Fine Art Print : Periscope of USS Dallas and HMS Illustrious
Fine Art Prints from Armed Forces
Periscope of USS Dallas and HMS Illustrious
The periscope of the American submarine USS Dallas cuts through the surface as HMS Illustrious sails past in the morning haze.
HMS Illustrious, RFA Fort Victoria, RFA Fort Austin, USS Bulkeley and the American Los Angeles Class Submarine USS Dallas took part in a joint anti submarine exercise in the Middle East.
The aims of the exercise is to develop maritime interoperability by exercising Anti-Submarine Warfare tactics with US allies in the challenging sonar environment of the warm and shallow waters of the Gulf region.
The exercise was broken down into three phases. The ships and submarines initially tested acoustic and non-acoustics sensor performance against known positions, gaining useful real life data for the region.
The second phase relied on the ships escorting HMS Illustrious as the Mission Essential Unit (MEU) along a passage whilst evading detection and simulated torpedo attacks by USS Dallas.
In the final phase USS Dallas tried to locate and destroy RFA Fort Austin as the MEU, in a holding box which simulated an anchorage, as the UK and US naval ships provided protection. Additional helicopter support to the ships was ably provided by the Anti-Submarine sonar dipping Merlins embarked in HMS Illustrious and USS Bulkeleys Seahawk, with Westminsters Mark 8 Lynx helicopter providing an additional surface search and weapon carrying capability

EDITORS COMMENTS
The periscope of the American submarine USS Dallas emerges from the depths, piercing through the calm surface of the water as HMS Illustrious gracefully sails by in a haze-filled morning. This print captures a moment during a joint anti-submarine exercise in the Middle East, where maritime interoperability and Anti-Submarine Warfare tactics were put to the test. In this challenging sonar environment of warm and shallow Gulf waters, HMS Illustrious led a fleet consisting of RFA Fort Victoria, RFA Fort Austin, USS Bulkeley, and USS Dallas. The exercise was divided into three phases to ensure comprehensive training. During the initial phase, acoustic and non-acoustic sensor performance were tested against known positions, providing valuable real-life data for future operations in this region. In the second phase, ships escorted HMS Illustrious as it navigated through treacherous waters while evading detection and simulated torpedo attacks by USS Dallas. The final phase saw USS Dallas attempting to locate and destroy RFA Fort Austin acting as a Mission Essential Unit (MEU) within a simulated anchorage area. Throughout these exercises, both UK and US naval ships provided protection while receiving additional support from helicopter units such as Merlins embarked on HMS Illustrious and Seahawk helicopters aboard USS Bulkeley. Westminster's Mark 8 Lynx helicopter also contributed with its surface search capabilities along with carrying weapons. This awe-inspiring image not only showcases military prowess but also highlights international collaboration among allies striving for excellence in maritime defense strategies.
