HMS Dauntless is a Type 45 or Daring-class air-defence destroyer. She was launched at Govan shipyard in January 2007, was handed over to the Royal Navy on December 3, 2009 and was commissioned on June 3, 2010.

In this selection you will see some great images from Navy Days from the past, a marriage proposal, an inspection of the parade by Lady Mary Burnell-Nugent, some of those special home coming moments and her Commissioning Ceremony

HMS Dauntless - the second of six new formidable air defence warships - was handed over to the Ministry Of Defence at a ceremony in Portsmouth today. HMS Dauntless was launched from BAE Systems’ Govan shipyard in Glasgow on January 23 2007. After extensive sea trials she made her first entry into her home port of Portsmouth yesterday (December 2). She follows HMS Daring – the Royal Navy’s first Type 45 destroyer – which arrived in Portsmouth in January this year.
