Samuel posted on his "Twitter" account (Tuesday December 6, 2016) a video of him on board the "HMS Ocean" warship; the biggest ship in the UK Royal Fleet. He clarified that the presence of the ship in the port demonstrated the UK's commitment to the Gulf Security, adding that its current duty is to detect mines in the Strait of Hormuz.
