人群聚集欢迎“龙”号驱逐舰返航，此前它前往东地中海已有七个月。
Crowds gathered to welcome HMS Dragon home after it left for the eastern Mediterranean seven months ago.
“龙”号驱逐舰于2026年3月10日启程，加入英国在该地区的防御行动。
HMS Dragon begun its journey to join the UK's defensive operations in the region on March 10, 2026.
这艘45型驱逐舰于3月离开朴茨茅斯船坞，此前刚完成维护，抵达时是英国在该地区的首艘、也是唯一一艘军舰。
The Type 45 destroyer left the dock in Portsmouth in March having only recently come out of maintenance, and was the UK's first and only warship in the region when it arrived.
BBC在朴茨茅斯码头采访了家属、朋友和船员，记录他们与亲人团聚的场景。
The BBC spoke to family, friends and the crew at the dock in Portsmouth as they were reunited with their loved ones.
皇家海军当时表示，“龙”号3月离开朴茨茅斯时装备了“海毒蛇”导弹，并由第815海军航空中队的“野猫”直升机提供支援，该直升机配备可击落空中无人机的“云雀”导弹。
When HMS Dragon left Portsmouth in March, it was armed with Sea Viper missiles and was assisted by Wildcat helicopters from the 815 Naval Air Squadron equipped with Martlet missiles capable of taking out aerial drones, the Royal Navy said at the time.
家属和朋友在启航时聚集，周五返航时出现类似场景，许多人挥舞英国国旗、手持横幅。
Family and friends gathered as the ship set sail, and on Friday there were similar scenes as it returned, with many waving Union flags and holding banners.
“龙”号的主要任务是保护阿克罗蒂里皇家空军基地，该基地3月初遭伊朗制造的无人机袭击。据称袭击仅对基地一座机库造成“轻微损坏”。
HMS Dragon's primary role was protecting RAF Akrotiri, which was hit with an Iranian-made drone in early March.
国防大臣约翰·希利那周告诉下议院，该无人机来自黎巴嫩或伊拉克。
The strike was said to have caused "minimal damage" to a hangar on the base. Defence Secretary John Healey told the House of Commons that week that the drone had come from Lebanon or Iraq.
“我的全体官兵不知疲倦地工作，确保我们已准备好执行东地中海任务，”该舰指挥官伊恩·吉芬中校当时在声明中说。
"My ship's company have worked tirelessly to ensure we are ready for our mission to the eastern Mediterranean," the ship's commanding officer Cdr Iain Giffin said in a statement at the time.
希利赞扬皇家海军为“龙”号部署所做的努力，称：“原本需要六周的工作仅用六天就完成了——这是全天候投入的非凡努力，展现了英国的最佳风采。”
Healey praised the efforts of the Royal Navy in preparing HMS Dragon for deployment, saying: "What is normally six weeks of work was completed in just six days - a remarkable effort delivered round the clock. The very best of Britain in action."
