A little different to our usual home on the Forth! The rugged Norwegian landscape makes for excellent navigational practice! ๐๏ธ #CoastalForcesSquadron
During recent manoeuvre drills @HMS_Smiter caught this shot of us as we came in to close! We are looking forward to working again with @Forsvaret_no in just a few weeks ๐ stay tuned!
Can you spot the ships under the snow ๐โ๏ธ
Another great day enhancing our cold weather skills and drills, operating with @Forsvaret_no@JEFnations#JointViking23
First came the snow โ๏ธ. Today, Lightning โก๏ธโก๏ธ struck Coastal Forces Sqn. As we exercised with @hms_albion and @JEFnations partners, we got our first interaction with @NATO F35 Strike Fighters.
Meet the newest member of the team!
After a busy day of operations on #JointViking23 we found something to do with the snow weโd cleared out of the way โ๏ธ
Any name suggestions?

A pleasure to host @CdreMelRobinson onboard TRUMPETER yesterday to allow her to fly her pennant at sea. We also hosted Baroness Sater to show her the capabilities of #CFS and the P2000s. #MakingDreamsComeTrueOnboardaP2@HMSPresidentRNR @CdrRSkelton
