Regina Maria (formerly HMS London (F95)) is a Type 22 frigate of the Romanian Navy. She was purchased by the Romanian Navy on January 14, 2003, named Regina Maria (Queen Mary) after Marie of Edinburgh.
Regina Maria was commissioned into the Romanian Navy on April 21, 2005. There has since been some controversy over the price at which she was bought[1].
