PORTLAND Home – the Type 23 Frigate PORTLAND visited the namesake town for the first time in three years, allowing the sailors to exercise the Freedom of the Borough.   The PORTLAND spent four days in the port, as the Frigate took a short breather from a lengthy stint of training and regeneration following a 12 month refit in Rosyth and is now gearing up for a two month spell of Operational Sea Training which begins in June (2013).
