Lord Mayor’s Blog 11
Last week we had the opportunity to visit HMS Daring on the occasion of the commissioning of this highly advanced ant-air warfare destroyer. The type 45 is a world leader and the City of Birmingham is proud to have a close association with HMS Daring as one of our links with the Royal Navy.
As well as the ceremony itself and a guided tour of the ship, we had the pleasure of meeting crew members from Birmingham and getting to know more of their role and the wide range of capabilities of the Destroyer itself.
Daring is a futuristic-looking surface warship designed to meet defence needs for the next 30 years. This is not so much a case of the projection of force, but rather of being a force for good in UK defence that also includes a capability for non-combatant evacuation operations.

I’m very proud of the City’s association with HMS Daring and am looking forward to the freedom parade in September.
