Description:
HMS Glasgow (F88) is a modern Type 26 frigate developed for anti-submarine warfare and global naval operations within the Royal Navy. Featuring advanced stealth architecture and cutting-edge mission systems, the vessel represents the future of British frigate design.
This 30-inch handcrafted model is meticulously built using the traditional plank-on-frame method and premium-grade woods, including Western Red Cedar, Teak, and Mahogany.

History:
HMS Glasgow (F88) is the first ship of the Royal Navy's new Type 26 City-class frigate program, developed to replace the aging Type 23 frigates. The vessel was designed primarily for advanced anti-submarine warfare while maintaining versatility for global naval missions.
Named after the city of Glasgow, the frigate incorporates modern stealth technologies, advanced sonar systems, and flexible mission capabilities for future Royal Navy operations. The Type 26 program is considered one of the United Kingdom's most important next-generation naval projects.
