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.

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.

From the Forth to the fleet. 🚢 The Type 31 ships built at Rosyth will patrol the world's oceans, protect the UK's interests and carry the pride of Scottish shipbuilding for the next 30 years. @wesstreeting visited @Babcockplc this week to see what "Backing British" looks like.

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.

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
