"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 🇬🇧⚓

What a beautiful morning for our entry. It’s hard to believe just weeks ago we were flying #UKF35 from these decks for the very first time. Home is in clear view 👀 #WESTLANT19

Here are some photos from our arrival into Japan. 📷 🇯🇵
We were welcomed into #Yokosuka by @JMSDF_PAO JS Ise, JS Onami + JCG Asitaka, and our sailors lined the decks in ceremonial display as the ship's band played! 🎶🎺

Cdr Nathan Gray RN touched fast jet wheels onto a @RoyalNavy flight deck for the first time in just under 8 years. We have since been flying daily introducing the @thef35 to 4.5-acres of floating Sovereign power🇬🇧

🌂's team?
Sometimes our flight deck crews get a suntan ☀️, other times, well, slightly wet 🌊.
With our final #UKF35🇬🇧 landing today, they now have 1️⃣5️⃣ fast jets and 8️⃣ helicopters to manage and manoeuvre.
