WINTER DEPLOYMENT 2022
The Surveillance and Reconnaissance Squadron (SRS) exercised deploying Inflatable Raiding Craft's (IRC) from a submarine at Lyngan Fjord in Northern Norway.
Royal Marines have deployed to Northern Norway to carry out their traditional winter deployment in the Arctic Circle. Commandos will refresh skills in surviving, moving and fighting across the ice. This year, Royal Navy ships will join Royal Marines for the large-scale Norwegian-led exercise Cold Response 22. This takes place in March through to April with 28 nations and a total of 35,000 troops already signing up for the exercises.
Unlike large vessels traveling on the ocean’s surface or most other vehicles on the planet, military submarines do not have windows. A submarine’s commander can’t tell their helmsman to hang a right at the next sea mount to get to their destination. (Slashgear.)
