Joint Warrior - Military Exercise 132

The time of year has come around again when we have the second of the Joint Warrior military exercises in Scotland.

Sadly this time around we have a very reduced number of ships visiting the Clyde prior to the exercise beginning.

So, an early start across to Rhu to see what the day would bring.

The outcome is that we had two vessels arrive at Faslane, and one headed to Glasgow - meaning a hurried dash to try and catch the Glasgow bound HMS Northumberland.

Nothing more expected so we'll wait until Monday when they will probably depart.
