EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic HMS Dragon, a Type 45 destroyer of the Royal Navy, during Operation Kipion in 2013. The ship is pictured against a breathtaking backdrop of either a vibrant sunrise or a serene sunset in the Middle East. HMS Dragon, being the fourth vessel among six Type 45 destroyers, was launched on November 7th, 2008 with Mrs Susie Boissier as her proud sponsor. Following extensive trials and tests, she was officially commissioned on April 20th, 2012. Just eleven months later, after successfully demonstrating her capabilities by firing a Sea Viper missile and completing various readiness exercises such as BOST (Basic Operational Sea Training), HMS Dragon embarked on her maiden deployment to the Gulf region on March 19th, 2013. This remarkable image captures not only the sheer power and sophistication of this cutting-edge warship but also highlights its role in safeguarding international waters and promoting peace across regions. As part of the Royal Navy's fleet, HMS Dragon represents Britain's commitment to maintaining maritime security and projecting force when necessary. Photographed by L (Phot) Dave Jenkins from Armed Forces Media Team UK Ministry of Defence (MOD), this stunning print serves as an inspiring tribute to both the naval prowess embodied by HMS Dragon and those who serve aboard her.
