She’s back! Thanks to some skilful manoeuvring, HMS Queen Elizabeth has returned to Rosyth. This marks another major milestone in our 10 year dry-dock maintenance programme for the Royal Navy’s Queen Elizabeth Class aircraft carriers.

HMS Queen Elizabeth’s recent incline trial at Rosyth was a great example of teamwork. With every movement based on deep skill and experience to tip the ship at precise intervals, the trial is essential for safety assurance. Watch the video of the trial in full swing.

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.

We have carried out key hull consolidation activities at Rosyth that allowed the weighing of HMS Venturer, the first warship of the Type 31 ‘Inspiration Class’, to enable validation checks at this point of the build. #DeliveringInspiration @HMSVenturerRN

It’s been almost a week since HMS Venturer entered the water for the first time, marking a major milestone for our Type 31 programme. Take a look at the moment she sailed back to Rosyth where work is now continuing in preparation for sea trials.

HMS Venturer build is taking shape with the team working towards structural completion within the build hall. The second ship in the programme, HMS Active, is emerging alongside HMS Venturer, with the double bottom blocks in-situ and the first hull blocks under construction.

The foremast is now in place on HMS Venturer - our first in class of the Type 31 frigates. Watch the timelapse footage as it travels from the Venturer Building to the dockside at our Rosyth facility, before being lifted into the air and expertly placed on the ship.
