HMS SUTHERLAND

Quite easily one of the proudest moments we have ever had. The Fighting Clan were 'standing with giants' at the British Normandy Memorial as we got to pay our respects to all those that had gone before us. On top of this we visited Omaha Beach, Arromanches and Pegasus Bridge.

Fair winds and following seas to all our friends and collegues in @HMSDragon as they sail to conduct defensive operations in the Eastern Mediterranean 🫡 A huge effort by all to finish essential maintenance and embark vital stores and ammuniton in such a short time! 👏

Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus (Happy St David's Day) from all in the Fighting Clan 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 We are a proud Ship's Company of personnel from all around the world 🌎 The ongoing 6 Nations 🏉 and a World Cup ⚽️ on the horizon is great for banter on board 😬

@HMSDaring @RoyalNavy @HMNBPortsmouth Welcome back!

From all in the Fighting Clan - we just wanted to take a moment to wish you all a very happy Burns Night. We are proud of our Scottish connections and have a strong bond and affinity with the County of Sutherland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

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

A changing of the guard in The Fighting Clan as we bid a fond farewell to our outgoing Commanding Officer, Cdr James Wallington-Smith RN, and bid a very warm welcome to Cdr Kris White RN as the incoming CO 🫡

A very well done to those who received awards for Departmental Sailors of the term! 🏆 We would not achieve anything without our Ship's Company and it is such a proud moment moment for us to be able to recognise those that went above and beyond this term! 👏 BZ!

As tradition, The Captain and Officers 'cooked' and served Christmas dinner to the Ship's Company (helped by the Logistics Department). The scran went down a treat, although the Chefs did comment that looking after the Officers was harder than herding cats. Next stop...leave🎄

@RoyalDornochGC Looks fantastic! Can't wait to sail up and see for ourselves! 😍

Royal Dornoch members have enjoyed their first look inside the spectacular new £13.9m clubhouse overlooking the Championship Course, a truly historic moment for the club. Full story 👇royaldornoch.com/2025/12/15/mem…

@NatashaMDay @Some_Gamer Amazing!!! 👏 ❤️

Amazing news from His Majesty King Charles III, not only regarding his own cancer treatment but of how the screening and support availble improves each year. Early diagnosis and speedy intervention is key, remember, if in doubt, get it checked out! @RoyalFamily @CR_UK @SU2CUK
