Deployed for six months, this formidable vessel plays a crucial role in Operation TELIC by providing security to Iraq's offshore oil infrastructure. As part of the coalition campaign, this effort is vital for both the Iraqi economy and reconstruction endeavors. In addition to its duties in the Arabian Gulf, HMS Somerset also supports Operation ACTIVE ENDEAVOUR in the Mediterranean.

This versatile frigate will further engage in various multinational exercises and actively support UK strategic interests throughout the Middle East region.
