HMS Duncan

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. #ArcticSentry

🎵 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. #ArcticSentry

⚓ 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. #ArcticSentry #WeAreNATO

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. @RoyalNavy #ArcticSentry

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. @RoyalNavy

Celebrating Women in Engineering Day—thank you to all who serve, have served, and will serve as engineers. Your impact powers everything we do. Thinking of joining? Visit @RoyalNavy—this job really is awesome. #INWED2026 #WomenInEngineering #AWEsoME

📦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. @COMUKCSG #ArcticSentry #WeAreNATO @RoyalNavy

⚓ 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. #WeAreNATO #ArcticSentry @RoyalNavy @COMUKCSG

⚓ HMS DUNCAN fires a 21-gun salute to mark the Official Birthday of His Majesty The King. Wishing His Majesty a very happy birthday from all onboard. #KingsBirthday @RoyalNavy #ArcticSentry

@JamesOD60981967 @RoyalNavy Great idea! 62 lengths= 1 mile 😳

@HMSDuncan @RoyalNavy Best way to start the weekend! How many laps of the flight deck would you have to do for an at sea ParkRun?

🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️ Team DUNCAN out in force at Camperdown parkrun this morning. A great way to start the weekend in our affiliate city, and a fitting location given Camperdown’s place in Royal Navy history. ⚓ Admiral Duncan would be proud! #LastandBest @RoyalNavy #ArcticSentry

We are alongside in Dundee for a short stop and proud to be back in one of our affiliate cities. While @HMSPWLS continus integration training off the coast, we’re taking the opportunity to replenish, reset and prepare for the next phase of operations. Great to be back in Dundee

👀 Caption competition time… What’s going on here? Wrong answers only. (Shout out to @RFATidespring for keeping the task group fuelled and ready to go) #ArcticSentry @HMSPWLS @RoyalNavy

⚓ On the anniversary of D-Day, we remember all those who took part in the Normandy landings.l As we sail alongside our NATO allies today, we honour the courage, sacrifice and unity that helped secure freedom in Europe 82 years ago We will remember them. #DDay82 #ArcticSentry

🇬🇧🤝🇩🇰 Alongside Aarhus, City of Smiles. HMS DUNCAN joined our Danish friends in HDMS Esbern Snare for a PASSEX, exchanging personnel between ships and strengthening the partnership. Working together. Learning together. Stronger together. #ArcticSentry #WeAreNATO @RoyalNavy

Saturday night at sea means the important questions need answering… 🥩 Steak or 🍗 Chicken Kyiv We’ll let you - and our fellow Type 45s - settle the debate. @HMSDefender @HMSDauntless @HMSDragon @hmsdiamond @HMSDaring #LastandBest #RoyalNavy #T45

⚓ Quick logistics stop alongside in Norway 🇳🇴 Taking on supplies, out all gash, and enjoying views like this before getting quickly back underway. 🌈 #HMSDuncan #RoyalNavy
