ST.ALBANS Remembers - The Type 23 Frigate ST.ALBANS on completion of a recent visit to Iceland sailed from Reykjavik in company with the flagship Icelandic Coastguard Vessel THOR, Iceland’s newest and most impressive Coastguard Vessel.       After sailing from Reykjavik (and en-route to Hamburg) the ST.ALBANS mustered the ship’s company on the flight deck in an EIIR formation in order to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of HM The Queen.     The ST.ALBANS also conducted ‘Officer of the Watch’ manoeuvres while her MERLIN helicopter (call sign “Sinner”) conducted winching operations to the deck of THOR.  On completion, ST.ALBANS conducted a memorial service and wreath laying in the fjord Hvalsfordur to commemorate the 70th Anniversary of the Arctic convoys.
