Royal Navy warship HMS Dragon has fired a 17-gun salute to hail the First Sea Lord’s presence in Portsmouth.
The Type 45 destroyer roared into her home port as she returned from a series of exercises off the South West coast and off the coast of Scotland.
The number of guns fired designates the seniority of the recipient – in this case Admiral Sir Philip Jones, the Head of the Royal Navy. Her Majesty the Queen would receive 19.
Wait, wouldn't the Queen recieve 21-gun salute, not 19?SKB wrote:
