The Entry to Portsmouth was a quite awe-inspiring experience for the Ship. Despite the fog, there were hundreds of people lining the front as we slipped into Harbour. I had never experienced such a welcome before and it was a really powerful and delightful illustration of the interest and support that people have for the Royal Navy. Having said all that, I think we are right to be excited (I would say that wouldn’t I) – the most capable Air Defence Destroyer in the World – Defence, the RN and British Industry deserve to be animated bout the achievement.
