GIBRALTAR (Agencies) The British destroyer HMS York sailed at short notice from Gibraltar to Libya last Thursday. At the time of writing, she is expected to be available for any further evacuation of British or other nationals, if needed. The ship was in Gibraltar for spares and fuel needed for a scheduled sailing to the South Atlantic when a message was received for her to change course. A British military spokesman confirmed: "HMS York has sailed from Gibraltar towards the Eastern Mediterranean to ensure that she is better placed, if required, to support the Foreign and Commonwealth's extraction of British nationals from Libya."
