Modified River Class
A modified fourth Batch II vessel, HMS Clyde, constructed at Portsmouth Dockyard, replaced the two vessels of the Castle class for duties in the Falkland Islands. This ship displaces 1,850 tonnes and has a 30 mm gun, as well as a deck strengthened for aircraft operations.
Another vessel was built for the Royal Thai Navy called HTMS Krabi. This ship was built in Thailand but designed by BAE Systems. On this ship the main gun was changed to a 76mm gun.

Famous quotes containing the words modified, river and/or class:
“Poetry presents indivisible wholes of human consciousness, modified and ordered by the stringent requirements of form. Prose, aiming at a definite and concrete goal, generally suppresses everything inessential to its purpose; poetry, existing only to exhibit itself as an aesthetic object, aims only at completeness and perfection of form.”
—Richard Harter Fogle, U.S. critic, educator. The Imagery of Keats and Shelley, ch. 1, University of North Carolina Press (1949)
“We are bare. We are stripped to the bone
and we swim in tandem and go up and up
the river, the identical river called Mine
and we enter together. No one’s alone.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“He has more to impart than to receive from his generation. He is another such a strong and finished workman in his craft as Samuel Johnson was, and, like him, makes the literary class respectable.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
