HNLMS De Ruyter vaart een bewust gekozen route om de vrijheid van navigatie cf. UNCLOS III kracht bij te zetten 🇳🇱 🫡. Chinese aandacht en retoriek was mede daarom uiteraard verwacht. https://t.co/yjukAgbQXc

Remembering D-day 82 years ago, never forget! 🫡👊🏻

Awesome boats, but maybe not in rough seas... 😎

Next to leave, by far the coolest class I’ve photographed and last here in 2022. HNoMS Storm proving that even the classic Penlee swell can’t stop her and taking on the waves with a bit of teeth!

That many people on the forecastle to do a RAS 😳

Russian warships only do this when they’re in extreme distress.

Wow! In addition to the targeting of the oil terminal and other energy infrastructure in St. Petersburg, during this morning’s large-scale Ukrainian drone attack against Northwestern Russia, the Veleshchynskyi Dry Dock in Kronstadt was also heavily targeted, setting fire and causing serious damage to the Boikiy, a Steregushchiy-class corvette part of the Russian Navy’s Baltic Fleet.

My thoughts are with the family, friends and matelots. Rest in peace 🙏

Need to keep supporting Ukraine! 🇺🇦

[OSINTdefender @sentdefender]

Dozens of Russian one-way attack drones as well as cruise and ballistic missiles were launched and targeted the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv during last night’s large-scale attack, according to Ukraine-based monitors, in what appears to have been one of the largest attacks against the capital since the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

[Emmanuel Macron @EmmanuelMacron]

La Marine nationale a arraisonné hier matin un nouveau pétrolier sous sanctions internationales en provenance de Russie : le Tagor. Notre détermination est constante et totale.

Cette intervention a été effectuée en Atlantique, en haute mer, avec le soutien de plusieurs partenaires dont le Royaume-Uni, dans le strict respect du droit de la mer.

Il est inacceptable que des bateaux contournent les sanctions internationales, violent le droit de la mer et financent la guerre que mène la Russie contre l’Ukraine depuis plus de 4 ans.

Ces navires, qui ne respectent pas les règles les plus élémentaires de navigation maritime, constituent également une menace pour l’environnement et pour la sécurité de tous.

An awesome surprise this evening as USS Mount Whitney made an unscheduled arrival into HMNB Devonport! Last here in 2010 this was my first time seeing her, even better to photograph alongside @AllanWarships in the sunshine! I believe she is here before participating in Baltops 26
