HMS Loch Lomond, a Loch-class frigate of the British Royal Navy, was named after Scotland’s Loch Lomond.  

During World War II, she served with the 17th Escort Group, patrolling waters around Scotland, Northern Ireland, and the English Channel, and later, she was designated for service in the East Indies. After various operations, including a planned involvement in “Operation Zipper” for the recapture of British Malaya, she returned to the UK in April 1946.

Recommissioned in September 1950, Loch Lomond served in the Mediterranean Fleet until October 1952. After undergoing modernization from 1953 to 1955, she returned to service, undertaking missions in the Mediterranean, Persian Gulf, and East Coast of India Patrol.

Major refits in 1958 and 1959 preceded her recommissioning in September of the latter year.

In the 1960s, Loch Lomond continued her service, patrolling the Persian Gulf, participating in military operations during the Indonesia–Malaysia confrontation, and serving as a guard ship in the Maldives. She returned to the UK in December 1964 and was decommissioned in 1965, eventually being scrapped in 1968 after equipment stripping at Chatham.
