Yesterday I had the pleasure of visiting @RFAMountsBay.
The Royal Fleet Auxiliary is essential to everything the @RoyalNavy does.
Its people sustain our ships, move equipment, support operations and enable the Fleet to remain at sea.

🌙🌈 A little magic at sea…
Under the glow of a full Moon, a rare lunar rainbow — or “moonbow” — appeared across the night sky. A spectacular reminder that there’s always something extraordinary to spot from the bridge.

Tideforce, the last ship of the Tide class visited the last port of call for the Titanic for a weekend of downtime in August. Berthed just north of Cobh, the crew spent time in Cobh and Cork before a passex with the Irish Navy signalled return to normality

Father and Son reunited at sea.
PO Chef Jamie was joined by his father Kevin for our last sea phase prior to arrival at Portland with almost half a century in combined sea time. Even now Jaime still needs his Dad to fix things for him in the Galley!
