Types of Ship

SubmarinesUnseen and unheard, the Royal Navy's submarine force can strike against ships and submarines, as well as supporting land operations against targets up to 1000 miles away with pinpoint accuracy.

Aircraft CarriersAllow aircraft to fly into areas

without needing to have an airbase; bring helicopters in to support amphibious landings and enable senior officers to conduct operations and control several vessels without going ashore.

FrigatesCan operate anywhere in the world,

supplying boarding teams inserted from the ship’s boats or helicopter, disaster relief work and surveillance operations.

DestroyersAre equipped with the Sea Dart medium-range air defence missile system, which in its primary role is designed to provide area air defence to a group of ships.

Mine CountermeasureThe task of keeping ports and

coastal shipping lanes free from the threat of mining is an essential

part of successful maritime operations.

Royal Fleet AuxiliarySupplies RN warships with fuel,

food, stores and ammunition which they need to remain operational while at sea. It also provides amphibious support and secure sea transport for Army units and their equipment.
