Hide AdCommanding officer Captain Robert Pedre said: ‘My ship’s company and I are very much looking forward to our visit to Portsmouth.
‘It is fitting that the fleet flagship should have this opportunity to bid farewell to the city before decommissioning; a visit that is all the more poignant for the many members of my ship’s company that are privileged to call this historic naval city home.’
Tallied up, the ship has spent 11 of the last 16 months deployed on operations overseas and covered almost 50,000 miles.
