1970s
She came into to the public limelight in 1973 when she collided with the Torpoint ferry. That same year, Scylla took part in the Second Cod War during the fishing dispute with Iceland. She performed patrols against harassment on fishing boats by any Icelandic vessels. During that conflict, Scylla was rammed by the Icelandic gunboat Aegir, a vessel that took part in a number of incidents with British vessels over the years.
In 1975, Scylla was again in 'action' against Iceland during the Third Cod War due to further fishing disputes. She once again patrolled against harassment to British fishing trawlers by Icelandic gunboats and other vessels. In 1976, Scylla performed royal escort duties, and the following year took part in the Queen's Silver Jubilee celebrations, taking part in the last RN Fleet Review so far. During that review Scylla was placed in between HMS Berwick and her sister-ship HMS Euryalus.
