The Royal Navy’s Trafalgar Class Nuclear Submarine, HMS Talent is visiting Gibraltar today as part of her scheduled operational tasking. Commenting on the visit, Chief Minister Fabian Picardo explained that the movement of Royal Navy vessels is not a matter within the Constitutional competence of Her Majesty's Government of Gibraltar.

He added, ‘all vessels of the Royal Navy and of allied powers invited into British Gibraltar Territorial Waters by Her Majesty's Government are very welcome on the Rock.’
