A 43-year-old decommissioned US frigate has been deliberately sunk during a training exercise off the coast of Scotland.
The former warship was used as a target for practice in waters near the Outer Hebrides before being sent beneath the surface. The exercise involved the vessel in its decommissioned state and formed part of training activity in the area.
No further details about the frigate, the precise location or the timing of the sinking were provided. The latest known position is that the vessel has been deliberately sunk off Scotland following its use as a training target.
