There is great excitement this week as Portsmouth welcomes, for the first time, HMS Daring into her home port.
As the first of the new Type 45 powerful air defence destroyers, the 7,350 tonne warship has arrived in Portsmouth and berthed in her home port to be greeted by families and friends of the ships company.
HMS Daring is currently alongside on Victory jetty. Visitors can see her from a short distance for the next few days.
Tickets are not required to enter the Historic Dockyard except during special events. However, the best view of Daring will be from the water, so it's worth checking out the times and availability of Harbour Tours, which are included in our great value all inclusive ticket which gives entry to all the attractions on site. These 45 minutes trips around the Harbour currently running at the weekends (subject to weather) are a great way to see the working naval ships and other fortifications all with a lively commentary! Telephone 023 9272 8060 between 10am 5pm.
