Finally home! We reached the artic circle, got some blue noses, braved some less than ideal sea, got acquainted with some Norwegian fast attack craft and shot down some Wildcats. A massive thank you to all those who helped us generate with engineering and logistical support.

Great day yesterday with @815NAS @HMSTrumpeter @HMS_Biter @HMSExploit out in the Fjords. What better way to start the week than hide and seek with MANPADs and Missiles. Obviously no real world damaged caused to anything except pride on both sides. Photo credit Theo Dodd

If it was easy, everyone would do it. Both the Ship and her Crew performing admirably as things get colder. #smallshipsbigimpact

Great feeling yesterday to be waved off in Portsmouth. It’s easy to forget in these moments but a huge amount of effort from both teams and individuals goes into preparing for these deployments. Thanks to everyone for their support and yes, a bit bumpy out there yesterday… 🌊.
To coldly go. Leaving @HMNBPortsmouth in company are @hms_blazer @HMS_Biter @HMSExploit and @HMSTrumpeter - bound for the 70th Parallel North, deep, deep inside Norway's Arctic Circle, for nearly 4 months.❄️. #WeareNATO #StrongerTogether. 🔗

Looks like the news is out! We’re very excited for what promises to be an amazing albeit challenging deployment and look forward to updating everyone as we go.
.@HMS_Biter, @HMS_Blazer, @HMSExploit and @HMSTrumpeter, the smallest ships in the fleet, are preparing to leave @HMNBPortsmouth at the beginning of February for a four-month mission – mostly in the fjords of Norway.
