The ship's company on the HMS Ocean made this video after learning they would be home for Christmas. They arrive back on December 9 after 7½ months away - 225 days with 176 at sea, according to their YouTube page.
They were diverted to Libya after planning for a seven-week deployment. There are lots more details on the video page, but it's apparent they need to blow off some steam.
Mariah Carey tweeted to them last night: "This is the best thing I've ever seen, you guys just made my day! Happy Happy Christmas!!! x0x0 to the troops."
