Yesterday saw the unveiling of the Submariners Memorial at the National Memorial Arboretum by HRH the Duke of Cambridge, Commodore-in-Chief Submarines. A lasting reminder of the commitment and professionalism of our submariners since 1901. @royalnavy @KensingtonRoyal

Vanguard-class submarines have carried the nation's nuclear deterrent since the 1990s. The @RoyalNavy 's transition to the Dreadnought-class marks the most important platform development for the Service over the next fifteen years.

HMS Argonaut protected the amphibious units during the landings at San Carlos taking damage from Argentine jets on 21 May. Whilst the bombs failed to explode, two sailors, Iain Boldly and Matthew Stuart, were killed instantly. Lest we forget. @royalnavy #Falklands40
