The fight continues on #TamberShield2024 💥 We’ve spent the week operating in the fjords conducting training sorties against a range of simulated threats in preparation for a multi-day free-play war serial. @DefenceOps @RNASYeovilton @Forsvaret_no @JEFnations
The sun sets on another great day of training in Ex Tamber Shield.
The hunter and the hunted! Our crews are working hard to avoid anti-air weapon systems in the Fjords. Aggressor Squadron from RAF Spadeadam are supporting #TamberShield2024 by emulating Man-Portable Air-Defence (MANPAD) systems. @RoyalAirForce @JEFnations @Forsvaret_no
Great day yesterday with @815NAS @HMSTrumpeter @HMS_Biter @HMSExploit out in the Fjords. What better way to start the week than hide and seek with MANPADs and Missiles. Obviously no real world damaged caused to anything except pride on both sides. Photo credit Theo Dodd
Starting the week off in style 🌊 Exercise #TamberShield24🛡️is underway and demonstrating our ability to work closely with @Forsvaret_no Wildcats from @815NAS support the formation of UK 🇬🇧 and Norwegian 🇳🇴 vessels. @RoyalNavy @JEFnations #JEFtogether

We’ve been looking forward to this sight ever since we left Portsmouth but that hasn’t made it any less rewarding
One of the rare moments where you can literally see the civvy’s paying thousands for this. The ships and their crews continue to push themselves as we head ever north
Apparently there’s a lack of supermarkets where we’re headed. RAS now complete.
The weathers finally had us so it’s a weekend in Trondheim before we continue our journey North. Turns out we’re fine with a moving deck but a slippy ones our downfall
If it was easy, everyone would do it. Both the Ship and her Crew performing admirably as things get colder. #smallshipsbigimpact
Great feeling yesterday to be waved off in Portsmouth. It’s easy to forget in these moments but a huge amount of effort from both teams and individuals goes into preparing for these deployments. Thanks to everyone for their support and yes, a bit bumpy out there yesterday… 🌊

Great day of training today with @HMS_Biter @HMSExploit and @HMSTrumpeter New toys were tested and a bit of training conducted. Coastal Forces Squadron is ready to deploy
Looks like the news is out! We’re very excited for what promises to be an amazing albeit challenging deployment and look forward to updating everyone as we go.

.@HMS_Biter, @hms_blazer, @HMSExploit and @HMSTrumpeter, the smallest ships in the fleet, are preparing to leave @HMNBPortsmouth at the beginning of February for a four-month mission – mostly in the fjords of Norway.
After an exciting and varied 18 months in command Lt Pierce Tattersall has handed over command to Lt Aaron Paul. We wish Lt Tattersall all the best in his future career and hope to bump into him again. #smallshipsbigimpact
Nice and shiny! @hms_blazer is completing her refit period (with new deck!) at @BerthonIntl and will be back to the #CoastalForcesSquadron materially ready for operations 🥶✨ #SmallShipSoontobeBigImpact
#CoastalForcesSquadron Commanding Officers joined the Second Sea Lord @MartinJConnell onboard HMS Victory this morning to commemorate the anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar. Nelson’s innovation, courage and leadership continue to inspire the next generation!
🎶it’s coming home ⚽️
Summer deployment complete and it’s good to be home @HMNBPortsmouth ! 17 port visits 🍻 1600 miles steamed ⚓️ Countless rainstorms 🌧️ Many many 🐬 Some great training achieved 🫡 @DevonUrnu @URNUBristol @URNUWales @URNUBirmingham

#TrafalgarDay is the most important day of HMS Victory - a few thousand highly-trained sailors under Admiral Lord Nelson delivered "a great and glorious victory". Today we salute their immortal memory and remember the admiral's sacrifice.
#CoastalForcesSquadron Commanding Officers joined the Second Sea Lord @MartinJConnell onboard HMS Victory this morning to commemorate the anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar. Nelson’s innovation, courage and leadership continue to inspire the next generation!
After 18 months in Command, Lt Ryan Price, hands over EXPRESS to Lt Harry Stubbington. National tasking, multiple deployments and countless visitors. None of it could have been done without every member of the ship’s company, past and present. Stay tuned for the next chapter.

PUNCHER's Crew join the wider Naval community in expressing our sadness to learn of Commander Hawkins passing. A stalwart of his branch and true gent. 5 Bells Bob 🔔
It is with great sadness to inform you that, HMS Caledonia - Commanding Officer and Chief of Staff for the Naval Regional HQ, Scotland and Northern Ireland, Commander Bob Hawkins RN MBE passed away over the weekend. Further details will be provided in due course.
HMS Pursuer is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of former Commanding Officer, Cdr Robert Hawkins MBE. Cdr Bob, was CO in 2011/12 & had always been an excellent mentor to all P2000 CO’s who followed on from him. Our thoughts are with his family during this difficult time.
@AlastairBruce_ @RNinScotland @RoyalNavy An absolute shock to all; Bob and I had the privilege of both Commanding @HMS_Pursuer 15yrs apart. He was a true legend in the @RoyalNavy. RIP shippers. 😥
Sad news that shipmate and teammate @Hawkins_Navy has crossed the bar. Bob dedicated his entire professional life to the Royal Navy. One of the Navy's true characters for five decades. Thoughts with Trudy and the whole family at this time. Rest easy oppo, your duty is done ⚓
Shocked to hear of the sudden passing of Cdr Robert Hawkins @Hawkins_Navy Served more than 50 years in the RN. Featured in HMS Brilliant TV documentary (1995) and in "Britain's Biggest Warship" (2018) while first lieutenant of @HMSQNLZ RIP Bob.
An important incoming first message from the Defence Secretary having paid his first visits to our Armed Forces 👇
People are the heart of our Armed Forces In the last week I’ve visited the @RoyalNavy, @BritishArmy and @RoyalAirForce - meeting personnel and giving them my steadfast commitment that as Defence Secretary I will support them and their families
Our @RoyalNavy is nothing without the sailors & submariners who dedicate their lives to protecting our island nation and keeping our allies safe. Today, I met some of those inspiring men & women at @HMNBPortsmouth to find out more about their experiences and vital work.
