The British Royal Navy and NATO allies jumped into action on Saturday as a Russian warship was spotted sailing through the English Channel, according to a report.

UK warships greeted the Russian frigate called Admiral Golovko near Plymouth, Eng., with a frigate of their own which was aided by a naval helicopter, according to the Royal Navy.

“[His Majesty’s Ship] St. Albans is at very high readiness to operate whenever, and wherever, the nation needs us in the protection of our home and the waters surrounding it,” the responding ship’s commanding officer Matt Teare said.

“HMS St. Albans is currently operating as part of a NATO Task Group and the regularity of Russian activity around the United Kingdom reinforces the vital importance of continuous integration with our allies and partners,” Commander Teare said.
