Sep 23 – HMS Bulwark Arrives In Gibraltar

HMS Bulwark will call into Gibraltar for a brief visit this weekend to top up on fuel and supplies.

The amphibious warship set sail from Plymouth on Monday 19 September to lead a major operational deployment to the Adriatic and Arabian Seas.

Plymouth-based HMS Bulwark has spent the last four weeks preparing for this autumn’s annual Joint expeditionary Force (Maritime) (JEF) deployment with a combination of training off the SW Coast and essential maintenance alongside in Devonport Naval Base.

The four week package of trials, training, and tactics was designed to ensure HMS Bulwark was both ready to deploy on time and capable of any emergent tasking,

The ship will spend the next few months at sea. She will return to the UK before Christmas and commence the process of handing over duties as Fleet Amphibious Flagship to her sister ship HMS Albion.

HMS Bulwark, accompanied by RFA Mounts Bay and MV Eddystone, will depart Gibraltar on Monday.
