Welcome home HMS Prince of Wales!
As HMS Prince of Wales returned to her home Port of Portsmouth this morning, RNRMC went down to join in the celebration of their return with the friends, families, and onlookers along the beaches - watching the spectacular ship come in from the Solent.
The Aircraft carrier has been in Norway playing a key part in the largest NATO Exercise since the Cold War. In a show of might for NATO and its partners, the exercise allowed the vessels and their aircraft to demonstrate their ability to defend allied territory while simultaneously defending themselves from potential enemies.
Taking part were: Royal Navy ships HMS Prince of Wales, frigate HMS Portland, Royal Fleet Auxiliary tanker Tidespring and amphibious landing ship RFA Mounts Bay; Spanish frigate ESPS Almirante Juan de Borbon; German replenishment ship FGS Bonn; Norwegian frigate HNoMS Otto Sverdrup, corvette HNoMS Gnist, patrol vessels HNoMS Olav Tyrggvason and HNoMS Magnus Lagabote; Norwegian coast guard ship KV Bjornoya; Dutch support ship HNLMS Karel Doorman; Italian aircraft carrier ITS Giuseppe Garibaldi; French frigate FS Normadie; and US destroyer USS Paul Ignatius.
