This is the official X account for HMS Stirling Castle, mine countermeasures support ship and the Royal Navy's latest (but not newest) shiproyalnavy.mod.uk/organisation/u…Joined April 2023
Great to welcome @MerseyFire onboard HMS Stirling Castle. 👨🚒⚓
A valuable liaison visit strengthening cooperation between the Royal Navy and local emergency services here in Merseyside.
We're getting hands-on with our 100-tonne crane 💪. Training ensures we’re ready to safely lift heavy loads in support of maritime operations, including mine countermeasure vehicles. Bring it on!
Many thanks to the charitable support of the Royal Navy Trophy Fund, we have commissioned this beautiful bespoke silver piece from Langfords who are hand making our commissioning silver. A tradition that connects us to the generations of sailors before us.

We're really proud of our affiliation with the Worshipful Company of Painter - Stainers, whose royal charter dates back to 1581. This parchment is proudly displayed outside the Commanding Officer's cabin, as a sign of our ongoing affiliation.
@PaintersCompany
.@chriswebbartist does wonderful pictures of all sorts of stuff, but his ability to capture the essence of a ship has led to many commissions, including us. And he's a super bloke. He takes no payment - all the proceeds go to @RNIB
Well, first I find out that I’m on Google Street view, AND then I find out this lovely lot have followed me.
I’m winning and it’s not 9am yet (ok I’ve been up since 1am, but we can look past that)
CAN I PLEASE ASK YOU TO ALL FOLLOW @HMS_Str_Castle 👊
"Honey, I shrank the ship"
Made by a member of the ship's company. Now we can play with toy ships. The Navigator calls it "table top tactics", but if so, why does he make "brmm, brmm" noises when he moves them?

Paint update!
The decision is: Train first, paint later.
Your insights were genuinely helpful - the wisdom of crowds deserves respect. When we do finally paint ship (maybe next year?) we will be wearing a scheme informed by your views.

We don't have rudders and propellers - we have azimuth thrusters. Practice makes perfect, and @LiverpoolPilots gave us expert advice and use of their simulator. Priceless preparation!
