1980s
In 1980, Scylla performed humanitarian relief when Cayman Brac, part of the Cayman Islands, experienced a powerful hurricane. Between 1980 and 1984, Scylla underwent modernisation, including having Exocet and Sea Wolf missile launchers fitted, forcing Scylla to miss the Falklands War of 1982. She performed numerous patrols and guard ship duties, being used at times as guard ship for the West Indies, a duty still prominent for the present-day RN frigate, as well as patrolling the Persian Gulf as part of Armilla Patrol.
