At sunset at Glen Mallan, the barge carrying the ship was sunk into the waters and the ship was successfully floated off. Rugby League, athletics, indoor rowing and bobsleigh took the spotlight as athletes were honoured at the Royal Navy Sports Awards. |
The awards, held at Lord’s Cricket Ground in London, saw 48 citations from 27 different sports compete for the six awards. Sailors and @RoyalMarines from @hmsprotector, along with the @AntarcticHT shifted tonnes of snow to dig out an isolated Antarctic scientific base, Port Lockroy. Best of luck @England 🇬🇧 ⚽ |

Today she passed the Titan Crane and Erskine Bridge https://t.co/TeqwfDayrP A heart-warming tale for you this Tuesday... |
Royal Navy aviators from @845NAS took in a stray puppy during a storm while deployed in Montenegro. They fed her and became firm friends... now they're raising funds to bring her back to the UK. |
🔽 A group of friends have raised nearly £3K in support of CPO Graham ‘Sid’ Street’s favourite charity, Charlie’s Beach Hut, after he died earlier this year following a five-year fight with bowel cancer. Welcome home, @HMSDefender... |
Baltic, Arctic, Mediterranean, it's been a jam-packed year for the Type 45 destroyer, which has clocked up more than 27,000 nautical miles on operations in 2022. Sailors of HMS Artful have scooped a @womenindefence award for their efforts to make their boat a better place to live and work... and a more effective military machine. |
Lt Cdr Annabel Roberts was also recognised having been instrumental in bringing @HMSDauntless back to sea. Type 26 frigate #HMSGlasgow will enter the water for the first time today as she continues the next phase of her build. She will be secured on to a barge which will then be lowered slowly into the water. Currently weighing 6,000 tonnes, Glasgow will be towed to Scotstoun. BZ Team 👏 From stopping drugs smugglers and terrorists to leading global deployments… |
Eight Royal Navy sailors have been recognised on the 58th Operational Honours and Awards List. How about a bit of 💥 on an otherwise cold, drab autumn day? |
Eleven Type 23s and Type 45 will get the 5th generation Naval Strike Missile to replace the venerable Harpoon anti-ship weapon from next year, after the MOD signed an agreement with the Norwegian Government. 🇬🇧 🇳🇴 Precision and focus were the order of the day as @HMSQNLZ was guided into Oslo on one of the narrowest harbour entries in her lifetime. |
The flagship is now in Norway's capital for a visit that will deepen the already strong bond between two #NATO allies. |
🇬🇧🇳🇴 |
