Out of curiosity, how often would you see a site like these days in Portsmouth? Daily or more likely once or twice a week?

Stevo · Feb 2, 2012

Normally week days you can expect on average 2 destroyer/frigate departures daily of course that is changing all the time with the diminshing size of the navy. Earlier this week, Illustrious went out one day and back the next. Today just 2 Type 23s are active and are anchored in the Solent but not sheduled to enter harbour. Usually weekends you just have the University boats (P2000) making up the movements.
