One of the UK’s newest Destroyers is coming to Greenwich later this month, and they are letting people on for tours.

HMS Defender completed her first sea trials in late 2011, and was commissioned during March 2013, so she is just over a year old.

Powered by an innovative high voltage Integrated Electrical Propulsion system, which generates enough power to supply the financial and political centres of London, which could be useful if Holborn catches fire again and cuts off the power to the area.

On 25 and 26 April 2015, HMS Defender will open to the public for free tours.

The ship visit will be strictly for ticket holders only — and you can request a free ticket here.

Visitors will need to enter a security screening area at the Old Royal Naval College before a free boat transfer from Greenwich Pier to the Destroyer.

The visit will last approximately 90 minutes.

Remember, its an operational warship and as such all visitors must be able to move around her without assistance. The ship has steep ladders and hatches, and is therefore unsuitable for those with limited mobility.

Photography will be permitted onboard in certain areas. Your onboard hosts will advise when photos should not be taken.
