What a 12 months it has been for CATTISTOCK and Crew 5!

As we prepare to handover the ship to Crew 4, we reflect on the 118 days at sea and 7966nm steamed delivering assured mine and seabed warfare Operations around the UK

Being able to take our families and friends to sea today was a rare and unique opportunity to say thank you for the support network that exists to allow us to keep doing what we do 💪🏻

Maintaining links with the local community are an essential part of Port Visits. We were privileged to welcome on board Local Dignitaries, Borough of Poole Sea cadets and residents from the village of Cattistock.

After another busy period of Operations, it’s fantastic to be able to visit Poole this weekend for the first time since receiving the Freedom of the Town back in May 24.

Since September alone, we have spent 71 days at sea and travelled 4116NM, training and on Operations around the UK.

It isn’t possible without the commitment and dedication of the entire Ships Company, some of whom we recognised today.

From Whitehall to Scapa Flow, Royal Navy personnel paused to honour those who served before them during Remembrance weekend.

An absolute honour to pause and remember those that rest beneath the waters of Scapa Flow having paid the ultimate sacrifice.

We will remember them.

[Royal Navy in Scotland @RNinScotland]

⚓️ @hms_tyne and @HMSCattistock paused briefly to anchor together in Scapa Flow over #remembrance weekend - close to the wreck site of HMS Royal Oak which was sunk by a German U-Boat in 1939.
Each ship held its own service with wreaths being committed to sea.

Lest we forget…

[HMS Cattistock @HMSCattistock]

Cattistock and Crew 5 have completed BOST and are ready for operations.

What better way to celebrate than some challenging navigation through the Western Isles including passing under the Skye Bridge today.

On the eve of Crew 5 commencing an intense 5 week period of training with @FOST, @Dominos_UK provided tonight’s evening meal to allow our Chefs to fully prepare the galley.

Thank you to @MerchantTaylor1 for supporting and making it possible.

The sun sets on another week back at sea as Cattistock and Crew 5 continue to prepare for Operational Sea Training @FOST

[HMS Cattistock @HMSCattistock]

Great to work with our colleagues from @OverseasPatrol and @hmssevern. Coordinated departures involve ships operating in close proximity using tactical signals to manoeuvre. Requires precision planning and execution 👌🏻

Looking fantastic as ever @PS_Waverley 👍🏻 great to see you today 💨 🌊

[Merchant Taylors' Company @MerchantTaylor1]

A huge thank you for the incredible opportunity and warm hospitality aboard HMS Cattistock.
Spending the day with the crew gave us a powerful insight into life at sea - the dedication, challenges, and camaraderie that define their service.

[HMS Cattistock @HMSCattistock]

Fantastic to be back at sea after Summer leave and always a pleasure to host @MerchantTaylor1 giving them an insight to life at sea.

It was a privilege to visit @HMSCattistock, who play a vital role ensuring freedom of navigation by using innovative technology to clear the oceans of hidden dangers.
