HMS Berwick (F115) was a Batch 3 Type 23 frigate of the British Royal Navy. Commissioned in 1992, the ship was named after the town of Berwick-upon-Tweed in Northumberland. The frigate saw service in various operations, including the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Equipped with advanced radar and sonar systems, HMS Berwick was armed with a variety of weapons, including anti-ship missiles and anti-aircraft guns. The ship was also capable of carrying a Lynx helicopter for anti-submarine warfare and maritime surveillance. Throughout its service, the HMS Berwick participated in multinational exercises and patrols, contributing to maritime security and defense. The frigate was decommissioned in 2011 after nearly two decades of service. Following decommissioning, the ship was sold to the Chilean Navy and renamed Almirante Lynch. The transfer of the vessel to Chile marked a new chapter in its naval history, continuing its legacy of maritime operations under a different flag.
