| HMS Brave |
 
Dates: 1983 - 1999 HMS Brave (F94) was a Type 22 frigate of the Royal Navy. She was built by Yarrow Shipbuilders Ltd, Glasgow, Scotland. HMS Brave was decommissioned on 23 March 1999 and was expended as a target in August 2004by HMS Sceptre and HMS Argyll. She cost some ?250m to build and spent most of her first commission (1985-1987) as a trials ship. She achieved various firsts in her weapons and communications fit. Thus, from 1985-1987, HMS Brave had a number of civilian military contractors’ personnel embarked and Commander Coyote, the Seawolf Trials mascot, became a familiar figure on board. She had a reputation as a "happy ship". It was not until the autumn of 1987 that she undertook Basic Operational Sea-Training (BOST) at Portland and joined the Fleet as a fully worked-up unit.
