HMS Dragon has dealt another blow to the funding of terrorism with her second major drugs bust in under a fortnight – this time seizing £1.6m of narcotics on the infamous ‘smack track’.

Re: RN Destroyers: Daring Class Type 45
Anybody seen this event (of 2010) reported or repeated in the forum(s)? or indeed any photographs of the damage caused by this 'shunt'? ... and might the tug actually be the Svitzer Sussex?

New warship HMS Daring damaged in collision with tug
8 September 2010
An inquiry is under way after the Royal Navy ship HMS Daring, said to be the most advanced warship in the world, was damaged in a collision.
The Portsmouth-based destroyer was being towed into Marchwood, on Southampton Water, when it was in collision with a tug on Tuesday.
An assessment of the ship, which was only commissioned into the Navy last year, is taking place.
The vessel was only declared ready for action earlier this month.
Since arriving at its home base last year, the ship has had months of intensive sea trials.

HMS Daring damaged after colliding with tug
HMS Daring, tThe Royal Navy's brand new destroyer, has been damaged after crashing into a tug on her way into port.
10:28AM BST 09 Sep 2010
The Type 45 destroyer - hailed by the navy as the most advanced warship in the world - was returning from routine operations when the collision happened.
She struck the civilian vessel Switzer Sussex on her way into Marchwood, on Southampton Water in Hampshire.
It is believed the tug lost power to its engines as it was about to start towing the 7,500 tonne Portsmouth-based ship into Marchwood. As the warship approached, it was therefore unable to move out of the way.
An inquiry has been launched and the precise extent of the damage to HMS Daring has yet to be established.
A Royal Navy spokesman said: "The damage at the moment is still being assessed, and we won't have any further information until that assessment is completed.
"We know the Switzer Sussex was assisting in a routine berthing operation, when it collided with HMS Daring.
"But it is too early to say at present exactly why that collision occurred, and we do not want to pre-empt the outcome of the inquiry that is currently under way."
He added that the results of the investigation would not be known for several days.
The navy said the MoD would be working closely with the Royal Navy to find out exactly what went wrong.
HMS Daring is the first of the navy's new Type 45 Class of air defence destroyer, and was commissioned into the navy only last year.
She was declared ready for action earlier this month after extensive sea trials.
The MP for Portsmouth South, Mike Hancock, said the incident just added to the navy's astonishing run of bad luck in recent years.
He said it was important the navy got to the bottom of the cause of the accident.
"Add this to the problems suffered by HMS Nottingham and HMS Endurance and it has just been a sheer run of bad luck for the navy," said Mr Hancock.
"It will be interesting to see how much damage was actually caused, and who ends up picking up the bill for it.
"But every time something like this happens there are always different causes."
Mr Hancock added: "The problem is we still haven't got to the bottom of some of these other incidents, and I'm not sure the full truth ever comes out in situations like this."
The vessel was only declared ready for action earlier this month.
Since arriving at its home base last year, the ship has had months of intensive sea trials.
