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.

The pictures you’ve all been waiting for have arrived…

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

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.

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

“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.
