As part of the Arctic Endurance exercise, the inspection ship Thetis and the French frigate Bretagne met in the North Atlantic and trained together. The Arctic Endurance exercise is a continuation of the exercises that were launched in 2025 and has the overall aim of strengthening security in the Arctic and the North Atlantic and thus NATO's northern flank. Therefore, a number of NATO partners are also participating in the exercise – both with ships, equipment, soldiers and planning.

HMS Mermaid (F76) was a single frigate which spent only five years of service under British flag. She was not part of any official program, originally she was ordered for the Ghana Navy, launched and completed as a private venture. But when Ghana disengaged from the purchase, the British Government purchased it back for the Royal Navy in 1972, commissioned in May 1973. Next, declared surplus after the last British Defence white paper under the new government, she was purchased by Malaysia, replacing another ex-British frigate, Hang Tuah. A training ship from 1992, she was refitted again and stayed active until 2018, before being turned into a museum ship, still around today.
