Likely to offload, as she left Gibraltar for Australia on 23 January I would think it unlikely she would be sent back to the Arabian Sea - presumably the long way to avoid vulnerability of transiting the Suez Canal on the surface. AFAIK potential targets are well beyond range from the (even Very) Eastern Med. Even with 1SL's 100-day plan neither Artful or any of the others are available. Having lost another frigate her ASW capabilities are needed in home waters and further north,

I notice our Spanish "Allies" played silly buggers as usual.
