The Royal Navy's Type 45 destroyer HMS Duncan has been deployed to the Red Sea to relieve its sister ship, HMS Diamond. HMS Duncan, which departed from Portsmouth, will protect vital trade routes from attacks by Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. The warship is equipped to down missiles and drones. HMS Diamond has been safeguarding shipping lanes in the Red Sea from Houthi attacks since before Christmas.
