Falmouth naval officer Commander Adam Coles has been on deployment to the Baltic in his ship HMS Echo, operating with a Lithuanian naval vessel having strong links with this port.
Adam, who lives in Falmouth with his wife and two children, is in command of the Royal Navy hydrographic survey vessel HMS Echo which has been in the Baltic Sea working closely alongside the Lithuanian Navy on operations to hunt for historic ordnance.
Echo, a ship well known in Falmouth waters was joined by former British Hunt-class minehunter HMS Dulverton which now belongs to the Lithuanian Naval Force as LNS Kursis.
