Today the UK and Netherlands agreed to build a new generation of amphibious transport ships together, building on our historic 50-year partnership

These ships will be built in the UK and enable our @RoyalMarines to rapidly deploy and strike from the sea

It’s @ArmedForcesDay

From training and innovation to operations around the globe, #RoyalNavy personnel play a vital role in defending the UK and deterring those who threaten our security.

Thank you for keeping the UK secure at home and strong abroad.

#RoyalMarines from @47CdoRM are proud to support @ArmedForcesDay in Plymouth today.

A great opportunity to say thanks to everyone serving, everyone who has served, and the families and friends who stand behind them. We’re proud to be part of the team.

It’s phenomenally difficult. It’s genuinely intimidating.

Watch here how Commandos conduct a boarding such as this: https://t.co/kqbCteZ4lp

[Royal Navy @RoyalNavy]

The #RoyalNavy led the interdiction of a shadow fleet tanker in the Channel, with @HMSSutherland and @HMSLedbury on task as @RoyalMarines boarded via helicopter.

@hms_tyne and @hms_mersey were also on duty as they intercepted a Russian frigate.

This morning, UK forces boarded a Russian tanker in the English Channel that was secretly helping to bankroll Putin's war in Ukraine.

The first operation of its kind led by British forces, and a clear message: there is nowhere to hide.

[Royal Marines @RoyalMarines]

Goodbye 3 Commando Brigade, and we thank you. Welcome, UK Commando Force.

The name change - formally announced by HM The King while presenting the Royal Marines with new Colours - reflects a decade of transformation.

History in the making.

Royal Marines prepare for the new colours ceremony.

“These Colours represent more than tradition; they carry the operational history, sacrifice and spirit of the Royal Marines, from our origins in 1664 through to the modern Commando Force."

2/2 Among them, was Lt Fisher, the first Royal Navy female to earn the Green Beret by completing the All Arms Commando Course, inspiring all who served alongside her. Our condolences are with the families, friends, and loved ones of all affected during this difficult time.

[Royal Marines @RoyalMarines]

1/2 Our thoughts are with the families, friends, and comrades of Lt Cdr Chris Gayson, Lt Lily-Mae Fisher and PO Owen Green, who died when their helicopter crashed in Devon.

Cherished members of the Commando Helicopter Force, all three will never be forgotten.

A rigorous test of commando skills...
