HMS Iron Duke

A great week at sea joining @HMSDuncan whilst she completes world class @FOST training. Trainee PWOs, EWs and ACs joined us for a week that featured challenging visibility and plenty of warfighting exercises, including a 'Thursday War' with some of our NATO allies.

🇬🇧🤝🇳🇱🇩🇪 double RAS first! We joined FGS Sachsen to successfully conduct a Replenishment at Sea with the Dutch ship HNLMS Den Helder. The first ever RAS by @RoyalNavy warship with the newly commissioned Dutch Combat Support Ship. #NATOfirst #Strongertogether

We thoroughly enjoyed being visited today in @HMNBPortsmouth by almost 2000 guests in the Pompey sunshine ☀️☀️☀️ Great to entertain friends and family of the @RoyalNavy who are always so supportive If you went please do share your snaps! ⚓

What a day to open the gangway for friends and family in @HMNBPortsmouth today ☀️☀️ ☀️

Great to welcome COMSURFLOT, Cdre Feasey, on board this week in @HMNBPortsmouth He thanked our Ship's company for their commitment over multiple operational taskings and presented our #aWEsoME WOWE with his Warrant Officer Parchment @RoyalNavy #MadeintheRoyalNavy

Five Russian vessels confronted in one week🇷🇺🚢 Warships and helicopters, including @HMSIronDuke and @hms_tyne, challenged Moscow's ships, which have repeatedly approached UK waters. More details🔗⬇️ forcesnews.com/services/navy/…

👇First platform-endorsed watch: ✅ A proud moment for SLt Fields, Officer of the Watch 2, his first platform endorsed watch steaming towards operational tasking at 28 knots. “It’s an incredible honour and a moment I’ll carry with pride.” @RoyalNavy #Bridgewatchkeeper

Protecting the sovereignty of the UK and our NATO allies is at the heart of the Royal Navy’s mission, and we take great pride in the operational impact we make in ensuring the security of the UK’s maritime domain.

👀 We're back and looking sharp 👀 Always a warm welcome from friends and family waving us in to our old base port @HMNBPortsmouth

Another #aWEsoME day— operating with a Merlin for a slick aviation sortie and hands-on with some solid engineering maintenance. Rotor blades, and wrench turns... all in a day's work.

⚓️ HMS Iron Duke slices through a dense veil of sea mist this evening. Radar sharp, lookouts sharper.

We're at sea this #ArmedForcesDay. Thank you to our friends and families—the real anchors—for your support 💙 A special mention to the new joiners getting their sea legs and discovering SPA(ME) isn't a luxury retreat but where you go to get sweaty in the engine room 🔧 🧯 ⚓

A fantastic day for HMS IRON DUKE’s Loggies as they attended the Chief Naval Logistics Officer’s Annual Awards @DSLAWorthy_Down Thoroughly deserved recognition!

A brilliant afternoon hosting @SeaCadetsUK onboard HMS Iron Duke! Cadets toured the ship, explored our ops room & flight deck, and met our sailors. Inspiring the next generation of the Royal Navy⚓ #HMSIronDuke #SeaCadets #RoyalNavy
