The ship was originally stationed on the Mersey near Liverpool, then moved to the Menai Strait during World War II.

South Korea:
ROKS Chungnam (FFG-828) was recently photographed at Hyundai Heavy Industries shipyard in Ulsan undergoing finishing touches prior to its scheduled launch in late April.
The Chungnam-class frigate (FFG-III) class is a larger and improved successor to the preceding classes of Incheon-class frigate (FFG-I) and Daegu-class frigate (FFG-II).
Its most noticeable improvement is the fixed AESA multi-function radar developed by Hanwha Systems which replaces SPS-550K AESA radar found on Incheon and Daegu-class frigates. It is also 500 tons larger and 7 meters longer than the Daegu-class frigate.
A total of 6x Chungnam-class frigates will be built to fully phase out Republic of Korea Navy’s remaining obsolete Pohang-class corvettes and Ulsan-class frigates. It will then be succeeded by FFX Batch-IV program.
