Many happy returns!

Launched in 1996 and the 13th of 16 Type 23 frigates. The best @RoyalNavy Frigate 2020, known as the #FightingClan; our motto is WITHOUT FEAR.
- 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.
00:00 - "Sailors know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore." - Vincent Van Gogh #StormGareth
00:00 - Leading by example, our Captain rescues a man overboard as the Swimmer of the Watch. #FightingClan
00:00 - 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 👏
- “No Captain can do very wrong if he places his ship alongside that of the enemy”. -Lord Horatio Nelson #TrafalgarDay
00:00 - “The best preparation for good work tomorrow is to do good work today.” - Elbert Hubbard #MondayMotivation #FightingClanAtSea
00:00 - Starting International Coffee Day with a bridge wing brew off the Western Isles of Scotland, good morning Ailsa Craig. Pusser’s coffee boat, NATO standard - Can you do any better? 🇬🇧
- 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
00:00 - 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
00:00 - Replenishment At Sea is regarded as one of the most dangerous peacetime maritime evolutions. Luckily the #FightingClan are adept at it. #NATO
00:00 - 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
- A great view of the Ship today in beautiful Valletta Grand Harbour #Malta
- The view from the Quarterdeck - there is something quite mesmerising about watching our wake when we have the Gas Turbines on. #PowerToCommand #FightingClanAtSea
