HMS Portland is keeping a close eye on Russian-guided missile frigate Admiral Gorshkov, and its accompanying tanker, the Kama, as they make their way through international waters in the North Sea.

The British Type 23 frigate is currently working alongside the Norwegian Coast Guard vessel Bergen as the Russian ships transit through the Norwegian Sea.

The Royal Navy say here:

“The Type 23 frigate joined the Norwegian Coast Guard vessel Bergen, as the Russian ships transited south through the Norwegian Sea. Portland with her specialist Merlin helicopter embarked – both equipped with cutting-edge sonars, sensors and torpedoes for specialist operations – is tracking and reporting on the movements of the Russian ships through the North Sea.”
