We have travelled over 35,000 miles, escorted 4 aircraft carriers, protected 1 million tonnes of merchant shipping, worked with 14 allied nations, visited 12 ports and conducted 4 defence engagements including hosting presidents and the #RoyalFamily. Today, we are finally #Home
Today we mark the anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar โ a defining moment in our naval history. The values shown then โ courage, leadership, determination โ are the same we strive to live by now. From sail to steel, we remain ready to serve.
