The Royal Navy is ensuring security and stability in the Middle East. Wonder what it involves? Let us break it down for you: ➡️We’re working to ensure the Strait of Hormuz remains open to safeguard shipping movements. ➡️Why is this important? With 20% of the world’s oil and liquid gasses passing through the Strait, we need to maintain a state of readiness in the area to continue protecting UK interests and assets. ➡️HMS Dragon, with her air-defence capability, and RFA Lyme Bay, kitted out with autonomous mine hunting equipment, are in the Middle East as part of a multi-national task force to assure the freedom of navigation and restoring vital trade routes.
