Today and tomorrow will see sailors and marines leave family homes where most will not return for months.
You won't notice them, no fanfare or outpouring of emotion will attract your attention.
It is what it is, and we do what we do.

A year ago today we entered our Homeport @HMNBPortsmouth for the first time.
With not much notice, Pompey and 🇬🇧 still managed to fill the Round Tower, Southsea Seafront and the water to set the benchmark for 50 years of homecomings; and what a sight it was.
