Heading out to sea from Portsmouth, this is the Royal Navy’s newest and most hi-tech warship setting sail on its maiden deployment.

A crowd of family members and well-wishers gathered to wave off HMS Daring as it left its home base for a seven-month mission to the Middle East.

The warship is the first of the six new Type 45 destroyers being introduced to the fleet.

On its way: HMS Daring, the largest and most powerful destroyer warship ever built for the Royal Navy, leaves Portsmouth Harbour on its maiden voyage to the Middle East

Imposing: The 152metre long vessel cost £1 billion and carries the world’s most sophisticated naval radar, as well as 48 high-tech Sea Viper anti-air missiles

The future: The ship is the first of six new destroyers which will replace the Type 42 vessels which started service in the 1970s

Daring will take over from a frigate on station east of Suez where it will continue counter-piracy measures as well as provide general backup for the UK’s operations and allies in the region.

The £1 billion destroyer,
also carries the world’s most sophisticated naval radar, capable of
tracking multiple incoming threats from missiles to fighter jets.

The vessel has also been fitted with new
technology that will give it the ability to shoot down any missile in an enemy’s armoury.

Preparations for the deployment have included extensive training culminating in an eight-week operational sea training course which the ship and crew passed in November.

The ship is the first of six new
destroyers which will replace the Type 42 vessels which started service
in the 1970s.

Seeing them off: A crowd of crew members family and friends gathers at Portsmouth Harbour to see the ship leave the port on its maiden voyage

Waving farewell: Sailors onboard the ship gesture to their families as the ship leaves on its seven month tour

Into the distance: The destroyers makes its way into the English channel at the beginning of its voyage to the Middle East

The vessel, with a crew of 180, is the first to be built with a futuristic design that makes it difficult to detect using radar.

It also has a large flight deck which can accommodate helicopters the
size of a Chinook as well as take on board 700 people in the case of a
civilian evacuation.

The 8,000 ton destroyer will carry 48 high-tech Sea Viper anti-air missiles that can also be used to shoot down fighters as well as sea skimming missiles. 

It
will also carry a Lynx helicopter capable of carrying Sea Skua
anti-ship missiles and is capable of carrying 60 special forces troops.

Commanding officer Captain Guy Robinson said: ‘Although this is very much a routine deployment, we must recognise that as first of class, it marks a significant milestone for the Type 45 Destroyer and the Royal Navy.

Shipshape: Able Seaman Sean Dobson, from Dagenham, gives the ship’s bell a polish aboard HMS Daring

Supplies: Two crew members load boxes of cucumbers and tomatoes onto the ship ahead of the ship leaving the port

‘The ship’s company, and everyone who supports us ashore, have worked tirelessly over the last year to reach this point.

‘We are now very much looking forward to the deployment where we can contribute to maritime security in the region as well as demonstrating Daring’s broad capabilities to our allies.

‘This first operational deployment for Type 45 will present many challenges for my team but we are confident that our recent training has fully prepared us.’

An MoD spokesman said: ‘The Royal Navy has had a continuous presence
East of Suez for many years, including the Armilla patrol and its
successors since 1980.

‘While the newly-operational Type 45
destroyer HMS Daring is more capable than earlier ships, her deployment
East of Suez has been long planned, is entirely routine and replaces a
Frigate on station.’

Hard to spot: The vessel, pictured during a training mission, employs a ‘stealth’ design to help avoid detection by radar and is the first to be built using this specification

Trial run: The ship’s testing included an extensive eight-week operational sea training course which the ship and crew passed in November

Lord West, the former First Sea Lord, has previously
described Daring as a ‘world beater’ in a report in The Daily Telegraph.  

‘This warship has an
unbelievably capable ability to track targets, spot the most dangerous
and identify them for its missiles to take out. It’s highly, highly
capable. I would like to see the Type 45s show their potential in the
region’ he added.

HMS Daring, the first of the Type 45 destroyers was commissioned in July 2009, followed by HMS Dauntless and HMS Diamond.

HMS Dragon arrived at Portsmouth in September last year ahead of its sea readiness training with all six scheduled to be in service by the middle of the decade.
