The newest group of #URNU students had their first parade night at @URNUYorkshire on Tuesday! They all had their first taste of key parts of our parade nights; drill and shareholders.
We also all learnt more our about training staff who each gave 5 minute 'dits' on themselves.

Think we are in the safest marina in the country right now! We have the HMS Explorer here berthed inside the marina and 2 Belgian Navy Minehunters moored up just outside, as well as a French training ship for cadets of foreign navies!

Earlier this month four more OCs joined @HMSExplorer for the final phase of #BALTOPS. Their deployment started with enjoying the end of Kiel Week, before beginning the long transit home. The first leg was transiting the Kiel Canal to Cuxhaven, alongside three other P2000s.
