Princess Catherine Makes History, Christens HMS Glasgow

Princess Catherine christens HMS Glasgow in a memorable ceremony. The Princess of Wales, Catherine, made history today by christening the HMS Glasgow, a Type 26 frigate. The event, held at BAE Systems' Govan shipyard in Glasgow, Scotland, marked the first time the Princess has undertaken such an honor. The ceremony involved a short speech by the Princess, followed by the traditional smashing of a bottle of whiskey against the ship's hull. A large crowd gathered to witness the occasion. "It was a wonderful day," said one eyewitness. "The Princess was very gracious and the ceremony was very moving." The HMS Glasgow, a state-of-the-art warship, is a significant addition to the Royal Navy. Its christening represents a proud moment for the UK and its shipbuilding industry. The event concluded with the Princess and other dignitaries posing for photos with shipyard workers.
