You get some pretty unique cloud formations over the Rock, this one seen from HMS Scimitar this afternoon. They are caused by the Levanter wind (or so our Met Office friends tell us!). We think they are best seen from the water (of course!) #alwaysbeasailor #Gibraltar
The #Gibraltar Squadron’s Pacific 24 RHIBs are held at immediate readiness 365 days a year, as well as conducting multiple patrols a day. As far as ‘views from the desk’ go, we would argue this morning’s shot of the Rock is pretty hard to beat!
🗣 Defence Secretary Penny Mordaunt: 'Operation Relentless has seen generations of submariners from HMS Resolution to HMS Vengeance on constant watch, for every minute of every day for the last five decades.'
