We expect the Daily Fail to get things badly wrong but I’d have expected the MOD to do better and actually have a picture of them on HMSQNLZ!

Seems we’ll have to wait until Ocean starts her career with the Brazilian Navy before we get a photo op of her and QE at sea. Ocean enters Plymouth tomorrow flying her decommissioning pennant. She officially decommissions on March 31st

As already pointed out, this was on board HMS QE, but from what I remember the Merlins were yet to embark. She left Pompey with just the 2 Chinooks onboard, unless the Merlins were in stealth mode or in the hangar!Wrekin1410 wrote:We expect the Daily Fail to get things badly wrong but I’d have expected the MOD to do better and actually have a picture of them on HMSQNLZ!

@DiploMog @TreasuryMog @Number10cat let me know if there any #Ambassacats that I should be sharing a tin of tuna with while @HMSQnlz is alongside in #Gibraltar. I’ll be quite busy sleeping in sunny spots but could probably fit in a cat-esy call or two
