75 years ago today, the nation came together to celebrate as peace returned to Europe. We remember the courage, service and sacrifice of those who fought so hard. The technology may have changed, the pride and capability hasn’t #VEDay75@HMSLedbury@RoyalNavy@COMUKMCMFOR
This is @HMSLedbury and MCM2 Crew 2 OP KIPION 20:

Pompey Revs! A ceremonial Formation F Starboard as we say goodbye to @HMSBlyth after 6000Nm together across 3 continents, 7 seas and 8 port visits. We continue on our separate ways to our home ports.
Who can tell me the flags and their meaning!?
@RoyalNavy@DefenceOps
A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor.
It hasn’t all been calm seas for @HMSLedbury and @HMSBlyth with wind speeds up to 60 knots and wave heights in excess of 4 metres through the South West Monsoon in the Arabian Sea.
