HMS Duncan

@HMSDuncan battled drones blazing in at over 200mph, simulated missiles and fast-moving surface vessels — day and night. The result? Five aerial targets neutralised. Two Hammerheads sunk. Ready to fight. Ready to defend. ➡️ royalnavy.mod.uk/news/2026/febr…

Great to welcome Aggie’s on board HMS DUNCAN today for Storybook Waves, helping our sailors record stories for loved ones at home. A busy couple of days of recordings — and even time for standeasy with Cdr Lee (and Mr Gruffalo!). #HMSDuncan #Aggies #StorybookWaves #RoyalNavy

In the dark. Under pressure. Live rounds still in the air. HMS DUNCAN’s team conducted rapid reloading drills by night—because when it matters most, we don’t get to choose the conditions. Prepared. Practised. Ready. #LastAndBest #RoyalNavy

A huge well done to AB Anderson and AB Watkin on their advancement to First Class in their respective specialisations — Warfare and Engineering. Your dedication, hard work and professionalism are what make HMS DUNCAN the ship she is. #TeamDuncan #RoyalNavy

Happy New Year from HMS DUNCAN! 2025 was a year of regeneration, NATO tasking, remembrance, and reunions. From Hamburg to home, we trained hard, stood ready, and delivered. Here’s to 2026 — wherever we go, we go together. #HappyNewYear #HMSDuncan #RoyalNavy #LastAndBest

🎄 Merry Christmas from HMS DUNCAN 🎄 We’re lucky to be home this year — but remain at 24 hours’ notice to sail. Our thoughts are with all those already deployed or called away from loved ones today. Thank you for your service. #RoyalNavy #HMSDuncan #LastandBest

This year’s Royal Navy Christmas advert was filmed right here on HMS DUNCAN — with our own Ship’s Company, not actors. Real sailors showing what it means to serve. As we head into the festive season, we’re thinking of all those who may be called away over Christmas. #HMSDuncan

This #RemembranceDay, we’re proud that members of HMS Duncan’s ship’s company are representing the Royal Navy across the UK — from a Guard of Honour in Dundee to parades in their hometowns. We remember them. #LestWeForget #HMSDuncan #RoyalNavy Watercolour by @JasonGoldrick1

The flags are flying onboard DUNCAN—can you work out what they mean? 🧐 Naval signal flags have been used for centuries to send messages at sea—especially before modern comms. Today, we fly them for tradition, morale and a bit of fun. What’s your best guess?

Today we mark the anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar – a defining moment in our naval history. The values shown then – courage, leadership, determination – are the same we strive to live by now. From sail to steel, we remain ready to serve. #TrafalgarDay #HMSDuncan

A successful RAS (Replenishment at Sea) today with @RFATidesurge. Always a challenging and high-risk evolution—demanding precision, teamwork, and trust. Well done to the entire ship’s company for keeping it safe and professional. #HMSDuncan #RoyalNavy #SNMG1
