Here she is in drydock, next to a modern drilling rig! Size can be deceiving...

HMS Cavalier in Chatham Historic Dockyard, Kent. I believe she is the only former WWII Royal Navy destroyer left afloat

Also in Chatham is HMS Gannet, she was built in 1878, with an Iron hull utilising sail technology

I am surprised she isn't a museum ship yet.

 

[Pantry42]

She is a museum ship Jeff, sorry I didnt make that clear. Chatham was a former Royal Navy Dockyard that is now a historic ship museum.

No problem, I am glad she was saved.

No problem, I am glad she was saved.

From the museums website: Launched in 1944, HMS CAVALIER is a CA-class destroyer. She saw service in the Arctic, Western Approaches and British Pacific Fleet before finally paying off at Chatham in 1972.
She was one of 96 war emergency destroyers built, HMS CAVALIER currently resides in No.2 Dry Dock on the site of the Old Single Dock, where the Royal Navy’s most famous Chatham built ship HMS VICTORY was constructed – a fitting location for a vessel once known as ‘the fastest ship in the fleet’.

The U.S. Coast Guard's newest cutter. The USCG Calhoun at her new homeport of Charleston SC.
They are normally at the cg base further down the river with no photo access, but today she is next to where the HL Hunley is located on the old navy base, so of course I had to grab a quick photo.
