@HMSTrumpeter The COs are getting younger every day. Great experience!

[Mark Hammon @CdrMarkHammon]

I have today handed over the 1st Patrol Boat Squadron @RoyalNavy and reflect on a very enjoyable and rewarding 2 years in Command. There have been some very memorable events, but it is the people who have made it and who I will remember. Thank you. @CaptainMFP

[HMS EXPRESS @HMSExpress]

After nearly 4,000 nautical miles, including 6 countries and 18 port visits, EXPRESS returns home from a 2-month deployment to the Baltic. And what better way to finish the deployment off than a families day in the Solent! @WalesURNU @HmsDasher #1PBS

[HMS Ranger @HMS_Ranger]

Summer Deployment comes to an end today. We have covered nearly 3,500nm around the UK training students from @SussexURNU & @devon_urnu and a YO from @HMSDragon. It’s been a pleasure representing the @RoyalNavy around 🇬🇧 #teamranger #RangersFamily

Goodbye #Rotterdam! Great shot of our sister @HMSExplorer in front of the #impressive #Erasmusbrug. #1PBS continues to demonstrate it's reach, and utility as ambassadors for the @RoyalNavy. #SmallShipsBigReach @CdrMarkHammon @CaptainMFP @ukinnl @rotterdam

Our summer deployment continues. @Iamsterdam, via #IJsselmeer and #Markenmeer, with @HMSExplorer. A route very rarely trodden by the @RoyalNavy! (The lakes have a depth of 3-5m!) Arrived in time for #ENGCRO! #SmallShipsBigReach #itscominghome #1PBS @CdrMarkHammon @CaptainMFP

[HMS Ranger @HMS_Ranger]

Need some #MondayMotivation? The COs of #1pbs deal daily with challenging berthing & unberthing arrangements, entering ports our Sister Ships can’t.
