Royal Navy: HMS Dauntless makes glorious return to Portsmouth - see pictures

HMS Dauntless has sailed back into HMNB Portsmouth following an eventful deployment in the Caribbean – which she started in June.

The Type 45 destroyer has been working hard to tackle drug smugglers in the areas around South America and in the Caribbean Sea and a large £60m haul of cocaine was confiscated from illegal vessels in November.

HMS Dauntless sailed past The Round Tower this morning (December 8) at approximately 9:25am following a delay in her return.
