More than 200 people travelled from across the UK to join the family day on the Royal Navy's final Vanguard Class submarineFamilies of the Royal Navy Submariners had the chance to see where their loved ones ate, slept, and lived while they were deployed during a guided tour at its HMNB Clyde base.
More than 200 people travelled from across the UK to join the family day on the Royal Navy's final Vanguard Class submarine.Lieutenant Commander Ian Coe, an engineer on HMS Vengeance, said: “The life on board HM Submarines is a challenging and rewarding one. “The conditions our personnel live and work in is difficult to explain. Giving the crew the opportunity to show their families where they live and work when deployed is extremely important and something we on HMS Vengeance feel strongly about.”Following a meal in the HMS Neptune Supermess, guests were taken to the submarine.
"It is important that they feel involved and see where their loved ones spend their time when deployed at sea. "It also gives our sailors the opportunity to say thank you to our families, whose support is vital in maintaining the morale of personnel onboard."HMS Vengeance, which is part of Britain's strategic nuclear deterrent force, was launched in September 1998 and commissioned in November 1999.Readers’ comments: You are personally liable for the content of any comments you upload to this website, so please act responsibly.
