Seems, age of Britannia ruling the waves isn't over yet despite emergence of other global and regional powers.

Just like my good american friend @Hamartia Antidote said, Britain still has dozens of overseas territories scattered around the globe which many people dont even know about, because we and France keep it quiet. Many people don't know the extent of our world reach.

Lets stay inthe Carribean, but moving a little bit further South off the coast of Cuba(Not Guantanamo.lol) in..............

AFAIK the US normally does not build ships for other countries. We just give them old ones.

I think you should check with the Perry class, versions of which were built in Australia (6), Spain (6) and Taiwan (8). Also, all of the Israëli Sa'ar V were built in the US. Then there are smaller craft e.g. Halter Marine FACs for Egypt. Saudi Arabia's 4 Badr corvettes and 9 Al Sadiq patrol boats are all US built. And as far as ex-USN or USCG ships are concerned, some are given in aid while others a sold.

British virgin islands. Location.

Here he is again, yes its HMS Argyll(i call it the carribean warship.lol). The British Virgin Islands (BVI) witnessed the departure of Devonport based Royal Navy Warship HMS Argyll today after a two day community engagement and disaster relief planning visit.

HMS Argyll arrives in: HMS Argyll hosted local disaster management leaders on-board to discuss the capabilities a Type 23 Frigate could provide in the aftermath of a hurricane.
Through the on-board discussion the ship’s company gained a greater understanding of BVI and this will allow more effective assistance should a disaster occur.
HMS Argyll’s Commanding Officer, Commander Paul Hammond, said: “It is with great pride that HMS Argyll visits the British Virgin Islands, the third British Overseas territory we have visited during our deployment.”

HMS Argyll docks in the British Virgin Islands: Continuing to work in partnership with BVI, on the second day of the visit HMS Argyll welcomed members of the Virgin Islands Search and Rescue team for a mutual training and knowledge exchange exercise focussed on how Search and Rescue operations are conducted on-board.
Additionally, 15 members of Ships Company stepped ashore for six hours to assist the local community by working to restore local buildings including the Government Museum and the Rotary House.
As directed by Her Majesty the Queen, members of HMS Argyll’s ship’s company ‘Spliced the Main Brace’ for the new aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth while the ship visited BVI.

HMS Argyll taking a nap at sunset. On her first evening in BVI, HMS Argyll welcomed approximately 100 key members of the local community, including Governor His Excellency Boyd McCleary, onboard for a Reception and Capability Demonstration.

Discussing medical support with staff from the Red Cross:
Before the departure the presentation of a stamp served to emphasise the long connection between BVI, the Royal Navy and HMS Argyll in particular.
BVI at one time produced a postage stamp showing a Royal Navy warship steaming through the islands; the pennant number gives the game away that frigate is HMS Argyll!

Welcoming the Governor of the British Virgin Islands on-board.: We continue to look forward to our future visits but remain prepared for any eventuality and ready to respond to whatever challenges may arise over the next 6 months.
Commander Steve Moorhouse RN
