Thank you @HMSBlyth and @HmsRamsey. These highly capable ships have provided decades of sterling service. As the @RoyalNavy continues the development of autonomous systems their replacements will offer the Navy and the Nation improvements in safety, cost, portability, and agility

A poignant time for Crew 2, as we yesterday decommissioned the Ship which has been home for so many over the years. Many thanks go to @CDRETNEILD, @RMBandService and our myriad guests and affiliates who helped make the day and the parade so special

This is not the end for the Crew however, as we look forward to building up to operations on @HMSGrimsby after some well earned summer leave. To what the future brings!

Farewell old friend.
Today @CO101RA attended the decommissioning of @HMSBlyth at Rosyth Royal Dockyard.
Our 203 (Elswick) Battery based in Blyth had a long standing affiliation with Blyth, many of our Reservists had the opportunity to exchange visits with the ship and its crew

A great day with @HMSBlyth visiting her affiliated town. It was a pleasure to host @BlythTC and associated delegates onboard for a reception, thank you CO Blyth for your outstanding hospitality. Earlier today, crests were exchanged as is customary for calls on the Town Mayor.
