Singapore, 27 July 2021
Ships from the UK’s Carrier Strike Group, led by the aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth, performed an exercise with the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) yesterday (26 July).

HMS Queen Elizabeth, aircraft carrier
HMS Kent, Type 23 anti-submarine frigate
HNLMS Evertsen, De Zeven Provicien-class frigate (Royal Netherlands Navy)
