An honour to host Maj Gen Rolf Folland, Chief of the Royal Norwegian Air Force on HMS Prince of Wales.
During #SteadfastDefender24 we have operated in the Norwegian fjords & skies, so it was great to discuss the NATO exercise & look for future opportunities to work together.

It isn't just allied ships that make up the Carrier Strike Group.
We are fortunate to be joined on HMS Prince of Wales by officers from different NATO allied countries. Some serve with UKCSG for years, others are with us just for #SteadfastDefender24 .

Interoperability is key to everything we do.
HMCS Charlottetown from Royal Canadian Navy is one of the #SteadfastDefender24 Carrier Strike Group escorts. From cross-decking helicopters to replenishing with RFA Tidespring, they are a great example of how important integration is to us.

An awe-inspiring Arctic scene for the #SteadfastDefender24 Carrier Strike Group.
Whilst continuing with NATO exercises in the High North, our ships were treated to some incredible displays of the aurora borealis.
For many onboard, a once-in-a-lifetime moment.
