Co-operation between 🇺🇸 U.S. Navy and 🇬🇧Royal Navy has never been more important. Whilst in theatre we are always humbled by the hospitality of our allies when possible. Some of our Ship’s Company enjoyed US hospitality on board USS Indianapolis🤝 #SpecialRelationship

At sea we have no external support to fight fires on board👩‍🚒 We must constantly maintain high skill levels amongst all Ship’s Company in all potential scenario💪 Today we simulated a Main Engine Room Fire with multiple casualties to put those skills to the test. #AlwaysReady

It's a pleasure to recognise the hard work our ME team put in while on HMS Hurworth and HMS Chiddingfold 💪 Thanks Royal Navy & Royal Marines Charity for the support and for recognising the entire ME department's commitment to returning our Ship back to full operational capability⚓️ #Stokers #OpKIPION

Working in company with our fellow @royalnavy vessels is always a pleasure!! It is a brilliant opportunity to exercise navigation🗺️ and communications📻 skills to make for not only a wonderful looking serial, but one which tests everyone involved. #CoordinatedDeparture #MCM2
