A day at sea on HDMS Peter Willemoes learning from the Royal Danish Navy's experience of operating the platform on which Venturer's design is based. An incredible, professional, and welcoming crew. And a pleasure to sail with the Chief of the RDN. #nextgenfrigate
Privileged to welcome Venturer's sponsor, Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal to the Ship for the first time. More detail in the article linked below 👇. A particularly memorable occasion for Leading Hand Adam Duncan who was presented his LSGC medal by HRH. #nextgenfrigate
The Type 31 team has successfully completed another milestone for HMSVenturer. Drop stern involves removing all support brackets from the aft end of the ship and, using ballast weights, to allow the stern to settle at its design position. #deliveringinspiration #nextgenfrigate
Nice to see HMSVenturer taking part in Poppyscotland Light up Red. Won’t be able to gain access to the dockyard, here’s an image from the website. #LestWeForget
I am so excited by the on going builds of HMS Cardiff, HMS Belfast, HMSVenturer HMS Agamemnon, HMS Agincourt & HMS Dreadnaught and the fit-out & trials of HMS Glasgow and HMS Anson & look forward to welcoming a good few of them to Portsmouth. A strong RN is a strong Britain 🇬🇧

The Future frigates of the Royal Navy HMSVenturer and HMS_Glasgow but can not decide the ones I like yet.
Our Type 31 team, along with the Royal Navy’s Rear Admiral Ivan Finn and senior personnel from Defence Equipment & Support visited Thales Group for a programme visit. The group saw the T31 Combat System set up before the hardware is packaged and sent to Rosyth for installation. HMSVenturer
Some incredible sleuthing by our generous affiliates, the Worshipful Company of Ironmongers, has put us in contact with the family of Jimmy Launders, Captain of the submarine who's deeds inspired our name. A fascinating dive into the Ship's heritage Ironmongers' Hall. #nextgenfrigate

#OnThisDay 1995 Rosyth Naval Base closed, MCM Squadrons still based there moved to HM Naval Base Clyde & HMNB Portsmouth Though no longer a Fleet base, the yard still has a heavy naval use for repair and shipbuilding. HMS Queen Elizabeth & HMS Prince of Wales built there as is HMSVenturer and the Type 31s
I am really pleased that Essex is to be affiliated with HMSVenturer following early conversations for Southend to form an affiliation with a warship. As a county, we have played a historic and active part in our country’s maritime tradition which continues with HMS Venturer🇬🇧
