Since her commissioning in 2009, HMS Daring has spent more time out of service than in it. HMS Daring (D32), the first of the Royal Navy’s six Daring-class Type 45 destroyers, is finally set to return to service later this year—after spending nine years undergoing a refit, nearly three times as long as it took to build the warship in the first place. After being out of service for more than 3,300 days, the Royal Navy announced this month that HMS Daring would finally return to the fleet this year. The warship, which only entered service in 2009, has spent more than half of her service life sidelined.
