This is a @NATO #CarrierStrike Group with a 🇬🇧 heartbeat.

Suspicious aircraft spotted at range by @HMSDefender, and intercepted by our #F35Bs.
Meanwhile @hms_kent tracked a suspect submarine whilst @HNLMS_Evertsen kept the surface watch.
On, under and over the water - we are securing the area⚓️

Good Morning 👋
Some nice views outside Flying Control to start your #SundayMorning.
We are giving 'the enemy' a rest today during #JW202 as we conduct a no-fly day to give the upper deck and the largest deployed #5thGen Air Group some maintenance.

#MondayMotivation in abundance as we fly into the last week of #JW202.
The potent mix of sustained land, sea and air domination projected by the 🇬🇧 led @NATO #CarrierStrike Group means victory is near.

"Now I am satisfied, thank God I have done my duty".
215 years ago, outnumbered; an unconventional and decisive leader led experienced, well trained @RoyalNavy crews to one of the greatest Naval victories.
To the immortal memory 🇬🇧⚓

"We embarked the largest air group of 5th generation fighters ever put to sea – finally silencing those who harp on about ‘carriers without jets’ ... We accomplished what many doubted possible by forming a sovereign British strike group". @smrmoorhouse

Today also marks the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Taranto.
It was the first all-aircraft ship-to-ship naval attack in history, employing 21 Swordfish bombers from HMS Illustrious.
"... in the Fleet Air Arm the Navy has its most devastating weapon".

Well of course, one of our countdown days had to be dedicated to the #F35.
Even after 3 years, the presence, noise and operation of them are still spine tingling.
Sit back, turn up the volume and enjoy the 2020 maritime lightning show ⚡⚓.
