But what is the best way to see them to really appreciate them? You can see many of them from land, but the best way to see them is by taking part in a harbour tour where the crew can take you on a wonderful, and informative journey, around the harbour.
Regular tours leave Portsmouth's Historic Dockyard giving visitors the chance to get up close to the modern Royal Navy in a way few ever get to experience, spotting the modern frigates, destroyers, and aircraft carriers that call Portsmouth their home. As you sail past the Harbour Tour’s Captain will talk you through each of the ships currently in dock, as well stories from Portsmouth Historic Dockyard’s past and present.
