As the flagship of the Royal Navy, Ark Royal is accompanied by three other impressive vessels - HMS Somerset, HMS Gloucester, and HMS Bulwark - as they navigate through the picturesque Straits of Mull in Northwest Scotland. Exercise Joint Warrior, formerly known as the Joint Maritime Course (JMC), serves as a crucial training ground for UK, NATO, and allied units. It provides a multi-threat environment to prepare these forces for their roles within combined joint operations. The participation of numerous countries such as Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, France New Zealand & USA highlights its international significance. During this exercise period, Ark Royal had the honor of hosting Commander 24th Destroyer Squadron (COMDESRON 24), Cdre Kersh from the United States Navy. This collaboration further emphasizes the importance placed on cooperation between nations in ensuring global security. The image showcases not only the grandeur of these naval vessels but also symbolizes unity and strength among allied forces.
