Plymouth-based warship HMS Richmond kept constant watch on Russian frigate Admiral Grigorovich, tracking her in the North Sea and maintaining permanent contact.
Type 23 frigate Richmond was in Stavanger, Norway, for NATO trials and training when she was deployed to monitor the Grigorovich.
After first monitoring their activity in the North Sea, Richmond with her 185-strong crew continued to shadow the Russian warship through the Dover Strait and down towards the Mediterranean Sea – all the while contending with choppy conditions in the wake of Storm Ciarán.
