@HMNBClyde is central to the UK’s submarine enterprise and a cornerstone of our national defence. Good to see its vital role and future focus recognised during today’s visit.

Innovation drives how the @RoyalNavy and @RoyalMarines operate. From uncrewed and underwater systems to strengthening our presence in the High North. Working with allies and pushing technology forward keeps us ready to defend the UK and NATO’s northern flank.

The Royal Navy is at the forefront of protecting the High North and NATO’s northern flank, ensuring the security and prosperity of the UK and our allies – it is vital we continue to meet the growing threats in the region.

AUKUS succeeds because of people and industry as much as platforms. Time with our @Australian_Navy and @USNavy partners reinforced how closely we are already working on skills and sustainment to underpin undersea capability for decades. Real progress, not just intent.

This is our future - and it’s exciting. T31 represents the next generation of Royal Navy capability, where innovation meets expertise. Our people will harness cutting-edge technology central to our hybrid force.
First Sea Lord and Chief of Naval Staff@GenGJenkinsRM

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.
