HMS Medway has arrived off Tristan da Cunha, ready to deliver six civilian medics and critical supplies to the island. She will remain in the area for several days and will retrieve the team who parachuted on to the island earlier this month 🇬🇧

I served in the Royal Navy for 40 years; commanded 2 warships before leaving in 2017. I love the Royal Navy, but I would be ashamed to be wearing its uniform in 2026. Dark, dark days.

The Decline of the Royal Navy – 1998 to May 2026 Views my own, corrections and comments welcome Draft in haste - I’m at New Statesman event, listening to the great and the good talk “defence” For those attending - I was the guy in the corner typing away 🕵️‍♂️ 1/25 The Royal Navy enters 2026 as a shadow of its former self. Once a global force with dozens of escorts, it now struggles with historic lows in hull numbers and availability. The discreet withdrawal of HMS Iron Duke – a Type 23 frigate that received over £100m in refit spending – leaves just five available frigates. This is not an isolated incident but the result of decades of mismanagement. This thread tries to give some context.

Change reflects 1SL Royal Marines attitude to training - officers doubtless with higher pass standards than ratings. Plus run down state of BRNC . For aircrew it is back to WW2 when initial RNVR(A) training for pilots & observers was as ratings at St Vincent
Sir Humphrey@pinstripedline

The Royal Navy is making huge changes to Officer training. BRNC will no longer carry out initial naval training. Now all junior officers will spend 11 weeks at HMS RALEIGH alongside ratings before conducting leadership training at BRNC. royalnavy.mod.uk/news/2026/may/…

At Arlington, we honour those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. As the King lays a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, we are reminded that the bond between us was built by those who served alongside each other in the cause of freedom and democracy.
