Primed to fiercely protect: our seas, our peace, our economy.
A thriving global economy depends on maritime trade - and as an island nation, the UK needs a strong navy to protect its interests.
Day after day, we keep a watchful eye over home and international waters, safeguarding citizens and allies from pirates, terrorists and criminals.
When instability occurs in a country we rely on for trade, resources become scarce and costs soar.
We work proactively – often in partnership with other nations – to maintain the smooth flow of goods and supplies in regions where conflict is a real threat.
With nearly half of our food imported from overseas and 97% of our data transferred by underwater cables, we are heavily reliant on the maritime industry’s stability.
Protecting critical shipping lanes keeps our economy afloat.
