Royal Navy in Scotland

Scotland is at the heart of UK defence. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scottish Secretary @D_G_Alexander visited HMNB Clyde - home to 6,500 military and civilian personnel - to see the UK Gov £250m transformation underway, upgrading infrastructure for next-generation submarines. 1/2 @RoyalNavy @DefenceHQ

Forging the future frigate force... The 2nd Type 31 warship HMS Active made her public debut as she was rolled out of the Venturer Hall at @Babcockplc Rosyth facility, while the first steel was cut for ship 4, HMS Bulldog. royalnavy.mod.uk/news/2026/febr…

Skilled. Adaptable. Ready. The @RoyalNavy is working with @BritishArmy engineers, using agile ways of working to build workshops for key maintenance at @HMNBClyde.

Yesterday I visited @HMNBClyde with @ChiefDefNuclear to see progress in action to deliver the Submarine Maintenance Recovery plan. The nuclear deterrent is my number one priority and that is a whole force effort.

Today I trained alongside @RoyalMarines and personnel and saw first-hand the commitment it takes to remain warfighting ready.

The Type 31 frigates built by @Babcockplc show where the @RoyalNavy is heading: a hybrid navy, with capable crewed platforms at the core, integrating new technologies to deliver success through Atlantic bastion.

Last year, during an operational deployment of the Continuous At Sea Deterrent (CASD), the crew of HMS Vengeance raised a remarkable £4,880 for @submarinefamily @EndometriosisUK and the Onboard Welfare Fund 🎉👏

❄️🎉 Congrats to our Snowball Race winner Victoria (Ball 227), and runners-up Martin (Ball 12) and Michael (Ball 231). A massive thank you to race sponsor, @GRAHAMGroupUK, @RNinScotland & everyone who bought a snowball to help raise vital funds for RNRMC! 💙 Phot: Daniel Bladen

Congratulations to @womenindefence 'Woman of the Year', trailblazing nurse Abigail Wright of @HMSPWLS.👏 She was singled out in particular for her work @HMNBClyde supporting submariners' mental health. 🔗 royalnavy.mod.uk/news/2025/nove…

Military personnel from the @RoyalNavy @MarineNationale @Forsvaret_no have successfully completed a two weeklong @NATO Submarine Rescue System (NSRS) exercise. The NSRS, which is operated by the @SDA_mod is a tri-national resource, able to rescue a distressed submarine globally.

A very Happy Birthday to His Majesty The King, our Commander-in-Chief.

Crew from lHMS Queen Elizabeth provide the Guard at the Edinburgh Remembrance, strengthening ties with the Capital City. @HMSQNLZ

⚓️ @hms_tyne and @HMSCattistock paused briefly to anchor together in Scapa Flow over #remembrance weekend - close to the wreck site of HMS Royal Oak which was sunk by a German U-Boat in 1939. Each ship held its own service with wreaths being committed to sea. Lest we forget…

This #RemembranceDay, we’re proud that members of HMS Duncan’s ship’s company are representing the Royal Navy across the UK — from a Guard of Honour in Dundee to parades in their hometowns. We remember them. #LestWeForget #HMSDuncan #RoyalNavy Watercolour by @JasonGoldrick1

Today, @DundeeCouncil and members of the public were joined by @RoyalNavy personnel from @HMSDuncan @HMSScotia and the @RMBandService Scotland to remember those that gave their lives for a better tomorrow. 📸 Credit: LPhot Bill Spurr
