Today is #NationalDogDay. Any excuse to share our favourite picture of Duke! #RMfamily

First time operating with a helo today as the ship continues Operational Sea Training 👍 🚁 @FOST @RoyalNavy #FightingB2s #ForwardTogether

A great evening for #Astro #Navigation 💫 Although we don’t usually navigate by the stars ⭐️ it’s important to learn the traditional skills of a #mariner just in case our #tech fails....and in weather like this it’s the perfect excuse to be on deck just as the sun sets. 🌊🚢🇬🇧

Seems the junior service followed up our strategic visit to #NewYork #USA by bringing some decorational aircraft. Banter aside, awesome display 👌 Banter re-engaged: ❤ for #FlyNavy 💬 for #FlyRAF @RoyalNavy @RoyalAirForce

Thank you Malta 🇲🇹 for a great visit @UKinMalta

Good morning Douglas. All of us in the Mighty MERSEY are very pleased to have the opportunity to @visitisleofman. We look forward to hosting some special guests on behalf of @CdrePWaterhouse and the @RoyalNavy while we’re here and also helping out with the @ManxGrandPrix too! 🇬🇧

Don’t stop #TeamDefender now...

Very True.

Congratulations to those commissioning today. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Delighted to visit @NWASCC summer camp yesterday. Cadets really enjoying themselves and keen to be picking up qualifications and skills. Unfortunately I now appear to have lost my voice!! @SeaCadetsUK

Welcome home @HMS_Forth to carry out two high profile tasks; to help support the REMT and NRC SNI HQ Team for the @EdinburghTattoo and of course celebrate your Affiliation with Forth, Stirling. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⚓️@RNinScotland twitter.com/hms_forth/stat…

Fair winds and following seas to @hms_kent and @HMSDefender who both deploy today from @HMNBPortsmouth to maintain the UK’s global presence and, as we say in the Naval Prayer, be “a security for such as pass on the seas upon their lawful occasions” #ProtectingOurNationsInterests

Farewell to our families. Stay safe, we’ll see you all again soon. #Family

On the horizon is @HMSDefender. we’ve got this, we’ll lead the way 👀

Thank you, to all our friends and families who made the trip to see us off. #OneFamily #Invicta

Excuse the camera angle from the 30mm deck... in a bit Portsmouth.

Following a short stop in the UAE 🇦🇪 to rest the Crew and replenish stores; #HMSMontrose is back at sea and ready to escort British merchant shipping in the #StraitofHormuz. She joins @HMSDuncan who has remained on task throughout.

Another evening afloat on the water. Great opportunity to undertake Coxswain and other rowing assessments.

Crane, riggers and tugs can only mean one thing; we’re sailing!
