        <![CDATA[ In the Gulf there are a good variety of Royal Navy vessels but for some reason its appears to by the Type 22&#39;s that are charged with securing the Iraqi oil
terminals. HMS Chatham has just taken over duties from HMS Campbeltown. Is there any special reason that the Type 22&#39;s are used. Do they have lots of

			<description><![CDATA[ As Jim pointed out: the T22B3s are large, commodious &amp; capable warships. Ideal for flagship duties; good C2 facilities, &amp; very well-protected. From a
design for a dedicated ASW frigate in the 1970s, they evolved (after lessons were learned in the Falklands) into excellent all-round surface combatants.

			<description><![CDATA[ Flag facilities - good ability to embark flag staff plus more C2. 23&#39;s get rather cramped quite quickly - wheras the Batch C&#39;s are much better at it.
We are currently running 158, so thats the main reason there is a 22C there. ]]></description>
