In the next three years the Royal Navy warship HMS Lancaster will set sail to maintain security

HMS Lancaster is to set sail from Portsmouth on Monday – and will not be seen again in the UK for at least three years. The ‘Queen’s Frigate’ – launched by Her Majesty in 1990 and named after her as the Duke of Lancaster – will become the second major Royal Navy warship to operate from Bahrain on a long-term mission.

From there, she will work with Allies and regional partners, providing security to UK and international shipping, and preventing the proliferation of arms and drugs smuggling which directly impacts the security of the Middle East and Europe.

Before Lancaster reaches her new operational theatre, she has extensive duties to perform in European and Mediterranean waters with NATO, as well as helping to push the boundaries of naval technology and robot craft.
She’s due to conduct patrols with two NATO task forces: firstly, Standing Group 1 whose flotilla of mostly frigates and destroyers sails the waters of northern Europe on security missions. And, later on her journey to the Gulf, Lancaster will take her place in the force’s Mediterranean counterpart, Standing Group 2, which conducts the same mission from the Pillars of Hercules to the Red Sea.
