Diving for headlines... This week’s #RoyalNavy news update is hosted by @RN_DTXG during an exercise aimed at helping Ukraine make the Black Sea safe. We’ve also got news from #CSG25 as they arrive in Australia.
On Reserves Day we pause for a moment to thank our employers for supporting our commitment to keeping our nation safe. From a huge variety of civilian occupations our contribution to keeping our Nation safe is recognised by our employers and the Royal Navy.

Since 1907 @RoyalNavy sailors have been competing in the Field Gun competition. Watch Lieutenant Commander Gary Nicholson, who is the Operations Officer at @HMSScotia (one of our reserve units) describe the step by step process. Could you do it? Have you done it?
Learn the step-by-step process of constructing and firing the Field Gun💣 @RoyalNavy sailors are required to follow a strict and intense routine to disassemble the gun before moving it...and that's only the beginning of the competition. Could you do it?👇
