The print captures the triumphant return of HMS Defender to her home port of Portsmouth after an arduous deployment in the Middle East. The Type 45 destroyer had spent over six months engaged in high-intensity operations in the Northern Gulf, showcasing her formidable capabilities. During her deployment, HMS Defender played a crucial role in supporting the US-led Carrier Task Group and their F18s as they conducted strikes against ISIL. This collaboration demonstrated the unwavering commitment of both nations to combatting terrorism and ensuring regional stability. As she sailed into Portsmouth harbor, hundreds of friends and family eagerly awaited the ship's arrival, eager to welcome back their loved ones who served on board. The atmosphere was filled with anticipation and joy as emotions ran high among those gathered onshore. Adding to this heartwarming scene were performances by the talented Portsmouth Military Wives Choir and the Band of Her Majesty's Royal Marines.
