Naval News – The UK Royal Navy (RN) Type 45 air-defence destroyer HMS Dragon has integrated into the French Navy’s FS Charles de Gaulle carrier strike group (CSG), as the CSG operates in the Gulf of Aden/Horn of Africa region. Both the CSG and Dragon have deployed to the region to provide pre-positioned capability, should regional security conditions potentially permit international efforts to re-open the Strait of Hormuz and secure freedom of navigation, following the recent US/Israel versus Iran war.
