This was one of two Whitbread inn signs hanging outside The Antelope in Hereford in 1992. The pub was formerly called the Railway Inn but changed in 1978. The city adopted HMS Antelope in 1974 and has a Cadet Corps training ship called Antelope. Unveiled by the commanding officer of HMS Antelope, this inn sign shows the frigate at full speed. Designed by Vosper Thorycroft in collaboration with Yarrow Ltd., the Antelope was launched in March 1972 by Mrs Peter Kirk, wife of the then Under-Secretary of State for the Royal Navy at Woolston, Southampton. Commissioned three years later, the Rolls-Royce-powered frigate was based at Devonport. HMS Antelope was hit by bombs on May 23rd 1982 during the Falklands conflict and sank on the following day. The pub too has vanished - it closed down in 1997 and was demolished in 2003.
