Abstract: In 2015 HMS DUNCAN was chosen as the intervention ship for an Institute of Naval Medicine (INM)-led project entitled Second Sea Lord (2SL)’s Feeding the Fleet Initiative. During her nine-month maiden deployment on Operation KIPION, a healthy lifestyle intervention was initiated, encompassing executive health, catering services, medical services and physical training.
