We were delighted to welcome UK Chief of Joint Operations, @LtGenStickland to UKMCC. During a busy 24 hours in Bahrain, he also visited @HMSMontrose , @HMSChiddingfold , @CommanderUKMCMF , @CMF_Bahrain and @IMSC_Sentinel to get a full sense of maritime activity across the region.

A pleasure to see our Mine Countermeasures Vessels operating in tandem. Due to the tempo of ops in the Gulf, our ships rarely get an opportunity to conduct a coordinated departure from Mina Salman, #Bahrain . Nicely done @HmsShoreham @HmsBrocklesby & @HMSPenzance . @UKinBahrain
