#OnThisDay 1920 Admiral of the Fleet Lord Fisher died aged 79. He joined @RoyalNavy in 1854 & over his stellar career was famous as an innovator. He revised tactics, introduced the Battleship and created the phrase OMG. He left after his second spell as First Sea Lord in 1915.

I couldn't agree more Keira. I was a Sea Cadet. The experiences, fun and friends i had set me up for life. BZ to Keira and all Cadets!

The Royal Navy really does offer many life opportunities. You will make friends for life and have experiences that will stay with you forever. Give your ambition a chance!

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!

What a brilliant photo! Check out how the wakes of the ships cross in the middle. Flashback to Exercise #MedStrike off Italy this month, involving 🇬🇧 aircraft carrier @HMSPWLS and the 🇮🇹@ItalianNavy carrier Cavour. A total of 21 ships. 41 jets. 3 submarines #MedStrike #CSG25

Today, on #AnzacDay, The King has paid tribute to all Australians and New Zealanders who have served and died in wars, conflicts, and peace keeping operations. This year is particularly poignant as commemorations take place to mark the 110th anniversary of the first landings at

Fair winds and followings seas to Op Highmast. Sail… Normalise… Operate… Strike? Priority right now, get the f*** away from the FOST exercise areas🤣 Lots to do and certainly ‘interesting’ timing🫡 https://t.co/Kd8nirDqGa

#CSG25 an important moment for 🇬🇧 in #NATO. Providing a high readiness carrier group with 5th gen air power is a key capability offer to the Alliance and this deployment will demonstrate what that looks like at full strength in NATO waters. Great to have 🇳🇴 on board too.

It was a real privilege to welcome @Keir_Starmer and @JohnHealey_MP to meet the #CSG25 sailors, aviators and crew onboard @HMSPWLS taking part in Op Highmast and for wishing us “fair winds and following seas” en route to the Indo-Pacific. #OpHighmast #readyforOps

#OnThisDay 1807 the Abolition of Slave Trade act gains Royal assent making trade of African slaves illegal in the Empire. In the decades that followed the Royal Navy captured over 1600 ships, freeing over 150,000 slaves. The cost was 2% of Government spending or half of RN budget

Yesterday, the ship’s company marked Commonwealth Day with freshly baked scones for afternoon tea as well as a Caribbean themed night in the galley. We pay tribute to those members of the ship’s company who come from the many nations and territories across the Commonwealth.

What an extraordinary feat of composition this picture is - to get the subjects in a perfect moment, while the F35 is blasting off, framed in the window. To whoever took it, I salute you 🫡

‘Nato is advised by its intelligence services that Putin will be ready in six months to take on western Europe’. Total🐴💩

Here are some genuine fake news that the Whitehouse now spouts: 1. We have given over double what Europe has to Ukraine. ❌ In fact Europe has given more. 1/3
