Today the NEWO visited the RN Leadership Academy. Engineering is just one part of the role—effective leadership is equally critical. Many thanks to the staff for an insightful visit. @HMS_Collingwood#AWEsoME
@HMSsultan is not just vital to today’s Royal Navy, it is fundamental to how we evolve for the future. For 70 years it has powered our engineering capability, and it continues to shape the skilled engineers our frontline will depend on for generations to come. #AwEsoME
For 70 years, HMS Sultan has been powering the Royal Navy's engineering capability. Today, that legacy continues, shaping the engineers our frontline needs for generations to come. #HMSSultan#PoweringNavalEngineering#RoyalNavy
These are exciting times ahead as we transition to a hybrid navy—blending cutting-edge autonomy with operational experience to meet tomorrow’s threats.

All engineers joining the RN now have the opportunity to become Chartered Engineers — a hugely important step in recognising the professionalism and expertise of our people. BZ to Lt Hawkins for his hard work with @IMarEST in helping make this happen, huge milestone. ⚓️👏
We were thrilled to attend @HMSsultan last week, and as part of a special signing ceremony, IMarEST President Professor Deborah Greaves honoured Head of Branch Cdre Stephen Large OBE with our defined route to chartership agreement, now open to Warrant Officer Class 2 Engineers.
Our families play a huge part in the success of the Royal Navy, and days like today are amazing to see. Fantastic to give AB (MW) Campbell the opportunity to reunite with his family in Portree while alongside the Isle of Skye — a special moment for all involved. ⚓️
One of our Ship’s Company, Able Seaman (Mine Warfare) Conor Campbell, is from the Isle of Skye. Today we made the most of the opportunity and landed him ashore to meet up with his family in Portree. A unique and happy experience for all!

Maintaining engineering excellence is what we all strive for — huge congratulations to Captain (E) David Swinbanks on receiving the inaugural Portland Port Award for Excellence 👏 A well-deserved recognition of his hard work, professionalism and commitment to the RFA. BZ #awesoME
Captain (E) David Swinbanks is pictured receiving his Portland Port Award for Excellence 👏 from Captain (E) Andy Dinnis on behalf of the RFA Head of Service. Capt Swinbanks won 🏆 this inaugural award due to his hard work and commitment to the RFA. BZ! @portlandharbour
🫡ATTENTION ON THE UPPER DECK...🥂
Recently, Crew1⃣ were pleased to welcome Commander UK Strike Force onboard, who was here to reacquaint himself with the crucial work we've been doing over the last 18 months (and with one of his old Ships🛳️...).
Most importantly, he was onboard to present the Wider Service Medal #WSM to some of our "Oppos". This medal recognises the important operations which takes us across the 7⃣🌊 over weeks, months and years.
BZ @HMSLedbury, and thanks to the Crew1⃣ family who we often leave at home!

The @RoyalNavy can be a 24/7 job, at sea we must be ready at all hours for any emergency 🚨
But somedays are a litte different…
Sometimes you are surfing in Tahiti with your mates! 🏄🏄♀️🏄♂️🌊
Adventure, sport, and tropical islands
There are worse ways to spend an afternoon☀️🏝️
Great to see FutureNEST driving innovation at CNE. If you’re early in your RN career and want to shape ideas at the senior level, this is a solid opportunity—get involved. #AWEsoME
With the @UKNEST_2017 FutureNEST team at @Navy_Leaders CNE.
If you are in the RN in the early years of your career and you are interested in innovating and having a say to support work happening at a senior level (any rank/rate and any branch) .. drop me a DM!
@RN_engineers 🙌🏻
Small steps toward a hybrid Navy—blending uncrewed tech with the punch and flexibility of conventional RN assets. Exactly the direction of travel for future maritime operations. #AWEsoME
Drones were launched, torpedoes dropped and flares cascaded over the waters in Norway, as #RoyalNavy Wildcat helicopters grappled with fast attack P2000 boats, exploited uncrewed technology and thwarted missile attacks during exercises with allies.

HMS Sultan hosted the MEGS Symposium during #LearningAtWorkWeek, bringing together naval engineers & industry leaders. IMarEST & IMechE presented on professional accreditation, with CPD certificates signed by the Chief Naval Engineer Officer. #LifelongLearning@RoyalNavy
Engineers from FSU visited Acua Ocean’s USV facility in Plymouth, exploring cutting-edge autonomous maritime tech. The visit showcased a versatile unmanned hub capable of deploying drones & underwater vehicles, highlighting future Royal Navy engineering innovation. #aWEsoME
Thank you to @HMSsultan for hosting this year’s MEGS Symposium. A great day with some amazing speakers, insightful discussions, and fantastic networking opportunities throughout. #awesoME
Great opportunity for all engineers to get along to this—worth checking out how FutureNEST can support your development and career progression. See you there ⚓️ #CNE2026#AWEsoME

Defence business leaders from across the south west UK were shown the latest drones used by the Royal Navy yesterday, at an open day for the South West Regional Defence and Security Cluster at the National Drone Hub #Predannack#Cornwall, hosted by company WholeShip & @RoyalNavy
Outstanding to see our young engineers leading from the front. Callum and the team are a brilliant example of how we empower and trust the next generation with real responsibility, developing the skills that keep us mission ready. Power to Command indeed — BZ all! 👏⚓ #awesoME
Stokers! Leading Engineer Technician Callum Shepherd, aged 25 from Fife, and his fellow Marine Engineers get stuck in carrying out routine repairs on one of our Diesel Generators. Our Stokers’ motto is ‘Power to Command’. Good work lads, BZ!
