tasking in the Atlantic, the ARGYLL will undertake a number of important regional engagement visits before returning home in September 2013.
