FADM Chester Nimitz believed the U.S was fortunate that the attack on Pearl Harbor came as a surprise. Had the U.S. known of the approaching Japanese fleet, the American fleet would have been sent to intercept it and then been entirely lost to a superior force. #PearlHarborDay

This morning I gave a call to action at my International Sea Power Conference. I'm really looking forward to discussing how we are going to sustain our warfighting advantage, building on the blocks that we have already put in place. It's going to be a good day. #ISPC2025

We’re back! HMS SEVERN returned to Portsmouth this afternoon following a 10-month refit period in Falmouth. Training and full regeneration await, but first it’s time to enjoy the Pompey sun!
