UK In Action: Daring and Dauntless off Isle of Wight


Type 45 destroyers together for the first time. HMS Daring (rear) and Dauntless (front) conduct Officer of the Watch manoeuvres south of the Isle of Wight. The Royal Navy’s two new formidable air defence destroyers performed side by side for the first time. The pair sailed at high speeds to simulate the defence of a high value warship and also put their communications equipment to the test as a warm up to intensive operational sea training later this year.
