Meanwhile London announced its sending a second frigate to guard British flagged vessels transiting the Hormuz straits.

That's their entire surface navy isn't it? /s

The British have more than two Type-45 frigates like the one they're sending to the Hormuz to escort tankers, but you can count them on your fingers.

HMS Duncan is the sixth and last of the Type 45 or Daring-class air-defence destroyers built for the Royal Navy. Duncan is named after Adam Duncan, 1st Viscount Duncan (1 July 1731 – 4 August 1804), who defeated the Dutch fleet at the Battle of Camperdown on 11 October 1797.
