In the British Navy: NATO Maritime Task Force Command Enhances Success in Global Britain Project

33

The North Atlantic Alliance's Maritime Rapid Response Task Force was created to eliminate threats and risks in the maritime space that inevitably arise in the course of NATO's activities. The group is alternately commanded by different countries - members of the alliance. This time, the once "mistress of the seas" Great Britain took over from France and is now trying to regain dominance at sea.

The command ship of the group for 2022 was the British aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales. The NATO flag was raised on the aircraft carrier as a symbol of the fact that in the coming year the ship will serve as the flagship of the alliance's naval group.



The direct command of the operational forces during 2022 will be carried out by the commander of the strike group of the Royal fleet British Rear Admiral Michael Utley. It is known about him that he has served in the navy since 1990. During this time, Utley managed to be the commander of a patrol ship, frigate, aircraft carrier, aircraft carrier strike group and, finally, all the strike forces of the British fleet. This, according to the British press, is a fairly experienced and competent military officer who has awards for participating in the hostilities in Afghanistan.

As the Rear Admiral noted at the ceremony, NATO is currently the cornerstone of the United Kingdom's defense, so the UK is absolutely loyal and committed to the alliance. He also noted that it is a great honor for him to command the task force for a whole year. The Rear Admiral stressed that the modern Royal Navy of Great Britain is well prepared to participate in any naval operations of the North Atlantic Alliance. In addition, the British Navy noted that the command of the NATO naval task force will make it possible to more successfully achieve the implementation of the "Global Britain" project. This project assumes the growth of Britain's influence in the oceans. For example, it involves the simultaneous use of the 2nd new aircraft carrier strike groups of the United Kingdom away from their own shores.

It is known that the aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales will set sail on Wednesday. He is to take part in joint exercises of the North Atlantic Alliance, which will be led by the Norwegian fleet. The Royal Navy of Great Britain noted that this will be the first combat tests of the aircraft carrier since it was declared fully operational. The commander (captain - in NATO terminology) of the aircraft carrier Steve Hiham said that his ship will spend 200 days at sea, operating with other ships of the fleets of NATO countries around the world.

        Yes, for Britain this is exactly a project to return her colonies! Britain does not even hide it!
        The world has begun a NEW SECTION of the world for its spheres of influence.
        And Britain is chasing its piece at full speed when dividing the world "pie" - to strive to get involved in the war with someone else's hands, so that it will not be late for the "feast of predators" itself.

      Straight Royal Navy!

      Again "the sun never sets over Britain"? Phantom pains? Or have they hung up the bulbs, and it seems to them that the sun is?

      About phantom pain. I know a man who lost his left arm near Kandahar almost forty years ago. Until now, the weather aches. No, but it hurts.
      Does Britain still itch to pull the colonial helmet out of the closet?

    Afghanistan, what has the shores of the Afghan Sea? I hope the exercises will be in the region of Norway, since the Norwegian fleet is mentioned. Well then, we are waiting for the next "circus" performed by the NATO fleet in Northeast Asia in the winter. Then there was no American officer on board the Norwegian corvette, this is fake.

      I also thought - what fleet did this combat admiral command in Afghanistan and, most importantly, what naval battle he won there, since he has military awards?

    It's like that.
    HMS Queen Elizabeth's Carrier Strike Group:
    - 9 ships;
    - 1 nuclear submarine;
    - 32 aircraft;
    - 3700 people personnel;
    - 500000 nautical miles;
    - 17 allied countries;
    The latter is of paramount importance!

    Already long ago they slipped from Veliko to just Britain. Saying "Global Britain" is like declaring yourself the equal of the United States. NATO Brits are getting more and more expensive every year, but here they sometimes let them steer and pretend that they make their own decisions.

    if Britain wants to enter an Empire over which the sun does not set, then their paths with NATO must go their separate ways, and I hope that in this case it will come to the idiots from Foggy Albion that it will not be possible to defeat the Euro Reich without Russia, as it will not be possible to reach China ...
