Welcome aboard, Wrexham! 🐉🏴 For the first time since the Second World War a #RoyalNavy warship will be affiliated with Wrexham. Destroyer HMS Dragon's affiliation passed from capital Cardiff to the northeastern Welsh city in a ceremony in Portsmouth.








Congratulations to the WE Dept Weapons Group who have received an Royal Navy & Royal Marines Charity #HerbertLott efficiency award for their continued high output and effort in the regeneration of our fighting capabilities.


Watch HMS Dragon sailing from Scotland to take part in U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa/U.S. 6th Fleet's #FormidableShield25 - the premier Air and Missile Defence exercise in NATO with 11 Allies taking part in the largest at-sea live fire event in the European theatre. Real missiles. Real targets. #WeAreNATO


Royal Navy destroyer HMS Dragon conducted an Air Defence Exercise with the Typhoons of the Royal Air Force whilst taking part in U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa/U.S. 6th Fleet and STRIKFORNATO's #FormidableShield25. The message is clear: NATO stands ready to defend every inch of Allied territory.


A Friday fireball courtesy of HMS Dragon... In a burst of fire and smoke, the Type 45 destroyer launched a specially-modified Sea Viper missile at an incoming high-speed target which was emulating the kind of advanced threats seen around the globe today.

Up steps Jack for the 200th time... This week’s bumper 200th episode of the #RoyalNavy’s news update comes from HMS Dragon – firing off the headlines like the Type 45 did with her Sea Viper missile system last week during a major allied exercise.
