The Brit Royal Navy has joined forces with the US for training in the icy waters of the Arctic. While many Armed Forces personnel remain in the UK supporting the national fight against coronavirus, the crew of HMS Kent are making sure Brits are prepared for future global threats.
HMS Kent joined two American destroyers, a nuclear submarine, support ship and long-range maritime patrol aircraft above the Arctic Circle this week to practise skills in challenging environmental conditions.
The Plymouth-based frigate, as well as her Merlin helicopter from 814 Naval Air Squadron, is designed to help protect the UK's nuclear deterrent and keep Britain safe.
