(asked on 23rd November 2016) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether there have been any Type 45 destroyers that have had to be under tow since August 2016.
This question was answered on 28th November 2016
HMS DUNCAN experienced a technical issue and returned to Her Majesty's Naval Base Devonport under her own power to conduct an assessment. As is standard practice tug boats were in attendance to assist with pilotage and berthing. HMS DUNCAN returned to operations on Friday 25 November 2016.
Other than for routine navigational assistance no Type 45 Destroyer has been under tow since August 2016.
