EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a serene moment aboard the HMS Cornwall as her crew members enjoy a hands to bathe session in the crystal-clear waters of the Indian Ocean. The ship, currently deployed as the British contribution and Flagship to the Standing NATO Maritime Group 2 (SNMG2), takes a pause from its operational demands to provide much-needed relaxation for its sailors. Hands to bathe is an opportunity for these dedicated servicemen and women to unwind and rejuvenate by taking a refreshing swim. As they immerse themselves in the calm ocean, their cares wash away, replaced by a sense of tranquility amidst their demanding duties. This image not only showcases this rare moment of respite but also highlights NATO's commitment to combat piracy in the Gulf of Aden. The multinational force consisting of ships from Greece, Italy, United States, Turkey, and led by HMS Cornwall serves as a visible deterrent against maritime threats. POA (Phot) Owen King skillfully captures this scene with his lens, emphasizing both the natural beauty surrounding them and the unity among these naval forces. This photograph stands as a testament to their unwavering dedication while reminding us that even amidst challenging circumstances at sea, moments like these offer solace and strength before returning to duty once again.
