The foremast is now in place on HMS Venturer - our first in class of the Type 31 frigates. Watch the timelapse footage as it travels from the Venturer Building to the dockside at our Rosyth facility, before being lifted into the air and expertly placed on the ship.

She’s back! Thanks to some skilful manoeuvring, HMS Queen Elizabeth has returned to Rosyth. This marks another major milestone in our 10 year dry-dock maintenance programme for the Royal Navy’s Queen Elizabeth Class aircraft carriers.

Last week we celebrated the Trafalgar-Class fleet. As part of our ongoing support spanning the lifecycle of these complex assets, we’re committed to safely managing their transition into the decommissioning phase. It's what lifetime engineering is all about.
Utterly. Brilliant. Boats. The Trafalgar class of hunter-killer submarines passed into history with the decommissioning of HMS Triumph in @HMNBDevonport, the last of 7 T boats which have patrolled beneath the waves for more than four decades. 🔗

We were proud to support the celebrations at Devonport yesterday, formally marking the end of HMS Astute’s first commission. After 15 years of continuous service around the globe, she’s being handed over to us for her multi-million-pound mid-life refit.
HM The Queen was today appointed Vice Admiral of the United Kingdom when she visited the submarine she sponsors, HMS Astute, in @HMNBDevonport. She met crew and families, thanking both for their stoicism and commitment to the safety of the UK.

It was great to welcome @RichParkerLab, Mayor of the West Midlands, to view our General Logistics Vehicle (GLV) family of 4x4s at our production facility in Walsall. As a key local employer, our work in the West Midlands plays an important role in supporting national security.
Defence spending means more jobs in our region. That’s why Labour’s backing fantastic firms like @Babcockplc - and we're ready support more brilliant businesses to grow, creating even more opportunities.
