Summary[edit]

Description
English: Families and friends of HMS Duncan's ships company waving off the ship from "Round Tower", Portsmouth.

The Type 45 destroyer spent the first nine months of her deployment working with allies in the Mediterranean, Middle East and Gulf to protect allied and merchant shipping and wider British interests in the region.

Destroyers are part of the backbone of the Royal Navy, committed around the world 365 days a year hunting pirates, drug runners or submarines, defending the Fleet from air attack, and providing humanitarian aid after natural disasters.

Britain's 6 Type 45 destroyers are the most advanced warships the nation has ever built. Their mission is to shield the Fleet from air attack using Sea Viper missile which can knock targets out of the sky up to 70 miles away.
