The 65 thousand-tonne ship, the largest Britain has ever built, has arrived in the Mediterranean accompanied by eight other British fleet ships and allies. Among the escorts are the HMS Astute nuclear submarine, the HMS Dauntless battleship, HMS Richmond Fregate, and two supply ships, RFA Tideforce and RFA Tidespring.
The formation was also enriched by the participation of Spanish frigate Méndez Núñez, as well as Norwegian ships HNoMS Maud and HNoMS Roald Amundsen. The British fleet will hold Allied exercises and operations in the Mediterranean, Middle East, Asia and Australia by December, writes A2 CNN.
The “Operation Highmast” mission, directed by Commodor James Blackmore, includes 4,500 British effectives and marks the second deployment of the Airplane Strike Group (CSG). On the way, it is expected to pass through the Red Sea where Yemeni's Howth attacked ships and possibly even in Taiwan's Strait, an action that may provoke China.
There are 18 F-35B fighter planes on board, anti-instate helicopters and fears of recent technology. The ship's commander, Captain Will Blackett, stated: “We are ready for every scenario this ship represents British naval power at its maximum. ”
The operation aims to send a clear message of the United Kingdom's determination to protect international order and allies in Indo-Peacekeeping. /Periscope/
