Pleasure to be on board HMS Dasher this evening in Le Havre, alongside HMS Trumpeter, to thank captains and crew for their support during #DDay80. Impressed by their teamwork and joie de vivre, supported by UK Defence in France and our 🇫🇷 partners. Merci à tous et bon voyage.

Small ship? No problem! Brilliant to host Ambassador Menna Rawlings and UK Defence in France for an onboard reception and ceremonial sunset, along with representatives from Marine nationale and the Le Havre community. HMS Trumpeter #CoastalForcesSquadron #SmallShipsBigImpact
