The Silent Service
I recently visited HM Naval Base Clyde to meet the sailors, submariners, engineers and civilian staff who keep our continuous at sea deterrent running. It was great to be back…I served here as a young Marine in 2000 (yes, I am that old). The work ongoing here in Faslane is more impressive than you can imagine. Whilst so much is going on in the world, it’s worth remembering that every hour of every day, of every year, the silent service is deep below the ocean’s waves keeping us safe ⬇️
