Nov 14 - HMS Dragon Returns to the Rock
HMS Dragon will sail into Gibraltar on Saturday on her way back to the UK. She returns following a successful seven month maiden deployment to the Middle East as part of the UK’s long term commitment.
She will conduct a maritime security patrol on her way into HM Naval Base and take the opportunity to stock up on fuel and supplies whilst here in Gibraltar.
As the fourth of the Navy’s six Type 45 destroyers she was commissioned into the Navy’s fleet in April last year. Since then the highly capable multi-role ship and her190 strong crew have undergone intensive sea trials and training off the UK coast prior to her recent deployment.
