Nice, congratulations! I guess there wouldn't be an English version of the article around somewhere?

Ok I found the official link through the Lloyd’sList page

But its not news, its before the event

Seems the above link is now updated with this year's awards.

BTW the weather worsens by the day, and Averof will now return to Athens without stopping to Lemnos island..

Hmm a beautiful video about her return from the drydock back in July. I wonder how it slipped past me, maybe because it was posted in Vimeo and not Youtube. In any case I saw it once it was uploaded in her website. I cropped and hosted some printscreens:

In below picture she appears to be towed by F460 Aegeon/ΑΙΓΑΙΟΝ:
I sailed for two years on her sister ship Kortenaer-class frigate HNLMS Abraham Crijnssen (F-816)

No, the frigate was honor guard, she was towed by private tugs.

Averof''s new deck: The progress is slow though, don't know why they take their time:
