We are proud to be officially affiliated with the city of Stirling and the territory of Gibraltar - two remarkable places defined by iconic rock formations and, more importantly by the wonderful people who call them home

We are honoured to share this bond of friendship with them

We have completed the delivery of uncrewed MCM vessels to @RFALymeBay in Gibraltar for the first time.

A great view of HMS Stirling Castle, captured by a member of our ship’s company, just ahead of us sailing from Portland yesterday. ⚓️🌊🌈

What is the difference between and boat and a ship?
Well one difference is that a ship can carry a boat but a boat cannot carry a ship, as we have demonstrated this morning by embarking a PAC 24 and RN PODS 🚤

Thank you for having me!

This is aviation history.

The UK's first pilotless helicopter, Proteus, has made its debut in the skies. 🚁

Designed by @Leonardo_UK, the autonomous helicopter made 2 short flights in Cornwall. It will serve as a testbed for future hybrid air wings.

It was a pleasure to host @ruantremayne of @RichardsonUK onboard Stirling Castle. Their generous support of the ship’s company is greatly appreciated. In-depth knowledge of operating large cranes, along with advice & insight shared with our operators was invaluable

[Richardson @RichardsonUK]

Pleasure to visit @HMS_Str_Castle to present the donation from the Richardson Brothers Foundation to the vessel's welfare fund.

The ship is at the forefront of the Royal Navy’s mine hunting capabilities and is manned by a fantastic crew.

Best of British! 🇬🇧

A shiny milestone for HMS Stirling Castle! We were delighted to receive our commissioning silver from @Langfords1937 ahead of our official commissioning later this year. A treasured tradition — and we promise to keep it polished!

[HMS Stirling Castle @HMS_Str_Castle]

We’re delighted to share the progress being made on HMS Stirling Castle’s commissioning silver.
Created by the renowned silversmiths at @langfords1937, the design draws directly from the ship’s crest.
Another step towards our Commissioning Ceremony. ⚓️
