Nearly three years in charge of HMS Daring<\/em> came to an end on a Bahrain beach on the back of a camel for Cdr. Phil Dennis. Rather than a sports car or vintage vehicle to whisk him away from his ship for a traditional send-off, his ship\u2019s company arranged for a camel to carry the officer away.<\/p>\n

The Type 45 destroyer is at the end of her mid-deployment break, when essential maintenance is carried out to ensure the ship can continue air defence operations in the Middle East into the summer.<\/p>\n

The ship\u2019s company and team at ASRY \u2013 the Arab Shipbuilding and Repair Yard \u2013 where the work was carried out on the Portsmouth-based warship, decided a send-off with a desert theme would be just the ticket for Cdr. Dennis, who took the helm of Daring <\/em>in May 2014.<\/p>\n

So after a clear lower deck to address the 200 men and women under his wing, Cdr. Dennis found the dromedary waiting for him. \u201cIt has been my privilege to have been the captain of HMS Daring<\/em> for well over two and a half years,\u201d Cdr. Dennis said. \u201cI hope that you are as proud of your efforts as I am of you.”<\/p>\n

The ship\u2019s company formed a \u201cgauntlet of honour\u201d on the beach just outside the ASRY works, applauding Cdr. Dennis as his camel was guided along the sand by an experienced local handler.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Cdr. Marcus Hember, who has previously been in charge of Daring\u2019s<\/em> younger sister HMS Diamond<\/em>, is now in charge of D32, where \u2013 so the unofficial slogan goes \u2013 \u201cdreams come true.\u201d<\/p>\n
