The Ship has arrived in Falmouth. We’ve had an incredible 4 weeks operating in the seas around Great Britain. 24 days at sea, 2950nm steamed. Tons of experience gained and countless personal memories made. BZ to the Ship’s Company for their brilliant work.

Congratulations to Lt Cdr Abbey named runner-up for Leadership in Operational Excellence at the First Sea Lord’s Symposium. As MEO in @HMSDuncan, she drove exceptional performance on deployment—keeping the ship on task despite major defects. #awesoME @RoyalNavy

Between the two ships, that's over 80 years of sea service still flying the White Ensign — proof that good engineering and a bit of naval stubbornness go a long way.
BZs to the engineering teams past and present who keep these old girls where they belong: at sea #aWEsoME

A grey but great day to see our younger sister 👶 at sea whilst we were at anchor 🌊 ⚓️ ! A rather unconventional position for us to carry out @RoyalNavy ceremonial, but a necessary honour all the same!
See you very soon @HMSMiddleton 🫡

Thanks to @HMSsultan for inviting us to their STEM-tastic event, SULSTEMIC!
Our apprentice Connor even got involved with the famous Super Sentinel Steam Waggon!

Fantastic to see the next generation of marine engineers developing the skills that keep ships operational at sea. ET(ME) Warrender and Rahmann, both 18, getting stuck into maintenance and breakdown drills. Future leaders in the making. #Stokers #awesoME

NEWO spent time in @HMSSultan machine shop today. Great to see our young engineers still learning the craft by hand. And some things never change — the machine shop smells exactly the same as it did 30 years ago. #awesoME

Nearest petrol station? It doesn’t get closer than this—it comes to us.
RAS keeps @HMSDragon fuelled and mission-ready without ever leaving station. One of the most demanding and potentially dangerous evolutions we carry out—but still great fun when it all comes together.#awesoME

Nearest petrol station? We don’t go to it— it comes to us ⛽️
Replenishment at Sea (RAS) keeps us fuelled and operational, without leaving our station.

Today our sailors lined the route to honour Jack as he made his final journey.
Separated by nearly 9 decades, united by the same service.
The freedoms we enjoy were secured by the generation he belonged to.
From us all at @HMS_Collingwood
Fair winds and following seas, Jack.
