UK aircraft carrier in Indo-Pacific on rare deployment

  • On June 23, the Royal Navy’s flagship, HMS Prince of Wales, made its inaugural visit to Singapore’s Marina Bay Cruise Centre as part of an eight-month deployment across the Indo-Pacific region.
  • This visit follows the carrier's departure from Portsmouth in April as part of Operation Highmast, a UK-led deployment involving multinational exercises and security engagements across 30 countries.
  • HMS Prince of Wales leads a strike group with ships from Canada, Norway, Spain, and others, and will participate in joint exercises with Singapore, regional partners, the Five Power Defence Arrangements in September, and the Australia-led Exercise Talisman Sabre in July.
  • British High Commissioner Nik Mehta said the visit symbolizes enduring UK-Indo-Pacific commitment and partnership with Singapore as both countries mark 60 years of diplomatic relations.
  • The deployment demonstrates the UK's resolve to support regional stability amid global uncertainty, with Commodore James Blackmore affirming respect for international maritime rights and anticipating no conflict with China despite recent regional tensions.
