In February 2009, HMS OCEAN headed East. In February 2010 she headed North of the Artic Circle before once again defying expectations of the most demanding sea training at FOST and was declared ready to deploy.

After a visit from Her Majesty the Queen in June the ship sailed West for Auriga 10 then headed South of the Equator and the South Atlantin. With a huge variety of aircraft, boats and people embarked, she made a positive impact wherever she went.

This book is her story in pictures and captures the memories of all those who served onboard.
