  • The Irish Navy has been assisting the National Ambulance Service in testing Irish people for Covid-19, as shown by these exclusive photos.


    Nice piece on JJ in Dublin.
    For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

    • DF Podcast is an Interview with OC L.E. James Joyce, Mike Brunicardi. He gives details of the NS role assisting the HSE & NAS carrying out COVID19 testing, in addition to normal operational duties.

      • This is a fantastic sequence of tweets, where HMS Tyne carried out a RAS exercise with L.E. George Bernard Shaw. More of this sort of thing please.

          Agree. Training and inter-operating with other navies brings skills and knowledge. Nice to see Tyne recovered from the MOD dustbin, recommissioned and performing with zeal and some pride. Our lads doing well.

          • I notice a few comments from the other side of the pond asking "How come our similar sized vessels are so lightly armed?"

                • L.E. Eithne is due to leave it's present berth on Cork's City Albert Quay shortly where it has been supporting Operation Fortitude since March 20th.
                  What next for P31 remains to be seen.
                  Hopefully she'll get her main armament back at least.

                          HMS TRENT has just deployed, straight from commissioning, to the Mediterranean in a joint policing role. This OPV has 30mm, 2 GPMG's, and 2 Mini-guns. No doubt good FCS for the 30mm. The Duty is Nato operation Sea Guardian. She is the second Batch 2 OPV to be commissioned in 2020.

                            She is also fitted with a Terma Scanter 4100 air search radar and a BAe CMS-1 combat management system.

                              'He died who loved to live,' they'll say,
                              'Unselfishly so we might have today!'
                              Like hell! He fought because he had to fight;
                              He died that's all. It was his unlucky night.
