Nicely done. Well done and thanks to the lads and lasses of the RN and RFA. 🇬🇧
Praise the lord and pass the ammunition, plays loudly
Go forward, Great-Britain! Long live the Nato! Long live freedom! Down with all dictatorships and terrorists all around the world! Best wishes from Germany!
My best regards from Zaporozhye (Ukraine).Many thanks for video. 🙂🇺🇦🤝🇬🇧,🇬🇧⚓💪👍✨
For all the time I was in "The Andrew" I never witnessed a R A S as I was on watch either in the boiler room or engine room, we left all that to the sailors and Bootnicks to do.
Great work
Ammo ? Huh. Kentucky fried chicken and a Pizza hut.
Excellent!
How I miss these exercises 👍
Nice video 👍👍
Love you UK
I suppose in time we'll see drones infiltrating into this type of RAS operation via the heli-decks.
On Diomede in the late 80's, it was the S&S who did the RASs. However when the weather was flat, calm and sunny, the buffer so 'dont worry, the seamen will do tbe ras'. We told him to jog the fck on, we were doing it, it was our job. Im not sure who decided that the S&S were doing them or if it was a fleet thing or just Diomede.
Aahahaa😍😍😍😍😍
Ah, that brings back the memories, from the days where the deck hands worked the winches by hand and all they wore were shorts and flip-flops, while working the point. Then ‘health and safety’ got involved and things look very professional now.
Easier than on a building site.
HMS Richmond was "Making good way" in the approach shot - in that situation how do they quickly stick the brakes on ? Can the props give reverse pitch ?
@navylookout, More please, we want to get our RAS bonus!
how do they get the cable across? do they throw it across, or use a boat to transfer the cable?
