HMS Richmond is a Type 23 Duke Class frigate serving in the Royal Navy, the seventh ship to bear the name in the Senior Service, with the first HMS Richmond named in 1660.
Based at HMNB Devonport, she can carry 185 personnel more than 7,800 miles, with a top speed of in excess of 28 knots.
But what does she do? What is life like on board? And how does the crew deal with emergencies like fire or illness?

Techniques have been honed and lessons learnt from WW1, WW2, and the Falklands + many more conflicts and other instances such as HMS Nottingham in 2002. All very effective and work greatly to keep the ship floating.

3:13 Ah good. She is the same PTI that took my class through the last stages of IMF (Initial Military Fitness) during my time at HMS Raleigh. She is ruthless and I've had a few bollockings off her haha.

Nice Horn, Good food and you will always have a happy ship, stay safe👍🇬🇧

Good to have something physical, analogue, reliable with you like that old horn instead of some potentially unreliable digitised piece of technology that could randomly fail on you when you need it most! Same goes for wind up torches/flashlights as opposed to battery/electric ones etc!

A beard is called "a set" and you have to ask the permission of either the Captain or No1 to grow one.

Have you thought of using water canons for anti drone defence. Like water blasters, maybe with multiple nozzles pointing in the general direction. Could be useful for some types of drones, plenty of water and a holding tank in a elevated position could give instant supply. Aiming it in the right direction could be achieved by just opening the valve of the nozzles pointing in the right direction.

Don't mention her age on camera, she'll be for the chop otherwise. The MOD, bean counters, would love to get their hands on her.

That deck looked a bit rusty, what has happened to the crew painting ship at any opportunity available. Wondered where the horn off the bike went.

New abilities in combat plus old ones that are still very much a danger, make the survival of the modern warship not an assured one. The crew make the difference.
