EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring sight of a Royal Navy Merlin helicopter soaring above the HMS Cumberland during counter drug smuggling operations in the Caribbean. The powerful image showcases the synergy between air and sea forces, highlighting their joint efforts in maintaining security and combating illicit activities. HMS Cumberland, a Batch 3 Type 22 frigate, stands as a testament to British naval engineering prowess. Commissioned in June 1989 after being built by Yarrow Shipbuilders Ltd on the Clyde, this formidable vessel has since embarked on numerous global deployments. Its rich history is adorned with four battle honours earned during World War Two for its valiant contributions in North Africa, the Arctic, Sabang, and Burma. As an ambassador for Cumbria (formerly known as Cumberland), HMS Cumberland proudly represents its affiliated county. The ship maintains strong ties with various Sea Cadet Units, local schools, and even the esteemed Cumberland Hotel. This connection fosters a sense of pride within both crew members and residents alike. The presence of this Royal Navy Merlin helicopter further exemplifies modern warfare capabilities aboard HMS Cumberland. Equipped with cutting-edge technology and manned by highly skilled personnel, it symbolizes Britain's commitment to safeguarding international waters from criminal activities. Photographer POA (Phot) Sean Clee skillfully captures this momentous occasion where maritime power meets aerial supremacy. Through his lens, we are reminded of the unwavering dedication displayed by our armed forces in protecting our seas and upholding peace worldwide.
