Submariners from #HMNBClyde made the pilgrimage to Bridgend in south Wales to honour forebears lost in #WW2 boat HMS Urge.

She was adopted by Bridgenders who raised £300k - £35m today - but was lost to a mine off Malta in April 1942. @RNinScotland

Huge thanks to @forthports for all their support!

[First Sea Lord and Chief of Naval Staff @GenGJenkinsRM]

I was honoured to welcome home our submariners and meet their families. Their quiet professionalism delivering the UK’s Continuous At Sea Deterrent without pause is inspirational.

My thanks to all who serve, above and below the surface. 🇬🇧⚓️

125 years of the Royal Navy Submarine Service.⚓️

Here’s to all who have served below the surface - past and present.

They protect. They deter. They defend.

It’s open! 🎉

Vice Admiral Johnny Wolfe, US Director of Strategic Programs cut the ribbon and was accompanied by Rear Admiral Robbie Lauchlan, the UK’s Chief Strategic Systems Executive.

The new facility will train new submariners who’ll operate the new deterrents.

@RoyalNavy, @SDA_mod, and @JFDGlobal personnel have completed a four day NATO Submarine Rescue System exercise in Fort William.

As the Submarine Service marks 125 years, this training keeps crew at constant readiness to deploy and rescue submariners globally.

[First Sea Lord and Chief of Naval Staff @GenGJenkinsRM]

Skilled. Adaptable. Ready.

The @RoyalNavy is working with @BritishArmy engineers, using agile ways of working to build workshops for key maintenance at @HMNBClyde.

[First Sea Lord and Chief of Naval Staff @GenGJenkinsRM]

Yesterday I visited @HMNBClyde with @ChiefDefNuclear to see progress in action to deliver the Submarine Maintenance Recovery plan.

The nuclear deterrent is my number one priority and that is a whole force effort.

[First Sea Lord and Chief of Naval Staff @GenGJenkinsRM]

Today I trained alongside @RoyalMarines and personnel and saw first-hand the commitment it takes to remain warfighting ready.

[First Sea Lord and Chief of Naval Staff @GenGJenkinsRM]

The Type 31 frigates built by @Babcockplc show where the @RoyalNavy is heading: a hybrid navy, with capable crewed platforms at the core, integrating new technologies to deliver success through Atlantic bastion.

[Royal Navy in Scotland @RNinScotland]

Last year, during an operational deployment of the Continuous At Sea Deterrent (CASD), the crew of HMS Vengeance raised a remarkable £4,880 for @submarinefamily @EndometriosisUK and the Onboard Welfare Fund 🎉👏
