HMS Smiter

Devonport Open Day today. The first time a naval base has been open to the public since the sad demise of Navy Days, last held in 2010. @HMSPortland @HMS_Smiter main attractions. Although on a limited scale compared with events of the past, well done to @Babcockplc…

⚓️ We’re looking forward to welcoming visitors onboard today and giving them a rare glimpse into our world! #sailors #ships #royalmarines - what’s not to love! #devonportopendays

We're home! 👋 SMIT has returned to Devonport after a successful deployment to the Baltic as part of #BALTOPS25. The Ship is looking forward to some well deserved maintenance prior to returning to operations. #CoastalForcesSquadron @RoyalNavy #SmallShipsBigImpact

Some of the smallest vessels in the Royal Navy’s inventory have proven their value during NATO’s main Baltic exercise. royalnavy.mod.uk/news/2025/july…

Happy Armed Forces Day! It continues to be a privilege to serve King and Country with such amazing people from all walks of life. Metal makes hulls (well plastic in our case!) but sailors make ships. @RoyalNavy #ArmedForcesDay2025 #CoastalForcesSquadron #SmallShipsBigImpact

Nice to see A512 again today after our SURFEX during #BALTOPS25 👋 Hopefully we get a chance to get the Ship's Companies together during #KielerWoche. @RoyalNavy @deutschemarine #NATOFirst #SmallShipsBigImpact

2 Days into BALTOPS25, HMS SMITER and @HMSExample have embarked @RN_MTXG and are ready to support MCM training. Having already completed the PHOTEX and a VDR demo with @Lithuanian_NAVY, we will keep you posted with what we get up to!

A real privilege to be involved in yesterdays’ PHOTEX for #BALTOPS25 Coastal Forces Squadron at the front of their respective divisions, looking small compared to our #NATO comrades but no less mighty. @HMSArcher @HMS_Smiter @HMSExample @HMS_Pursuer @HMS_Biter #NATOfirst

PHOTEX ☑️ BALTOPS25 commenced. @HmsDasher @HMSBiter @HMSExample @HMS_Smiter @USNavyEurope @Kaitsevagi @BelgiumDefence @Lithuanian_NAVY @Navyfi @MarWojRP @deutschemarine #NATOFirst #BALTOPS25 #TheOriginalAndBest #TheArrowNeverMisses

The Ship's Company have made good use of their time alongside Copenhagen today by taking a cycling tour of the beautiful city. Here is a selection of some of the best photos taken by our Navigator's Yeoman (and duty photographer) @RoyalNavy @forsvaretdk #GlobalModernReady

A grey but pleasant stop in Sassnitz, Germany with @HMSExample. Former HMS OTUS also gave our resident submariners something to get excited over! @RoyalNavy @deutschemarine #BALTOPS25 #CoastalForcesSquadron #SmallShipsBigImpact #GlobalModernReady

Thank you Swinoujscie for a lovely few days alongside. Hopefully SMITER will make it back to Poland soon! Great for the Ship's Company to experience some new cultures. @HMSExample @RoyalNavy @MarWojRP #BALTOPS25 #GlobalModernReady #CoastalForcesSquadron

We have bumped into a few other P2000s (planned) in Ustka, another lovely Polish town we will be visiting often during #BALTOPS25 @HMSArcher @HMS_Smiter @HMSExample

After a less than pleasant day at sea, HMS SMITER, in company with @HMSExample arrived alongside Ustka (the first Polish stop on our #BALTOPS25 deployment) @RoyalNavy @MarWojRP #CoastalForcesSquadron #GlobalModernReady

Call the Hans! 🇬🇧🇩🇪 Six P2000s - @HMSArcher, @HMS_Biter, @HmsDasher, @HMSExample, @HMS_Pursuer and @HMS_Smiter have arrived on Germany's Baltic coast for major #NATO exercise #BALTOPs25 where they will experiment with aerial and underwater drones.

Hello Sweden! 👋 Coastal Forces first visit of many for #BALTOPS25. @HMSExample @Swedish_Navy @RoyalNavy #GlobalModernReady #CoastalForcesSquadron

A few days well spent visiting Naval Academy Mürwik with @HMS_Biter @HMSExample @HMS_Pursuer. This included a football tournament (we won't mention the score), and guided tours of the academy grounds. Thank you for hosting us @deutschemarine! Hopefully see you next year!

@HMSExample proceeding east through the Kiel Canal. In company with @HMS_Smiter, @HMS_Pursuer and @HMS_Biter. #BALTOPS25 #ductusexemplo #coastalwarfare
