Ever wondered what sailors get up to during down time at sea?? Watch Naval films of course 🎥 The Fighting Clan's Hangar got turned into a cinema to watch Greyhound and trust us.... there is no better feeling than the 4D effects of the motion of the ocean to bring it to life 🌊

What a week at sea for the Fighting Clan! Achieved so much and overcame some challenges: 🫡 Handed over Command ✅️ 🏊‍♂️ Man Overboard exercise ✅️ 🔫 Force Protection proven ✅️ ⚡️ Proven Comms and Sensors ✅️ 💥 Test fired our 4.5 Gun ✅️ #SansPeur @RoyalNavy
