Deployed overseas over the Holiday period are the following:

HMS Bangor, HMS Blythe, HMS Ledbury and HMS Middleton, supported by RFA Cardigan Bay and Fort Rosalie all conducting maritime security activity in the Gulf, with 849 NAS AWaCS Sea Kings embarked on Fort Rosalie.

RFA Mounts Bay is on patrol in the Caribbean.

HMS Clyde on duty in the South Atlantic with HMS Protector on survey duties.

HMS Enterprise is flagship of Standing Mine countermeasures Group 2 in the Mediterranean.

HMS Echo is conducting counter migrant operations in the Aegean.

One unidentified SSBN is on deterrent patrol "somewhere"

Six RN vessels in the UK are on Fleet Ready Escort standby.

A Type 45 AAW Destroyer is readying to deploy in early January to the Gulf.

A Type 45 AAW Destroyer will take over in early January as flagship of a NATO task group.

All of the above from the ROYAL NAVY, who I would trust more to know where their vessels are than that inaccurate poorly informed rag the Torygraph.
