A "Operation Hornbeam" candidate at one time ;) No doubt her movements are still being watched although now by Satellite especially if she is Sailing towards a certain RADAR Installation. We have already had a Russian aircraft flying around under the "Open Sky Agreement " which the Americans have pulled out of.

I wonder if she was hanging around for Exercise "Joint Warrior" which has not long finished in the North Sea and included the new Carrier 'Prince Of Wales' work up.

Part of the "Privately" Owned Northern Fleet then Paul ;) I wonder if the Company Boss is a high ranking Officer in the Russian Navy and of course a friend of Putin or at least a member of the Putin Mafia. :?
In the old days they looked like floating Porcupines with all the antennas ;)

:D :D Careless talk like that could have both of us in the Lubyanka Prison.

We also note that she is flying the Union Flag.

Need to watch out for the 'Norvachoc' Chuck ☠️, seems that Putin (by means of Third Parties) can commit assassinations with impunity in this Country.
Did this vessel declare an emergency for her surprise, surprise visit which is the usual thing they do, interesting she has her Anchor 'a' Cock Bill.
