The culmination of Ex Pacific Crown, #CSG21 operating together with JSDF. Demonstrating our shared resolve, deepening cooperation and enhancing the interoperability between our forces @UKinJapan @jointstaffpa @JMSDF_PAO @JMSDF_SDF @JASDF_PAO @RoyalNavy @RoyalAirForce 🇬🇧🇯🇵

英国の空母打撃群 #CSG21 は、ルソン海峡を通過し、西太平洋に入りました。
日本をはじめとするこの地域のパートナーと協力して、海上の安全と、陸上の安定と繁栄を促進できることを期待しています。🇬🇧🇯🇵

The pictures you’ve all been waiting for have arrived…
Building one aircraft carrier is a sign of national ambition.
But building TWO – and operating them simultaneously – is a sign of serious national intent. #CarrierStrike

The #CSG21 is taking part in EX Noble Union, which sees Japan, US and CSG21 integrated and operating together. Supporting interoperability with like minded nations. Another demonstration of the flexibility of UK carrier strike.

“Get up to anything exciting on Saturday?”
“Oh nothing much, just reversed parked a 65,000T aircraft carrier”

“There must be a beginning of any great matter, but the continuing unto the end until it be thoroughly finished yields the true glory.”
We shall return.

The Suez Canal never fails to impress – but the first passage of a Queen Elizabeth Class carrier is quite a moment.
Phase 2 has begun. #CSG21

英国空母打撃群が @JMSDF_PAO の護衛艦「せとぎり」とアデン湾で演習を行いました。日英が共有する安全と繁栄のために、海上における法の支配は最も重要です。インド太平洋到着時には、海上自衛隊との共同訓練に期待しています。 #CSG21 🇬🇧🇯🇵

Welcome to all my new followers.
Here’s a glimpse of what lies in store over the coming weeks and months. #CSG21

“Understand your role, your duty, do it to the best of your ability, and trust those around you to do the same”.
Tonight we sail for #CSG21. Here’s my signal to the sailors, aviators and marines of the United Kingdom Carrier Strike Group.

Three words:
Strategic Maritime Power.
#CSG21 🇬🇧🇳🇱🇺🇸

Two of the world’s great aircraft carriers meet. Charles De Gaulle and HMS Queen Elizabeth. #CSG21 #CarrierStrike 🇬🇧🇫🇷
17
The Carrier Strike Group has passed through the Luzon Strait and entered the Philippine Sea.
This is a significant moment for #CSG21.
Having begun our deployment in the Eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean, we have now travelled 10,000 miles to the Western Pacific.

After a series of port visits, the UK Carrier Strike Group has reformed to resume our programme in the Mediterranean. #CSG21
Ready to operate at sea, in the air, over the land and under the waves...

“It is better to be here ready to protect the peace, than to take blind shelter across the sea, rushing to respond only after freedom is lost.”

After a challenging week for #CSG21 it is great to see the flight deck of @HMSQNLZ busy operating F-35B jets from the @USMC and @OC617Sqn again. @RoyalNavy @RoyalAirForce

Welcoming the Prime Minister today. Carriers may be operated by navies, but they are instruments of national strategic power. #CSG21 will work across Government to deliver security, diplomacy and prosperity on behalf of #GlobalBritain.
23
The #CSG21 task group welcomes @HMCSWinnipeg. The @RoyalNavy and @RoyalCanNavy have a long and rich history of operating together and this is just another example of the international by design nature of #CSG21. #CSG21 joined ships from the @JMSDF_PAO for EX PACIFIC CROWN
24
Italy becomes the 3rd nation to land F-35B on the deck of @HMSQNLZ . A telling demonstration of the UK’s Flagship’s interoperability with other nations. The fact that US, Italian & UK F-35B are able to fly off another’s deck offers tactical agility & strategic advantage to NATO

Some good coverage of Strike Group operations against Daesh in the media today.
This is what we offer. Fifth generation combat power ready to go – hour after hour, day or night. #DefeatDeash #CarrierStrike #CSG21
