  HMS Marlborough (F233) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marlborough was the first naval ship on the scene to assist the stricken USS Cole after she was attacked in Aden in October 2000.
Marlborough, under the command of Capt Anthony Rix, RN, was on passage to the UK after a six-month deployment in the Gulf and had a full medical detachment on board; when her offer of assistance was accepted she immediately diverted to Aden.
In October 2004 Marlborough again came to the aid of a stricken ally when she was dispatched to assist HMCS Chicoutimi, adrift off the northwest Irish coast and arrived at the scene where RFA Wave Knight and Marlborough's sister-ship HMS Montrose were present.
