Welsh singer Katherine Jenkins has become an official sponsor of the Royal Navy’s submarine hunter.
It is usually a lifelong commitment performed by royalty – the Princess of Wales is the sponsor of HMS Cardiff’s sister ship HMS Glasgow – or prominent figures such as the wives of senior military figures and political leaders. “Inspired by all those I have met so far and humbled by this wonderful invitation, I am honoured to be announced as the sponsor of HMS Cardiff. A lifelong role, I look forward to making more memories through this impressive new ship and serving with love and dedication.
The second of eight new submarine-hunting frigates – a Type 26 or City class – HMS Cardiff is being built on the hardstanding of BAE Systems’ facility in Govan, Glasgow in Scotland.
