Description

HMS Dragon is the fourth of the Royal Navy's six Type 45 air defence destroyers. Launched on 7 November 2008. After successful firing the Sea Viper, intensive at-sea training, her maiden deployed on 19 March 2013 to the Gulf region. Dragon quickly integrated into the Gulf theatre of operations, working closely with other UK and international partners to promote security in the region and keep the trade flowing through the Straits of Hormuz. While in the Indian Ocean Dragon visited many of the Gulf states including Oman,Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Bahrain. HMS Dragon then repositioned to the Eastern Mediterranean to demonstrate the flexibility of deployed maritime forces and to ensure the protection of UK interests, which includes the defence of our Sovereign Base Areas.
