Of late it seems the Silent Service hasn't been that silent on this platform and has been quite vocal about the many great attributes of being a submariner as well as the tough life onboard. As a former skimmer (surface ships) I'd just like to highlight the hardships on a submarine might not be as tough as they portray, please note not to be seen by baddies! "Lose lips sinks ships" Just for some context there has always been great rivalry and banter between those who go on the water and those who go under it, ultimately we're all sailors. As I normally post on energy please note the submarine has solar PV paired with batteries for extended periods of silent operation 😉 Have a great Sunday ⚓️

It has been a busy few days for myself and the team from Varivane Industries Ltd. We were required to react very quickly to an urgent task that needed our presence on HMS Trent to complete some on site repairs in Malta. Job completed, our thanks to the Royal Navy, Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S) and UK Docks Marine Services for hosting us and ensuring we had all we needed to carry out the task. #sme #smallbusiness #ukmanufacturing #hmstrent #royalnavy #varivane #strongertogether #malta

We are investing in reliable and robust technologies to enable autonomous missions. Last year we held successful sea trials of our launch and recovery cradle developed in collaboration with Sealartec. It enables safe, controlled launch and recovery of autonomous vessels, day or night and in high sea states. We are investing in autonomy beyond just the platforms, from integrated capabilities that provide flexibility, to enabling technologies that support integration with a wider fleet or assets, we are enhancing operations at sea. #MaritimeAdvantage #InvisibleCrew #Nautomate

Twenty years ago today (Boxing Day) I was filming for the BBC on HMS Chatham. We’d stopped in Dubai for a well deserved run ashore after a gruelling Christmas patrol in the Gulf on the lookout for gun runners. I was planning to fly home whilst the exhausted sailors enjoyed their new year ashore. But then Captain Steve Chick, a natural born leader, called me to his cabin to say "Chris, you might want to stay with us". The Boxing Day tsunami had struck with a vengeance further south and he’d received orders to cancel all leave and head for the east coast of Sri Lanka without delay. I did stay and watched in amazement as the Royal Navy frigate set sail almost immediately and, en route, transformed from a ship of war to a ship of mercy. This was named Operation Garron and, because Steve Chick didn’t spare the horses, we were the first on the scene where death and destruction were widespread. Over the next two weeks I filmed with emotional pride as the men and women of HMS Chatham did all they could for the people of Baticoloa & Kellar, the coastal area which had taken the brunt of the wave. We were soon joined by RFA Diligence and the two ship's companies faced up to the huge task ahead in perfect harmony and coordination. Burly stokers and Royal Marines joined with chefs, writers and gunners to set about the grizzly task of burying bodies but also making buildings safe, powering up generators, distributing rations and, above all, boosting morale of the local population, especially the children. I’ll never forget the charismatic, ever cheerful chaplain Tommy Goodwin encouraging the children to play and laugh again after the shock of the tsunami. The helicopter crews flew continuously taking in urgent medical stores and I well recall flying with Lt Toby Clay and Lt Jonathan Turner who were unstinting in their efforts to deliver life saving supplies. One of my most enduring memories relates to the determined efforts of Surgeon Lt Alison Dewynter who, with the help of a dedicated army of sailors, cleared the ruins of the local hospital to get it running again in less than a week. It had seemed like an impossible task but, when the chips are down, 'impossible' is not a word that seems to feature in Jack and Jenny's dictionary. I have had good reason to be proud of the work of the Royal Navy over the last 30 years as I’ve filmed with them on numerous operational deployments but Op’ Garron was a pinnacle: it helped me show the world exactly what our navy is capable of, not only in the face of an enemy but in the face of Mother Nature at her most ferocious. Well done the ship's company of HMS 'Up and at em' Chatham. You should still be very proud of what you achieved in Sri Lanka 20 years ago for you proved, above all, that the Navy’s most effective and potent resource is its sailors. #royalnavy #royalmarines #rnrmc Link to the film I made about HMS Chatham responding to the tsunami - called "After the Wave" https://lnkd.in/ewwavyys

A journey of over five weeks and 8000 miles of global media coverage, events, involving five governments, global defence contractors and military staff. The first historic ship to make such a journey since the SS.Gt Britain in the 1980's. PNS Tariq/HMS Ambuscades return to the UK, in 2025, fills a gap in Royal Navy post war history, while creating the first joint cultural Naval ship exhibit. Will your brand be part of this momentous journey? Thanks once again to the Pakistan Navy, for their very generous support in this unique mission.
