HMS Cumberland (F85) is a Type 22 frigate of the Royal Navy. She was on station during the First Gulf War. On 26 September 2000 Cumberland worked with local fishermen to aid the rescue of survivors of the Greek ferry Express Samina which ran aground two miles off the island of Paros. Cumberland is currently part of the 2nd Frigate Squadron based at Devonport Dockyard.
Chris Cranmer, the first registered Satanist serving in the Royal Navy, was a technician on board this vessel as of 2004.
