The British Royal Navy Duke-class frigate HMS Sutherland (F81) pulls into Naval Station Norfolk during Auriga 2010, the British Royal Navy's major deployment of 2010 to the eastern seaboard of North America and western Atlantic. The Carrier Strike Lead Task Group, with approximately 2,000 United Kingdom, U.S. and French personnel, will focus on a series of U.S. and Canadian exercises with the principal aim of enhancing operational capability by training with coalition partners in traditional war-fighting areas of carrier strike, amphibious assault and anti-submarine warfare operations.
