First Sea Lord Admiral Sir Tony Radakin has said, "I am delighted to welcome honorary Commander Daniel Craig to the Royal Navy. Our honorary officers act as ambassadors and advocates for the Service, sharing their time and expertise to spread the message about what our global, modern, and ready Royal Navy is doing around the world. Daniel Craig is well known for being Commander Bond for the last fifteen years - a Naval officer who keeps Britain safe through missions across the globe."

"That's what the real Royal Navy does every day, using technology and skill the same way as Bond himself. I look forward to him getting to see more of our sailors and marines over the coming months and years."

The Royal Navy became part of the latest Bond installment, No Time To Die. The warship HMS Dragon was featured in the trailer and The Ministry of Defence helped play a role in the production of the upcoming film.

No Time To Die is scheduled to premiere on October 8th.
