Description: A Royal Navy officer hugs his daughter on return from a long deployment abroad. The Portsmouth based minehunter HMS Chiddingfold has returned home from the Arabian Gulf where she spent three years on security patrols.

The vessel operated out of Bahrain as part of the UK’s commitment to maintain a mine countermeasures presence in the region.

As well as conducting security operations, HMS Chiddingfold carried out regular training with the UK’s regional partners and coalition nations. Her crew of 45 changed approximately every six months – the last taking over in January.
