The UK warship, HMS Dragon, has set sail from Portsmouth Naval Base for the Eastern Mediterranean, as the conflict in the Middle East continues.
The Royal Navy destroyer, which has been loaded with ammunition, will be used to protect British base, RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus, after it was hit by a drone.
The 200-strong crew can be seen standing onboard the Type-45 Destroyer as the ship passes the naval base.
Around 100 people could be seen waving the ship and her crew off from the dock.
