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⚓️

Happy Father's Day from HMS Queen Elizabeth.
It's your day - we're here to say thanks to all the fathers back home with children on board, and to all the fathers who are sailing with us.
Though we are far away, we think about you every day.

#BlueMonday, is it a thing?
Indeed January is slow, grey and wet.... replace January with #F35 though, and you get the below 🎥 which is so much better!
NB: Video slowed from original ⚡speed 😉

#OST20, the final push.

Welcome to #CarrierStrike @RFAFortVictoria.
As a solid support Ship, she will enable the UK and @NATO Carrier Strike Group to go further, for longer - and hopefully keep morale high with biscuits. 😉 🍪

The busiest week of the year begins!
So much going on to get #BritainsBiggestWarship to sea for #Westlant18 and to achieve the aim of #F35ondeck
But in true Navy tradition; approximately 40,000 onions 😂
⚡️ is getting real!

Meet #F35 and #Lightning two baby ‘carrier’ pigeons found in one of the boat bays after we sailed. After some TLC and a tour of the Ship, they were dispatched safely to @RNASYeovilton to be handed to the @RSPCA_official Some story to tell when they get back! #Westlant18

Operation ZZ
100 years ago saw the biggest gathering of Warships; HMS QUEEN ELIZABETH was at the centre as Flagship when the German Fleet surrendered.
“It marked the final and ignoble abandonment of a vainglorious challenge to the Naval Supremacy of Britain“.

Brilliant to have @RFATidespring as part of the #Westlant18 task group.
There are now over 150,000 tonnes of British Naval power in the Eastern seaboard.
A true sign of #GlobalBritain🇬🇧
