That outward opening airliner style door looks like a trendy modern design feature. I wonder how long she will be in service before it gets distorted with a line snagged across it.
Further to the above I found the following quote on the Flags of the World website decription of the Blue Ensign.
A recent change in regulations now requires new Royal Navy ships on contractors' trials to fly the Blue Ensign while on trials. The change took place 1 Jan 2000 and is not a plain Blue Ensign, but the "Government Service Ensign" which is a Blue Ensign with a horizontal gold anchor in the fly.
