The Flag Captain of HMS Albion, Captain Simon Kelly RN (centre left), is seen here with ships company on the bridge.
UK flagship HMS Albion today returned to Devonport, Plymouth from her three-month experimental autumn deployment to the Mediterranean.
The assault ship sailed back home to Devonport having led Littoral Response Group (Experimentation) (LRG(X)) on a series of exercises which will help shape the Royal Navy and Royal Marines of tomorrow.
Working together with HMS Dragon and RFA Lyme Bay, the task group has focused on developing the tactics and technology which will drive the Future Navy and Royal Marine’s Future Commando Force.
They tested new equipment, such as drones, which could be used for resupplying equipment to commandos on the ground, miniature aerial helicopters for surveillance and underwater autonomous sonars to help map beaches for landings.
In all 40 experimental concepts have been tested in nine major exercises, largely focused around Cyprus in October and November.
In addition to experimentation, the task group worked with NATO allies and regional partners to promote stability and security in the Mediterranean.
The ships, helicopters and Royal Marines trained alongside forces from Cyprus, France, Georgia, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Romania, Spain, Turkey and Ukraine.
