Putting on a show.
We thought as we are missing the #BournemouthAirFestival , why not do our own from RFA Cardigan Bay with @HMSArgyll’s Wildcat?

We hate saying goodbye.
HMS Ledbury and HMS Blyth leave #Bahrain one last time as they end their 3 year mission delivering 24/7 365 mine counter measures capability in the region and begin their journey back to the #UK . Fair winds and following seas.

Who said we got rid of rum rations?
The daily ration of rum may have been abolished 50 years ago today, but we still enjoy the occasional toast.

Leading the way.
COMUKMCMFOR, Commander Talbot, and his Chief of Staff Lieutenant Commander Cooper, receive the Royal Navy Sea Command and Principle Warfare Officer badges in #Recognition of their respective career achievements.
Today marks 85 years since the last Royal Navy ship was sunk in #WW2 . HMS VESTAL was a minesweeper attacked off the coast of Phuket, Thailand.
Events like this help us to remember the sacrifices of those in the MCM community that have come before us.

Her looks can be deceiving. Happy birthday to the longest serving ship in the Royal Navy!
39 years after commissioning, HMS Ledbury is as busy as she has ever been, on mine countermeasure duties in the Arabian Gulf.
