HMS Brilliant

From Warlike

Q1564440




HMS Brilliant was a Batch 1 Type 22 frigate of the Royal Navy. She was named under the original convention that all Type 22s would bear ‘B’ names following the ‘A’ names of the Type 21 frigates; this policy was revised after the Falklands War to commemorate the destroyers Sheffield and Coventry, both sunk during the War, while the yet‑to‑be‑laid Bloodhound was renamed HMS London (F95).
