Russian Aircraft Carrier Admiral Kuznetsov is Escorted by HMS York Near Scotland
Type 42 destroyer HMS York (background) escorts the Russian aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov in International Waters close to the UK.
The Type 42 destroyer sailed north from her home port of Portsmouth and first observed the Admiral Kuznetsov north east of the Orkneys in the early hours of Monday, 12 December 2011.
She remained in close company with the Admiral Kuznetsov and her supporting task group, consisting of a destroyer, two frigates, two tankers and an ocean-going tug, whilst they were in the vicinity of the UK.
The Admiral Kuznetsov and her task group were believed to be deploying to the Mediterranean for exercises and training. The aircraft carrier is 999 feet (304m) long and displaces around 55, 000 tonnes.
It is the first time she had deployed near the UK for a number of years and HMS Yorks presence continued to demonstrate the Royal Navys commitment to maintaining the integrity and security of UK waters.
The Admiral Kuznetsov task group was within the international waters of the Moray Firth sheltering from poor weather

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the impressive sight of the Russian aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov being escorted by the Type 42 destroyer HMS York near Scotland. The image showcases the immense size and power of both naval vessels as they sail through international waters close to the UK. The HMS York, having set off from its home port in Portsmouth, first spotted the Admiral Kuznetsov northeast of the Orkneys on a chilly December morning in 2011. Throughout their journey, HMS York maintained a close watch over the Russian aircraft carrier and its accompanying task group, which included a destroyer, two frigates, two tankers, and an ocean-going tug. It was believed that this formidable fleet was en route to the Mediterranean for exercises and training purposes. With its length measuring an impressive 999 feet (304m) and displacing around 55,000 tonnes, Admiral Kuznetsov showcased Russia's military might on this rare deployment near UK waters. The presence of HMS York alongside these powerful vessels served as a testament to the Royal Navy's unwavering commitment to safeguarding UK waters' integrity and security. This particular moment captured in time highlights not only the strength but also emphasizes cooperation between nations even amidst differing geopolitical interests.
