Pleasure hosting @COM_SNMG1 during NATO's anti-submarine warfare ex #DynamicMongoose.
UKCSG and SNMG1 prove multinational cooperation is our ultimate strength. Nine allies side-by-side with air, surface and subsurface assets.
NATO deterrence in action.

It’s been 25 years since Commodore Blackmore ejected from his Harrier jet after an emergency. This week he met the maintainers, armourers, and engineers keeping today’s generation of F-35B pilots safe and to recognise their incredible contribution to #OpHighmast.
