We had the honour and privilege of taking part in the Oban Armistice Day Parade today. The Ship’s Company were honoured to form a central part of the parade to commemorate 100 years of the memorial in Oban.

Over the past two days we’ve made our way round the Mull of Kintyre, through the Sound of Islay and the Sound of Mull. Penzance is now looking forward to participating in Remembrance weekend in Oban representing the Royal Navy at the parade in town. @RNinScotland

[HMS Penzance @HMSPenzance]

Last week ships company has been keeping their weapon handling in date. As standard practice, all watch keepers are to ensure they know how to handle an SA80 safely and confidently every 100 days. Marksmen all round. #BullsEye
