EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a Royal Navy Merlin helicopter gracefully landing on the flight deck of HMS Somerset, a Type 23 frigate stationed near Iraq. The helicopter, operated by 820 Naval Air Squadron, was engaged in various drills including landing and taking off exercises, winching operations, and a simulated Helicopter In Flight Re-fuel (HIFR). HMS Somerset has been deployed to the Arabian Gulf for six months as part of Operation TELIC. Its primary mission is to provide security to Iraqi offshore oil infrastructure crucial for the country's economy and coalition campaign reconstruction efforts. Additionally, during its time in the region, HMS Somerset will participate in multinational exercises while supporting UK strategic interests in the Middle East. Prior to this deployment, HMS Somerset also played an active role in Operation ACTIVE ENDEAVOUR in the Mediterranean. This operation aimed at providing reassurance and reinforcing freedom of navigation while conducting counter-piracy operations off the Horn of Africa. The image not only showcases the impressive capabilities of both the Royal Navy's equipment and personnel but also symbolizes their commitment towards maintaining peace and stability across different regions.
