Nearly 200 Royal Navy sailors were called back from Christmas leave to shadow three Russian warships for 500 miles in the North Sea and English Channel. HMS Somerset monitored the Russian corvette RFS Soobrazitelny and two support vessels, MV Sparta II and MV General Skobelev, until December 31. The operation aimed to ensure maritime security and deter any potential threats.
