CARDIGAN BAY was originally named LOCH LAXFORD as part of the Loch class AS frigate building programme, but 26 Lochs were scheduled for completion as Bay class AA frigates, named after bays in the United Kingdom. Only 19 were eventually completed as Bays; 2 were completed as despatch vessels, 4 as survey vessels and 1 cancelled.
HMS CARDIGAN BAY was built by Henry Robb Ltd, Leith. for more click here
