HMS Scylla
HMS Scylla (F71) was the last frigate to be built at Devonport dockyard, launched in August 1968 and commissioned in 1970. The Scylla was sunk on 27th March 2004 as an artificial reef, a project managed by the National Marine Aquarium in Plymouth.
The wreck now lies with her bows to the south-west, upright and intact, and it is possible to access the superstructure and significant parts of the interior. The Scylla is now a popular dive site and is visited by many hundreds of divers each year.
