Hi. I don't see any value in this little section, it is incomplete, and will be out of every few months. Chwyatt (talk) 15:13, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Big update 21/01/2022, added new section and a table

The page was looking somewhat meagre and not updated. I came here to see what the previous deployments were and could not find any, so I scoured the SNMG1 twitter for hours to make an accurate timeline of the 2021 deployment, much more in-depth than what is currently on the site (message me for the full pdf). I have added a table, this table can be filled whenever a new ship joins and at the end of the year it can be cut and pasted into the "Previous Deployments" section. The table speaks for itself, but to avoid confusing this is what the columns mean:

Year: Year of deployment, SNMG1 follows the calendar year quite precisely switching command around the end of December, beginning of January.
Commander: The commander for that year.
Ship: Ship name including flag.
Type: Type of ship, ambiguity is possible due to differences in designation by different countries, e.g. the FS Bretagne is considered a Frigate by the French Navy but is a de-facto Destroyer according to most other navies.
Part of task force: All the date ranges where the ship was part of the SNMG1 task force. This means full integration, not a RAS or exercise. This is usually communicated by NATO via various outlets and also by the corresponding navies.
Flagship: Dates where the ship was the Flagship, n/a if the ship was never the flagship that year

If a ship was a Flagship during the deployment year the row shall be made light purple, #cbcefb

At the bottom of the 2021 year I also added a list of all the exercises that the task force took part in with the dates and locations.

Feel free to add, expand and cite more. If you think there are better ways to show this, do tell.
