Whilst our involvement in #SteadfastDefender24 has come to an end, the largest NATO exercise in decades continues.
Here are some of the highlights from the last 7 weeks captured by our photographers onboard HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Portland.
Our Aircraft Handlers are on deck everyday, whatever the weather… could you do it?

The true scale of #SteadfastDefender24 on show.
The different maritime task groups from the largest NATO exercise in decades assemble, with the Carrier Strike Group and HMS Prince of Wales leading the way across the Arctic seas.

Controlling the underwater environment is vital to the success of our mission.
The #SteadfastDefender24 Carrier Strike Group has been exercising with a Marine nationale submarine, testing responses to underwater threats & our ability to protect HMS Prince of Wales no matter the adversary.
Happy Commonwealth Day!

A pleasure to host Rear Admiral David Patchell onboard HMS Prince of Wales.
As Commander of NATO Combined Task Force (North) and Deputy Commander of U.S. 2nd Fleet, the Carrier Strike Group have been working closely with his team for #SteadfastDefender24 .

The next maritime phase of #SteadfastDefender24 begins.
Our OC 617 Squadron F-35B jets are now exercising in the Arctic skies over Norway, launching from HMS Prince of Wales on the coast to simulate defending the territory of our allies inland.
An awe-inspiring Arctic scene for the #SteadfastDefender24 Carrier Strike Group.
Whilst continuing with NATO exercises in the High North, our ships were treated to some incredible displays of the aurora borealis.
For many onboard, a once-in-a-lifetime moment.
