Official account for HMS Dasher, one of 14 P2000s in the @RoyalNavy’s Coastal Forces Squadron. Supporting maritime security and training at home and abroad.
We are back with a bang!
Our annual maintenance period is now complete and we are straight back out on the water delivering important tasking. We are supporting the Royal Navy’s transition into a #hybridnavy
The excitement continues…
This week we have been in London to welcome onboard Defence and Nuclear staff from the @cabinetofficeuk.
@TowerBridge also treated us to a bridge lift.
We have returned back to the UK after 10 weeks supporting the @JEFnations - led activity, TARASSIS.
It’s been an epic deployment, here’s a few highlights.

EASTERN SEA begins phase two of TARASSIS activities. @RoyalNavy P2000 patrol boats will work alongside their Latvian colleagues, operating Skrunda Class patrol vessels, protecting crucial harbour facilities 🇬🇧🇱🇻
#JEFtogether#TARASSIS
EX EASTERN SEA, part of the TARASSIS series of activities, brings together maritime forces from Latvia, Sweden and other JEF nations, including the UK’s Coastal Forces Squadron, for ASW and security cooperation in the Baltic Sea region.
Now entering the harbour protection phase⚓️
Following seas doesn’t always mean it’s comfortable sailing, sure does make us go faster though!
One hand for yourself and one hand for the ship.

Final pilotage out of Warnemunde this morning for a while.
We have now conducted more pilotages out of Warnemunde this year than we have out of our base port, HMNB Portsmouth. Goes to show how busy the mighty Dasher is this year.
