 In the winds and showers of the Gareloch today, HMS Astute departed with the assistance of Serco tugs.

Joint Warrior - Faslane Saturday Arrivals


The Mine Hunters arrived earlier than expected this morning so I missed the first three as they passed on their way to Faslane.

Here's a few images of the last three transiting the Rhu Narrows.
