This is the official account for HMS Venturer, first of the @RoyalNavy's Inspiration Class Type 31 Frigates currently being built in Rosyth, Scotland.
Table-topping new ideas. Some problems are best tackled using simpler tools - counters on a plan of the Ship used to formulate and validate our response to a fire on board. T31 gives us the opportunity to respond to incidents in more effective and efficient ways #nextgenfrigate


Honouring a Naval tradition that can be traced back to the 10th century, we bid 'fair winds and following seas' to Venturer's first Senior Naval Officer, Cdr Chris Cozens. And welcomed her second, Cdr Thomas Hetherington. #nextgenfrigate #rowing royalnavy.mod.uk/news/2025/july…



A huge step forward for the Type 31 programme, HMS Venturer successfully completed her first entry into the water – a milestone on her journey to becoming a fully operational warship. She now starts the next phase of outfit and systems integration in Rosyth before sea trials.
'Getting our feet wet'. The culmination of some big engineering moves sees the Ship in the water and passing under the Forth bridges. Now safely back in Rosyth dockyard, the next phase of construction and fit-out begins. Read more in the article linked below 👇#nextgenfrigate
