HMS Argyll will also conduct counter narcotics patrols in conjunction with the US Coast Guard( @Hamartia Antidote , see we haven't forgot our american friends. lol) to enhance regional security and deter illicit activity.
Our very own Royal Navy’s drug busting warship HMS Argyll is heading home for Christmas having dealt another blow to the drugs trade in the North Atlantic, helping our American friends patrol their neighbourhood.
Special Sea Dutymen take in the sunrise
Lets not Forget HMS Lancaster who is never far behind HMS Argyll in the Carribean seas.
HMS Lancaster continues journey to overseas territories:Contingency plans have been discussed with the local services and authorities, meaning that if Lancaster has to return to any of the forty islands that make up the territory she can respond quickly and effectively, providing humanitarian aid and disaster relief.
HMS Lancaster paid a visit to the capital island Tortola where she followed a programme of working with officials and displayed her powerful capabilities to islanders and interested parties.
HMS Lancaster continues journey to overseas territories: Lancaster, affectionately nicknamed ‘The Queen’s Frigate’ after her sponsor Her Majesty The Queen, will visit all six of the British Overseas Territories in the region as well as numerous Commonwealth and Caribbean countries in order to conduct regional defence engagement.
These visits will provide the opportunity to train with other navies as well as demonstrate the Royal Navy’s continued commitment to the region.
HMS Lancaster continues her journey to overseas territories: HMS Lancaster’s Commanding Officer, Commander Steve Moorhouse, said:
“It was a great honour to visit Tortola and continue the long relationship the Royal Navy has had with the British Virgin Islands. We were made to feel very welcome by everyone upon our arrival and throughout our stay.
"I am delighted we had the opportunity to work with the Governor’s office and emergency services to share knowledge and also prepare for any natural disaster.”
Lnacaster Patrolling Virgin islands shores: During Lancaster’s stay the ship’s company hosted the Governor and the Premier as well as local dignitaries, officials and even the owner of Pusser’s Rum for a Reception and Capability Demonstration; the evening ended with the Royal Navy’s traditional ceremonial sunset accompanied by Lancaster’s very own bagpipes.
This visit not only saw Lancaster hosting the locals, but also the locals hosting Lancaster as several members of the ships company took part in ‘adopt a sailor’ day. Small groups from each messdeck spent the day with local families doing a range of things from island tours to experiencing local life.
On the rugby pitch Lancaster’s improving team put in a good performance against the BVI National side, losing 20-0; and the football team were once again victorious beating Wolves FC on penalties.
Anguilla will be the next port of call for HMS Lancaster, which will be the first time many of the sailors have arrived at this port.
Lancaster’s sailors also played a big part on the field of sport.
The Cricket team put in a sterling performance against the BVI Cricket association, which include former West Indies cricketers, but unfortunately lost by 40 runs.
