[Vice Admiral Steve Moorhouse @smrmoorhouse]

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been honing our ability to conduct blue water carrier operations.

This is no small achievement. It’s not just about having the ships & aircraft – it’s about the knowhow to sustain this tempo at range.

Few navies can do this. #CSG21

[Vice Admiral Steve Moorhouse @smrmoorhouse]

Three words:

Strategic Maritime Power.

#CSG21 🇬🇧🇳🇱🇺🇸

[Vice Admiral Steve Moorhouse @smrmoorhouse]

1/ Today is the first time in living memory a UK Strike Group has vertically replenished 25 tonnes of fresh provisions & essential stores (including F-35B spares & 2 tonnes of mail) from a Royal Fleet Auxiliary vessel to multiple Royal Navy & partner ships. #CSG21 #GlobalNavy

[Charlie B @supbrow]

Great to see results of work by @BDSSU_UK culminate in Underway Replenishment by @RFATidespring to @HMSQNLZ & @smrmoorhouse.

BZ to the mariners & pilots who enable #CSG21 to continue extended operations at sea.
