EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the magnificent HMS Ocean in all her glory as she sails through the Mediterranean during Joint Expeditionary Force (Maritime) operations. This year's major task group deployment showcases the Royal Navy's unwavering ability to deploy highly effective and combat-capable maritime forces worldwide. As Britain's largest warship, HMS Ocean proudly serves as both a helicopter carrier and assault ship, embodying the strength of the Royal Navy. In this image, we see Apache, Merlin, and Chinook helicopters embarked on board, ready for any mission that lies ahead. With six helicopters and four Mk5 landing craft vehicle and personnel (LCVP), HMS Ocean is fully equipped to deliver troops by air or sea. The ship underwent significant upgrades in 2015 with new communications and IT systems installed, enabling it to host a staff led by a Rear Admiral who commands UK and NATO Task Groups. Beyond its role as the Royal Navy's flagship vessel, HMS Ocean also houses the headquarters staff responsible for commanding the Maritime Component Commander of the NATO Response Force (NRF) in 2016. This demonstrates not only its importance within British naval operations but also its significance on an international scale. As this print immortalizes HMS Ocean sailing through calm waters under clear skies, it symbolizes not just her physical presence but also represents decades of dedication from those who serve aboard her – protecting our seas and projecting British power across continents.
