Every ship has a story. And what a story ours has been. ⚓️
Our Ship’s Company has said its final goodbye, the lights are out and the ensign has been lowered.
As we move on, HMS DUNCAN heads into refit, ready to return stronger than ever.
#LastandBest . Will return…
🎂 268 years young…
Happy Birthday to Admiral Lord Nelson — still one of the hardest acts in the Royal Navy to follow.
We’ll do our best. ⚓️

🇬🇧🇷🇺 UK Royal Navy has completed an intense three-day operation tracking Russian Navy vessels and sanctioned cargo ships in UK waters. @RoyalNavy
During the operation, Royal Navy Type 45 destroyer HMS Duncan, Type 23 frigate HMS St Albans and patrol ship HMS Severn tracked Russian destroyer Admiral Levchenko as it escorted sanctioned cargo vessels General Skobelev and Sparta south through the North Sea and into the English Channel. In response, Russia deployed military resources, including frigate Neustrashimy. @HMSDuncan @HMSStAlbans @hmssevern
The Royal Navy ships tracked the Russian task group through the English Channel before handing over monitoring duties to a NATO ally off the coast of France near Ushant.
Overall, Royal Navy activations to monitor Russian activity is up 25% across the first eight months of the year compared to 2025. It comes after the UK interdicted a sanctioned shadow fleet oil tanker, Smyrtos, in the English Channel in June.

From the North Atlantic to the Arctic Circle, we operated alongside @COMUKCSG and @NATO allies, delivering wherever we were needed.
17,464 miles sailed
Countless memories made
Proud of what we achieved. Even prouder of the people who made it happen.

One last sunrise.
As deployment draws to a close, everyone has their own way of counting down.
What’s the milestone that tells you home isn’t far away?
As part of the UK Carrier Strike Group, HMS DUNCAN is proud to operate alongside NATO allies, demonstrating collective readiness and commitment to security and stability in the High North.
Together, we train, operate and deliver.

Every round fired starts long before the trigger is pulled.
On the anniversary of the founding of the RN Engineering Branch, today was a reminder of the role our Weapons Engineers play in delivering capability at sea.
Proud of the team keeping HMS DUNCAN ready.

🎵 Every RAS has a breakaway song…
This time, we’re handing the choice to you.
What should HMS DUNCAN play as we break away? 🎶
(Keep it appropriate… 👀)
Best suggestion will make the playlist.

⚓ Keeping watch in the High North.
With @HMSPWLS on the horizon, HMS DUNCAN continues operations near Jan Mayen, demonstrating the reach and readiness of the UK Carrier Strike Group alongside our NATO allies.

Church with a difference.
This Sunday’s service took place in the Forward Machinery Room, kindly hosted by our Marine Engineering Department.
A chance to pause, reflect and think of those supporting us from home while we continue operations at sea.

While we continue operations at sea, we pause to recognise everyone who serves
On Armed Forces Day, we thank the men and women of the Royal Navy, British Army and Royal Air Force and the families whose support makes our service possible
@RoyalNavy #WeAreNATO
Congratulations to newly promoted Petty Officer Long and Chief Petty Officer Wilson. 👏
Promotion doesn’t happen by chance. It’s earned through hard work, commitment and dedication—and today that effort has been recognised.
Days like this make us incredibly proud.

📦From one flight deck to another.
Stores transferred by VERTREP from @HMSPWLS to HMS DUNCAN while at sea.
Fast, efficient, and straight back to business.

⚓ Lines slipped. Dundee astern. It’s been a pleasure.
HMS DUNCAN is back at sea and sailing to rejoin @HMSPWLS for the next phase of operations.
Proud to serve alongside our NATO allies as part of the UK Carrier Strike Group.

⚓ Another memorable visit to our affiliate city of Dundee.
It was a privilege to take part in remembrance events and spend time with so many fantastic people, including Police Scotland, Sea Cadets, Air Cadets and the wider community.
