HMS Daring's Potential Return to Local Waters

HMS Daring may be seen on local waters again next year, according to Commander Graeme Hazelwood, the new commanding officer of the Guernsey-affiliated Royal Navy ship.

Commander Hazelwood, a naval officer with almost two decades of experience, took control of the Type 45 destroyer vessel in July. He visited the island to reaffirm the vessel's commitment to the Bailiwick.

The ship last visited Guernsey in 2016 and has since undergone significant work. It is set to sail again next year, with a potential visit to Guernsey being a high priority.

Everybody's really focused on making that happen

During his visit, Commander Hazelwood met with Lt-Governor Sir Richard Cripwell and Bailiff Sir Richard McMahon.
