PS Constant, donated by India.
Although the Seychelles are a small country, it is located off the Horn of Africa, strategically close to the operation of notorious pirates.
India, China and the United Arab Emirates have made strategic donations of patrol vessels to the Seychelles. Through the Seychelles Coast Guard's employment of her small fleet, Seychelles has been able to arrest, try and convict many pirates. In 2013 the UAE paper The National reported that Seychelles was then imprisoning more than 100 convicted pirates.

Glass plate negative of Royal Navy’s flagship HMS ‘Orlando’ in Sutherland graving dock on Cockatoo Island, Sydney, c.1890

This image from a glass plate negative produced between 1888 and 1890 depicts HMS ?Orlando' in Sutherland Dock, Cockatoo Island in Sydney Harbour. The armoured cruiser was flagship of the Royal Navy's Australia Station from 1888 to 1897. Orlando was the first flagship of the Station not to have an auxiliary sailing capacity. During her period of service her funnels were extended to improve the updraft of her exhaust gases. In this image Orlando is fitted with her original short funnels and it is likely that this docking is her first on the Station. A member of the Royal Marine detachment can be seen on the foredeck and a Petty Officer is nearby with two seamen. The large single forward 9.2 inch (23.67 cm) gun can be seen as well as one 6 inch (15.24 cm) gun sited on a sponson on the port side.

This photographic negative was taken by the Sydney based photographer Henry King. It is part of a collection of over 1300 glass plates taken between 1880 and 1917, although most appear to have been made in the late 1880s and 1890s King was one of the Colony's most significant early photographers and although born in England around 1855 grew up in Sydney.

“On 20 July 2016, while surfacing on an exercise in the Strait of Gibraltar, HMS Ambush was in collision with the Panama flagged merchant ship Andreas, sustaining significant damage to the top of her conning tower where some of her sonar equipment is housed. It was reported that no crew members were injured during the collision and that the submarine's nuclear reactor section remained completely undamaged. Repairs cost £2.1 million and the commander, who was training a group of students at the time, was sentenced to forfeiting a year of seniority for negligently hazarding the vessel.”
