Royal Navy’s Type 45 Destroyer Passes through Suez Canal for First Time Ever
This transit marks the first time the stealthy silhouette of a Type 45 has been seen gliding through this sea highway.
The canal is 120 miles (193km) long, 205 metres wide, and provides a much shorter route for ships transiting from the Mediterranean to the Red Sea.
The alternative route around Africa and the Cape of Good Hope is significantly longer.
The transit is a key milestone in the life of HMS Daring and her first deployment of 2012.
The passage now means that Daring has officially entered her area of operations, another first for a Type 45.
