Commander UK Mine Countermeasures Force

Putting on a show. We thought as we are missing the #BournemouthAirFestival, why not do our own from @RFACardiganBay with @HMSArgyll’s Wildcat? @RoyalNavy #flynavy

On this, the 75th Anniversary of VJ Day, we say to all of those that served in the Far East, thank you. #VJ75 #thankyou #VJDay75

To the Chief Commandant of the Women's Royal Naval Service from COMUKMCMFOR: happy birthday and many happy returns to HRH the Princess Royal! To celebrate, here are some of our inspirational women of the @RoyalNavy. #TopWRNS

Don’t you, forget about me. @HMSLedbury and @HMSBlyth meet up with @HMSShoreham and @HMSBrocklesby while on their way home, to have one final family photograph. @RoyalNavy #family

We hate saying goodbye. @HMSLedbury and @HMSBlyth leave #Bahrain one last time as they end their 3 year mission delivering 24/7 365 mine counter measures capability in the region and begin their journey back to the #UK. Fair winds and following seas. @RoyalNavy #solongfarewell

Who said we got rid of rum rations? The daily ration of rum may have been abolished 50 years ago today, but we still enjoy the occasional toast. @RoyalNavy @Pussers #drinkresponsibly

Leading the way. COMUKMCMFOR, Commander Talbot, and his Chief of Staff Lieutenant Commander Cooper, receive the @RoyalNavy Sea Command and Principle Warfare Officer badges in #Recognition of their respective career achievements.

Today marks 85 years since the last @RoyalNavy ship was sunk in #WW2. HMS VESTAL was a minesweeper attacked off the coast of Phuket, Thailand. Events like this help us to remember the sacrifices of those in the MCM community that have come before us. #VJDay (Image @I_W_M)

The U.K. Mine Countermeasures Force would like to wish each and every single member of HM Armed Forces deployed around the globe a happy and safe Armed Forces Day 2020. 🇬🇧 #AFD20 #ArmedForcesDay @RoyalNavy

Following in your father’s footsteps. Taken quite literally by some of the @RoyalNavy personnel deployed in the Middle East. We wish all father figures a happy Father’s Day and a massive thank you for supporting us while we are away. #FathersDay #FD20

Dare to dream. Let’s raise £4000 for the Amelia Mae Foundation and @RNRMC. Donate via justgiving at bit.ly/3cX5mFz to support @AmeliaMaeDavies #charity #challenge #triathlon #fitness #goals

Taking care of business. Practising the removal of underwater threats to merchant traffic is crucial to ensuring we are ready to protect the free flow of commerce. @RoyalNavy

Her looks can be deceiving. Happy birthday to the longest serving ship in the @RoyalNavy! 39 years after commissioning, @HMSLedbury is as busy as she has ever been, on mine countermeasure duties in the Arabian Gulf. #happybirthday #cake #wrinkles

And we are off! Royal Navy Mine Countermeasures Vessel using its ‘SEAFOX’ system to investigate possible underwater threat while on Exercise @RoyalNavy

Everyone loves hide and seek. As it happens, a picture from @HMSBROCKLESBY lowering a drill mine for their counterparts to try and find. @RoyalNavy #hideandseek

You have the Con. Only a week after taking Command and Commander Talbot and his team are already a few days into their first exercise as COMUKMCMFOR. A huge BZ to Commander Griffiths and his staff for a successful 6 months. @RoyalNavy #GoodLuck

Cat by name, cat by nature The Wildcat crew embarked on @HMS_MONTROSE is ready to pounce night or day, to protect our national interests. They are currently supporting our US/UK Mine Counter Measures Exercise in the Gulf @815NAS #wildcat #maritimesecurity #flynavy @RoyalNavy

It takes all kinds of vessels to make a successful harbour departure happen. @RoyalNavy is always grateful to work with our friends in the @US5thFleet who accompanied @HmsShoreham and @HmsBrocklesby in preparation for our Joint Mine Counter Measures Exercise #maritimesecurity

And we’re off! @HmsBrocklesby set sail this morning to join other ships already deployed for this month’s US/UK Joint Mine Counter Measures Exercise in the Gulf #together #maritimesecurity @RoyalNavy @US5thFleet #coalition

This week, @HmsShoreham conducted whole ship training in preparation for our exciting upcoming US/UK Joint Mine Counter Measures Exercise in the Gulf. “Fire Fighter, fight the fire!” #preparation #practice #firefighting #maritimesecurity @RoyalNavy @US5thFleet #coalition
