Exciting week for BLAZ and @HMS_Smiter participating in Project Acheron in the Bristol Channel showcasing how autonomous assets can be integrated into Maritime operations


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.

The fight continues on #TamberShield2024 💥 We’ve spent the week operating in the fjords conducting training sorties against a range of simulated threats in preparation for a multi-day free-play war serial. @DefenceOps @RNASYeovilton @Forsvaret_no @JEFnations

The hunter and the hunted! Our crews are working hard to avoid anti-air weapon systems in the Fjords. Aggressor Squadron from RAF Spadeadam are supporting #TamberShield2024 by emulating Man-Portable Air-Defence (MANPAD) systems. @RoyalAirForce @JEFnations @Forsvaret_no

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

We’ve been looking forward to this sight ever since we left Portsmouth but that hasn’t made it any less rewarding

One of the rare moments where you can literally see the civvy’s paying thousands for this. The ships and their crews continue to push themselves as we head ever north

Apparently there’s a lack of supermarkets where we’re headed. RAS now complete.

The weathers finally had us so it’s a weekend in Trondheim before we continue our journey North. Turns out we’re fine with a moving deck but a slippy ones our downfall


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 🔗ow.ly/ojgq50QxZl8

Great day of training today with @HMS_Biter @HMSExploit and @HMSTrumpeter New toys were tested and a bit of training conducted. Coastal Forces Squadron is ready to deploy


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.

After an exciting and varied 18 months in command Lt Pierce Tattersall has handed over command to Lt Aaron Paul. We wish Lt Tattersall all the best in his future career and hope to bump into him again. #smallshipsbigimpact
