Band of the hammock which saved the life of a German sailor to which he was clinging to when picked up by one of HMS Kent's boats after SMS Nurnberg sank. Only five were saved.

Yesterday, we formalised our third and final affiliation with the County of Surrey, the agreement was signed by our Commanding Officer and His Majesty's Lord-Lieutenant of Surrey. Here's to a lasting partnership built on shared values, service, and community.

Rafting @HMSHurworth for fuel, stores, water and a much needed sauna as part of #ExerciseSeaBreeze.

Actually, we lied about the sauna. We'd never have a sauna before lunch

Final preparations are underway ahead of our Commissioning Ceremony today.
From rigging the awning and dressing ship with flags, to giving the upper deck a final jet wash in true Scottish weather, the ship's company has been hard at work getting HMS Stirling Castle ready.🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🌧️

We are proud to be officially affiliated with the city of Stirling and the territory of Gibraltar - two remarkable places defined by iconic rock formations and, more importantly by the wonderful people who call them home

We are honoured to share this bond of friendship with them
