Carefully manoeuvring into the lock ahead of @lloydsregister diving inspections on the hull!
The shelter of the lock protects divers from strong Portsmouth tides and makes is easier for them to work.

Keeping up skills in the bridge simulator!
Lots of opportunites for the bridge team to practise many different and complex serials as we train towards returning to sea!

You might expect a son joining the same ship as his father would mean a fresh faced and newly minted sailor... but not in our case!
When you've been in for 39 years your son can join as a grizzled Petty Officer instead!

Swapped our steel 'cave' for the real thing!
For our more intrepid members of the Ship's Company, a few days underground caving in the Mendip Hills. All developing skills and experiences.

It's over a decade since ACM Sir Rich Knighton last visited the Ship in his then capacity as Station Commander of @RAF_Wittering.
This time he stopped by as @UKCDS_MOD to check our progress! 🛠🚢
Don't leave it so long next time, Sir!

Last weekend we proudly paraded the streets of our affiliated city, Leicester, for Armed Forces Day.
We toured @LeicesterTigers and @LCFC grounds. The teams have definitely gained some fans in the ships company.
