Tug towed decommissioned frigate to sinking position

Tue Sep 29 10:20:46 CEST 2026 Timsen

The guided-missile frigate USS 'Klakring' started its final voyage on Aug 12, 2026, when the 'Atlantic Salvor' took the ship in tow at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard. The voyage across the Atlantic took two weeks; the tug hauled the 138-meter-long warship across the ocean to Scotland. The 'Klakring' was prepared for its final mission in the small port of Campbeltown. This last leg of the journey began on Sep 16, with the 'Atlantic Salvor' towing the 'Klakring' to a holding position near the Hebrides, before being scuttled on a water depth of 1500 metres during the Atlantic Thunder manoevre. During the SINKEX, participating forces assigned to U.S. Commander, Task Force 65, U.S. Commander, Task Force 67, U.S. Commander, Task Force 68, U.S. Commander, Task Force 69 and U.S. Commander, Task Force 1060 alongside the U.K. Royal Navy and the U.S. Air Force sank the ship. The exercise was underway from Sep 14 to 25. The USS 'Klakring' was hit by a missile fired from the U.S. destroyer USS 'Paul Ignatius'. Royal Navy ships and aircraft also took part. The exercise was held at the Ministry of Defence’s Hebrides range, west of the Outer Hebrides. The U.S. Naval Forces Europe and Africa released a video showing the missile hitting and destroying the former frigate. The ship met the same fate as its sister ship, the USS 'Boone', which was sunk off the coast of Scotland in September 2022. Details regarding the shelling, weapon systems, and damage to the ship remained classified to this day. Videos released of the burning 'Boone' showed holes in the hull. The US and British navies hoped that sinking the frigates would yield new insights into the effectiveness of modern weaponry.
