The pictures have all been taken by the Royal Navy’s own dedicated photographers, who are behind the lens capturing the significant moments as the Senior Service carries out missions across the world’s oceans, in the skies and on land, from Arctic to desert and jungle.
These skilled photographers – all of them serving sailors or Royal Marines – have been recognised for their stunning imagery in the navy’s annual photographic competition, the Peregrine Trophy.
