HMS PRINCE OF WALES – Amid growing Russian threats in the Arctic, the U.K. Royal Navy has deployed its flagship aircraft carrier to deter Moscow’s incursions into strategic waterways.

As a sign of the tension in the area, in early July, a Russian plane flew close to the carrier and dropped a large number of sonar trackers in its path, before British F-35 jets scrambled to escort the plane away.

WSJ’s Sune Rasmussen goes on board the ship to understand how NATO is working to confront Russia in the High North.
