HMS SCOTT extends its sincere thanks to WO1 Grahame Bridge for his unwavering support throughout the ship’s regeneration period. As a small token of our appreciation, Cdr Tom Becker presented Grahame with a commemorative print, generously funded through a Herbert Lott Grant.

HMS Scott departs Falmouth following an extended refit. A lot of hard work from a lot of people to get her to this point. Fair winds and following seas. ⚓ #RoyalNavy #HMSScott #Falmouth
