Those are questions answered in an online repository of interviews, photographs and memories of submariners to bring the Service past and present to life. |

@HMS_Tamar was incorporated within #ExerciseLaperouse, a multinational exercise in the Bay of Bengal, working alongside ships and personnel from Australia, Canada, Japan, India and the USA. The people of Tiverton bade farewell to their ship @HMSEnterprise as crew paraded through the Devon town for the last time. Did you know? 🤔 |
#1710NAS is the only unit that is able to analyse debris from aircraft: this allows #RoyalNavy scientists to give airworthiness recommendations so that aircraft can continue flying safely and in line with regulations. |
#BritishScienceWeek #BSW23 https://t.co/9cBKZmzrD4 A new generation of hunter-killer submarines will be built for the Royal Navy and @Australian_Navy after a deal between 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 🇦🇺. |

@hms_tamar helped authorities in Diego Garcia, British Indian Ocean Territory, deal with a huge illegal fishing haul and cleaned shorelines - rare turtles' nesting grounds - during a 3-week environment-focused visit. Honour those who fought - and won - the nation's longest, hardest battle this May 26-28 with 80th anniversary events marking the Battle of the Atlantic. |
Liverpool will be the venue for services, parades, sail/flypasts, demonstrations and displays. Through chattering teeth, we bring you the latest #RoyalNavy news. |
This week we’re with the @RoyalMarines in the Arctic but we’re also in the Antarctic with @hmsprotector and in warmer climes (Scotland!) with HMS Anson. https://t.co/rqTI1qztRl The National Museum of the Royal Navy needs to raise £30k to prevent an iconic piece of naval history being snapped up by a private collector. Go get it, @hms_albion! |
The UK's amphibious flagship has completed preparations on her route to the Arctic and has taken her place at the heart of a @JEFnations task group ahead of exercises off the coast of Norway. Smile, you're in the Western Isles. 🏴 |
@hms_mersey took some of the Navy's top young navigators around the lochs and inlets of western Scotland for 2 weeks of specialist training. Successful candidates will navigate capital ships in future. BZ. That's some serious firepower which will never reach its destination. 👏 |
@HMSLANCASTER, @815NAS and @42_commando pounced on a skiff in the Gulf of Oman after a high-speed chase, seizing an illegal haul of anti-tank weapons/ballistic missile parts. |

The US-led workout stretches from Kuwait to Kenya and the Red to Arabian Seas over 3 weeks. 👏 BZ to #CHF Engineer Harry McMillan who received the Live Your Life Award from the #FleetAirArm, for his dedication to his job, his community and his sport. @RNASYeovilton Officer Cadets have helped @RoyalMarines Captain Martin Jones raise over £6k for SANDS charity inspired by a family tragedy. |
They went on a 24-hour yomp around the grounds of @DartmouthBRNC, all the time carrying a bergen rucksack filled with 25kg weight. That's £6.4m which won't ruin lives - or fund criminal activities.👏 |
Royal Navy-led task force CTF150 pounced on a suspect fishing vessel - the force's second bust in a month. USCGC John Scheuerman struck in the Arabian Sea, seizing 1.6t of narcotics. Put a sock on it 🧦 |
A very big sock. Or 'onesie'. Or, officially, a cover sheet. Special protective sheets which shield Merlin helicopters from the extremes of Mother Nature are being used by @845NAS in #Norway so they can scramble more quickly. Are you watching Warship: Tour of Duty? |
This week HMS Queen Elizabeth nears the end of her journey and the crew are looking forward to returning home. |
Watch how they handle a critical moment with true grit and professionalism. |
