The NATO Submarine Rescue System has completed a rapid response exercise that proves it can be flown by @RoyalAirForce anywhere in the 🌍.
Using a simulator that had the dimensions and deck arrangement of a C-17 Globemaster, the exercise is key to ensuring this capable system.
From celebrating the US 250 anniversary and UK-US Naval partnership 🇬🇧🇺🇸⚓️ to highlighting the JEF, High North, shipbuilding innovation 🛳️ and HMNB Clyde transformation 🔱, the @RoyalNavy was proud to welcome guests to the 2026 Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo! 🎉🎊

A real privilege to visit the team delivering the nation’s nuclear deterrent. Amazing people across the enterprise who make this mission possible. Delighted to be able to present dolphins to our newest submariners — a traditional tot to mark the occasion.

The purchase of the Finnart Oil Terminal ensures the @RoyalNavy and @NATO will have access to reliable fuel supplies for our warships.
It will also become a new mine hunting base for the Hybrid Navy.
More resilient, more ready for warfighting.

Project Royal Oak is the biggest naval base overhaul in 45 years - £26 billion to modernise HMNB Clyde, Devonport, and Portsmouth. ⚓
Construction is already underway at Clyde which will transform the base, reinforcing Scotland’s central role in the UK’s defence industrial base.
Two deployable additive manufacturing workshops have arrived at HMNB Clyde, giving Royal Navy engineers the ability to scan, design and 3D print critical submarine components on-site. This capability will help return submarines to operations faster and strengthen fleet readiness
