The Captains of the ENTERPRISE! As we prepare to go beyond the final frontier with our decommissioning ceremony it was great to welcome all the James T Kirk and Jean Luc Picard lookalikes back on board. Loads of great dits (for the most part). They boldly went!

1 day to decommissioning - 2022, a year of regeneration. Emerging from dry dock, through operational sea training and then back to ops, this time in the High North. ENTERPRISE ended the year as the UK's presence in the N Sea, helping to protect critical national infrastructure.

2 days to decommissioning - 2021 was a tough year for us as well: propulsion defects and COVID meant that the ship struggled to get back on an even keel after the challenges of the past year. Hard work and the can do attitude of RN sailors got us back on track, ready for 2022.

2/2 - with replenishing routes vanishing the ship redeployed to the Mediterranean. Right place at the right time syndrome struck again as we were first on the scene providing support to the local community after the horrific explosion in Beirut. 2020 was indeed an eventful year.

1/2 - 3 days to decommissioning - at the start of 2020 the ship was operating in the Asia Pacific when reports started surfacing of a respiratory virus in three region. Everything then changed. With the closing down of countries in the region ENTERPRISE operations had to change.

Well that was emotional! Great welcome from Portsmouth, our final destination. Thanks for the escort @khmportsmouth . Finished with main engines!

2/2 - arriving in theatre we spent the next 8 months criss crossing this huge region re-establishing ties with close allies; including hosting the then Prince Charles alongside in Tokyo when he attended the enthronement of the new emperor of Japan. We boldly went that year!

1/2 - 4 days to decommissioning - what a year 2019 was! Started with counter migrant ops in the channel, hosting the fleet navigation officers course before survey ops in the SW Approaches. Next thing we know we're bounced to the other side of the world in the Asia Pacific.

5 days to decommissioning - Summer 2018 saw ENTERPRISE return to the UK on completion of a year long SNMCMG2 duty. No rest for the wicked though - straight into 5 annual docking at Falmouth before getting back on ops in Norway and then a top up of operational sea training.

Enterprise leaves Falmouth for the last time today as we make our way to Portsmouth. We've visited this great maritime town many times over the years; it's always been a magnificent host. So long and thanks for all the fish. Next stop Pompey and our final entry on Monday morning.

2/2 - SNMCMG2 is NATO's standing mine countermeasures force in the Med. This year long deployment would see ENTERPRISE visit more than 48 different ports (some cracking runs ashore!) in the Med and see the ship operate with a large number of NATO units. #boldlygo.

1/2 - 2017 proved yet again ENTERPRISE was the navy's Swiss army knife. Guard ship duties (with a bit of surveying thrown in) in the S Atlantic, visiting the Falklands isles and the magical S Georgia were replaced by ENTERPRISE assuming the duties of Flagship to SNMCMG2.

I've missed a couple of years! - ENTP spent most of 2016 in the central Med conducting humanitarian ops alongside European partners before being redeployed to the South Atlantic to pick up the duties of Falkland Islands guard ship in place of HMS CLYDE. Truly global capability.

8 days to decommissioning - after starting 2015 East of Suez conducting survey tasking ENTP was again re-tasked to the Mediterranean this time in response to a growing humanitarian crises. OP LITTEN would occupy the ship for the next 18 months and see thousands of lives saved.
