HMS Chatham (F87) is a Type 22 frigate of the Royal Navy. She was guardship to the Royal Yacht Britannia when she withdrew from Hong Kong. In May 2000 Chatham was part of the Amphibious Ready Group (ARG) sent to the coast of Sierra Leone to oversee the evacuation of British, EU and Commonwealth nationals.
In December, 2004 the Chatham operated off the coast of Sri Lanka, carrying out relief operations after the devastating Indian Ocean Tsunami.
On April 18, 2005, the Chatham, at Alexandria, Egypt, sent a party ashore to provide a burial for the recently-uncovered remains of thirty British sailors and officers who had died during or after the 1798 Battle of the Nile.
See HMS Chatham for other ships of the same name.
