Fleet Commander Visit To Gibraltar
Last week, Fleet Commander, Vice Admiral Andrew Burns CB OBE, visited His Majesty’s Naval Base, Gibraltar.
During his visit, Vice Admiral Burns had office calls with His Excellency, the Governor of Gibraltar, Lieutenant General Sir Ben Bathurst KCVO, CBE, and Commander British Forces Gibraltar, Commodore Tom Guy. He was also hosted by the Commanding Officer, Royal Navy Gibraltar Squadron (RNGS) at their Headquarters, spending time talking with the Squadron personnel before accompanying them on the water in HMS Cutlass.
Later that morning, Vice Admiral Burns hosted a meet and greet in the Tower courtyard with Royal Navy personnel to share Navy experiences.
Commander British Forces Gibraltar said: “It was a tremendous privilege, particularly for the Naval members of British Forces Gibraltar, to host the Fleet Commander for Trafalgar Night.
“I was delighted that he was able to spend time with all of our people and hear their views on life in the Royal Navy in Gibraltar, as well as seeing the great work of the RNGS at first hand.
“Making sure that our senior leaders understand the challenges and opportunities here in Gibraltar is really important, and I am grateful to everyone who worked hard to ensure his visit was a great success.”
