Privileged to host former HMS Blazer Commanding Officer @AdmTonyRadakin_ onboard in the Thames yesterday for his final day in office as Chief of Defence Staff.

Premier in the first

[Royal Navy @RoyalNavy]

Tower Bridge was raised in tribute to Admiral Sir Tony Radakin as the outgoing Chief of the Defence Staff marked the end of his 40-year career in defence with a trip on @HMS_Blazer, the P2000 he once commanded for the @RoyalNavy

[Admiral Sir Tony Radakin 🇬🇧 @AdmTonyRadakin_]

Lastly, looking back over 40 years, I am more convinced than ever the Armed Forces offers an amazing career.

To those still serving or about to join... be bold, be ambitious, be demanding of yourselves and of your leadership. And always keep pushing to go further and faster.

[Ministry of Defence 🇬🇧 @DefenceHQ]

After nearly four years’ service in the role, Admiral Sir Tony Radakin has left Defence HQ as Chief of the Defence Staff for the last time.

On behalf of the whole of Defence, we thank you for your service, sir.

Lt Jack Dilworth assumed command today in Norway from Lt Aaron Paul. We thank Lt Paul for his excellent work over the last 18 months, and wish him the very best for the future.

[HMS Puncher @HMSPuncher]

Not only do the Norwegian Fjords offer a unique challenge and operating area, they also make us look pretty good!

Thank you @hms_blazer for the photos 👊

Exciting week for BLAZ and @HMS_Smiter participating in Project Acheron in the Bristol Channel showcasing how autonomous assets can be integrated into Maritime operations

[HMS Blazer @hms_blazer]

Finally home! We reached the artic circle, got some blue noses, braved some less than ideal sea, got acquainted with some Norwegian fast attack craft and shot down some Wildcats. A massive thank you to all those who helped us generate with engineering and logistical support.

@815NAS @DefenceOps @JEFnations @RNASYeovilton @Forsvaret_no Excited for the final day of what’s been a hugely beneficial exercise. BZ @HMSExploit on getting the day off to a great start with a strong snipe

[815 Naval Air Squadron @815NAS]

The fight continues on #TamberShield2024 💥

We’ve spent the week operating in the fjords conducting training sorties against a range of simulated threats in preparation for a multi-day free-play war serial.

The sun sets on another great day of training in Ex Tamber Shield.

[815 Naval Air Squadron @815NAS]

The hunter and the hunted!

Our crews are working hard to avoid anti-air weapon systems in the Fjords. Aggressor Squadron from RAF Spadeadam are supporting #TamberShield2024 by emulating Man-Portable Air-Defence (MANPAD) systems.

Great day yesterday with @815NAS @HMSTrumpeter @HMS_Biter @HMSExploit out in the Fjords. What better way to start the week than hide and seek with MANPADs and Missiles. Obviously no real world damaged caused to anything except pride on both sides.
