May 09 The ‘Black Duke’ Heads Home
Type 23 frigate HMS Monmouth also known as the ‘Black Duke’ arrives in Gibraltar tomorrow following a seven month deployment to the Middle East as part of the continuous British presence in the region protecting shipping, preventing smuggling and acting to disrupt and deter piracy.
She will spend a few days here taking the opportunity to stock up on supplies and have some much needed down time before heading home to Plymouth.
Monmouth is the sixth of the Type 23 frigates and was launched by Lady Eaton in 1991 and commissioned two years later.

The Government of Gibraltar has today published regulations which amend section 35 of the Broadcasting Act 2012. The changes to the Act address concerns raised by the European Commission regarding the effectiveness of the current section 35 with respect to the protection of minors from on-demand audiovisual media services. As amended, section 35 will protect minors from programmes which might seriously impair their physical, mental or moral development (where content includes pornography or gratuitous violence).
The PDP welcomes the announcement of the purchase of the old Queens Cinema by the Government to convert this into a much needed theatre for Gibraltar. The provision of this was a PDP manifesto commitment and that it is now going to become a reality can only be a positive move for drama, culture, entertainment and the promotion of these in our people and our schools. The location of the new theatre at the old cinema site is far more functional than the old Theatre Royal site well apart from the financial fiasco that particular GSD project turned into.
