    Some things are just pleasing to the eye - a time lapse video clip of HIGHLANDER, our embarked #Merlin helicopter from 814 NAS based at @RNASCuldrose unfolding the tail and rotor is one of those things.

    Leading by example, our Captain rescues a man overboard as the Swimmer of the Watch. #FightingClan

    Petty Officer (Weapon Engineer) Kirkaldy has been putting his skills to good use by up-cycling spent ammunition casings Due to the nature of the material, they are available on board only but all proceeds are going directly to @PoppyLegion Fantastic effort, for a great cause 👏

    A little inclement weather never stopped the #FightingClan from #ProtectingOurNationsInterests - that's why we batten down the hatches and secure the Ship for sea state 7. #StormErik #FightingClanAtSea

    The Fighting Clan, the Fastest Ship in the Fleet. This afternoon she certainly doesn’t look like she needs that engine upgrade! Anyone up for a race? #WithoutFear

    Replenishment At Sea is regarded as one of the most dangerous peacetime maritime evolutions. Luckily the #FightingClan are adept at it. #NATO

    Since our last port visit, we’ve had 15 days at sea, sailed over 4000 miles and crossed 5 time zones, so we’ve probably earned a bit of a break. There can’t be many better destinations than the beautiful British Indian Ocean Territory of Diego Garcia

    The view from the Quarterdeck - there is something quite mesmerising about watching our wake when we have the Gas Turbines on. #PowerToCommand #FightingClanAtSea
