In my head during the annual drugs and alcohol awareness unit training … www.facebook.com/share/v/1M2g...

The RAF flights are particularly noteworthy.

If anyone in the WH with an IQ above fifty, bothered looking for ten minutes into the drug trade and specifically routes into the US, the USN wouldn’t be dicking about off Venezuela. It’s embarrassing the utter lack of awareness of these morons. /1

Our biggest multi part project so far, telling the story of the largest amphibious operation since World War Two. A tale of loss, heroism and penny pinching in defence that cost lives. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/s...

Last minute checks ready for new episode. With our amazing producer and editor Anna, @dmbrookfield.bsky.social , @intercityfc.bsky.social, @hopc.bsky.social , Latin and a very special guest and survivor of the loss of HMS Coventry Keith. Always good to have a fellow Jedi Knight RP join.

Combat Sent is rather rarer. Only two on the books? Maybe he will go to the ME. Maybe Baltic. And interesting that an RQ is joining the party. Usually this would suggest a bit of an uptick in ISTAR around Kaliningrad today.

No idea. I assume a surface track. Not on AIS.

Stacking up whisky and cigar reviews ready for the new @ShipWrektPod season. Tonight, Anoc 18, a true traditional malt from the old school, and not for the faint hearted. And a beautifully made box pressed Oliva Serie V Melanio Figurado.

OSINT accounts looking at their bed, Denmark, and the beer fridge…

Davidoff Late Hour Geneve Tomintoul Cigar Malt youtu.be/UnilUPXmipM?...

Note how Aimer got rounds on after a wild initial burst. I’m guessing 14.5. Gun pulled up. Second burst much more consistent and controlled and decent grouping. But the ship allowed the track to get into blind arcs.

Open bridge vs enclosed bridge. You’re going to be surprised at the relevance. Coming soon on @shipwrektpod.bsky.social

Novorossiysk. Waiting for more information.

Recording complete of @shipwrektpod.bsky.social first ever video. We talked cigars, whisky, life in the military, toasties and denim hot pants. And kicked off drinking before 0900 hrs. This was a good day!

Legit news from Valhalla

Alert AEW up again. Could be precautionary.

Shipwrekt fans! As we move towards our winter recording season we have some fantastic content lined up for you, including our first video in partnership with a local cigar lounge. We will discuss smokes, whisky, toasters, and denim hotpants. Got any questions about the pod? /1

Lots happening North Europe tonight. I think the alert tanker and AEW have been activated to support Polish / NATO CAP.

centreformilitaryjustice.org.uk/beck-family-... Hard to overstate my disgust at this as a former Sgt. Everyone in her CoC who didn’t go to the wall to protect her should walk into the sea. It’s not about your career.

Doubtless conducting ADEX serials with the carrier group. I hope it’s easier to establish L16 these days than back in the 1990’s on L11😂 @intercityfc.bsky.social

USS Missouri conducts a shoot against Iraqi positions in February 1991. Taken from the Gun Direction Platform on HMS Exeter. Want to know more? podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/s... open.spotify.com/episode/6SNI...

Really really sad news as I’ve had a couple of bottles from here and they were excellent. The industry is in trouble.

FORTE10 RQ-4B is breaking new ground today. I can't remember them surveiling the Barents Sea or the Norwegian Sea. The global hawk has endurance of over 30 hours so its surveillance capabilities are quite impressive.

JAKE17 Constant Phoenix Nuke Sniffer, WC-135R is on the way home after over 14 hours. The Constant Phoenix was most likely getting a before test sniff of the area west around the russian test area. A NOTAM was issued this morning for airspace around Novaya Zemlya. Thank you David @puca.bsky.social

podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/s... We talked about sites like Yevpatoria in the podcast and wondered if it was part of the OSNOD tactical data system. www.armadainternational.com/2023/06/russ... Looks like it’s been hit again . militarnyi.com/en/news/ukra...

Thanks @thinkdefence.bsky.social for banging out the rambling musings of a foremost Jack and gentleman of the quarterdeck as we talk leadership. x.com/thinkdefence...

As ever, waiting for confirmation here first. But initial thoughts are :- She wasn’t manoeuvring hard Her CIWS / light AAW mounts were not engaging Hard to be sure but Pantsir M on back end so it could be Stavropol (though I thought she was in Baltic) /1

Ukrainian forces of GUR struck a Russian type Buyan-M missile boat in the Black Sea. The ship is capable of firing Calibr cruise missiles.

When you deploy to your nations capital to bring law and order where there is chaos, but end up skirmishing for discarded Coke cans, Maccy D wrappers and used condoms…

Whatever is up there really really spooked NATO. I think either an SSBN (maybe their new one) or a boat going after undersea infrastructure. Whatever is was caused the RAF to fly unprecedented numbers of missions.

x.com/shipwrektpod... I think she’s had an engineering casualty tbh but I’m unsure how those twats conduct post refit work ups. It might be an acoustic or electronic range period to start certifying her for operations.

Northerly direction winds over Baltic I assume?

Happy Independence Day Ukraine! Fortitudine vincimus

Saturday evening duty alongside in Pompey. Pizza has just arrived. Blind Date about to start, mess is empty as it’s pay weekend…and the general alarm goes off and you’re support party. Living the dream. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/s... open.spotify.com/episode/2cn8...

Maritime blockade? Well the ARG would be handy for stop and search boardings. But Caracas is very close to the coast, and clearly the Venezuelan military think the game is afoot. Standby announcement from WH today I think /1

x.com/shipwrektpod... LATGM or RWS were always going to be an added complication. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/s...

Looks like a fairly substantial fire. Enough to warrant boundary cooling port and starboard by tugs. At least one portable educator going pumping water over the side. Still has power to bridge unless that’s emergency lighting.

Rather unusual mission. I wonder if the Russians have a naval group out that way.

Folks, we cracked twenty thousand and then some. Thank you to everyone who took time out to listen to our ramblings. It’s been hard work but hopefully you’ve learned stuff and had a few laughs. More great content coming this autumn! podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/shi…

Didn’t comment about the Russian penetration around Pokrovsk because it had to play out. I read with interest the usual experts losing their minds with doom laden prophecies and I’m reminded again that on X, be very careful about sources. A couple of takeaways though /1

Have you ever cranked one out in the fwd heads? Reported rounds in the galley flat? Been sent next door to buy a crate? Banged on the shutters and shouted “WATCHKEEPERS!” Does this make no sense to you? Have no fear. All is explained in our podcast! podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/s...
