Final move into @HMNBDevonport Frigate Support Centre - HMS IRON DUKE's Fleet Time Support and Docking Periods are underway. An essential milestone in the ship's programme towards @RoyalNavy operational tasking in 2026

Yes, a big BZ to Yoshiharu Fukushima for a great set of images shot while embarked with the JMSDF during joint exercises with UK Carrier Strike Group (superb 4-page photo special inside the mag) & also Michael Nitz for pics of the Indian Navy frigate - ship profile piece inside.

Our Assistant Editor, and imagery contributor, @StephenJagger4 was at Portsmouth recently and captured some video footage of this historic vessel, MGB 81, which saw combat in the Channel & N. Sea during WW2. Preserved by the Portsmouth Naval Base Property Trust & looking good!

1/3 As expected, the annual Russian strategic nuclear forces exercise came today and was a rather modest affair. The Northern Fleet Delta IV-class SSBN Bryansk, which finished a lengthy overhaul not too long ago, fired a SS-N-23 from the Barents Sea.

2/2 VAdml Kulakov is a elderly, tho' tough, Udaloy Class destroyer. Entered service 1981, having been laid down 1978 & launched 1980. A Wildcat helicopter of the UK Fleet Air Arm's 815 Naval Air Squadron took part in the op plus a Dutch NH90 helicopter & the French Navy. RN pic.

1/2 Destroyer HMS Duncan committed to a 48-hour shadowing operation on Russian Navy warship RFS Vice Admiral Kulakov in the English Channel. Unusual for recent times in being a direct tasking from the NATO maritime HQ Northwood in London. Royal Navy video (Duncan nearest).

Very busy in the production period for @WarshipsIFR magazine's next edition, but cannot let Trafalgar Day slide by without again sharing a montage of pics by my friend & co-author of two HMS Victory books Jonathan Eastland. A replica HMS Pickle has 'sneaked' into one shot.

A good day for Ukraine with renewed allied political/military support in Brussels and new UK sanctions. Ukraine obv very concerned about the winter and staying in the fight in 2026 and beyond. A massive tease today that Trump will announce Tomahawk on Friday. Here I explain why
“I think the pressure we need to bring onto Russia to change course is fundamentally one of economic warfare.” The next step to ending the war in Ukraine is to apply “maximum pressure from all angles” to force Putin to the negotiating table, says @John_ForemanCBE

Not a RN ship but making a visit to @HMNBDevonport is the polar research vessel RRS Sir David Attenborough. Seen here in Plymouth Sound headed for Devonport, which is home to the RN Hydrographic Squadron, including ice patrol ship HMS Protector. Vid courtesy @StephenJagger4

Cheeky 'Hunt for Red October' reference in a comment by NATO Sec Gen about a poorly Russian submarine!
3/3 Probs seemingly confirmed y'day by NATO Sec Gen Mark Rutte who said: "There is a lone and broken Russian submarine limping home from patrol. What a change from the 1984 Tom Clancy novel ‘The Hunt for Red October.’ Today, it seems more like the hunt for the nearest mechanic."
