The City of Stirling crest has taken pride of place on our bulkhead (jackspeak for "wall"), next to the vellum presented to the ship by the Worshipful Company of Painter-Stainers.
The Portsmouth News is as excited as we are! "Royal Navy's newest ship prepares to sail under forces banner" share.google/x5GJRIHEBL54ib…
We are proud to be affiliated with the wonderful people of Stirling, and we are honored by the warm welcome our captain received from the Lord Provost and her team

"Our affiliation with the City of Stirling and the iconic Castle are a key part of our identity." Commanding Officer of @HMS_Str_Castle, Commander Phil Harper, visited Stirling to strengthen links between the #RoyalNavy, his vessel and the city. royalnavy.mod.uk/news/2025/sept…
As we approach the happy day when we get the ship to sea for the first time under the White Ensign, our bridge teams have been training in the simulator at @LiverpoolPilots. An amazing day, and a big thank you to the Pilots for sharing their facility and knowledge!
Look what we left loafing in the office of the Lord Provost of the City of Stirling! We are proud to be affiliated with the good people of Stirling - our spiritual home and a living manifestation of the nations we defend
It was a rare privilege yesterday for the Captain to visit the City of Stirling and meet the Lord Provost. Our affiliation with the City and castle represent a spiritual home for the ship - and what a rich and dramatic history they have! @StirlingCouncil
With a proud Scottish name like Stirling Castle we are working out an affiliation ("bond of friendship" in Army speak) with elements of the @The_SCOTS The captain enjoyed a warm welcome at the Regimental HQ, in beautiful Edinburgh Castle
What a great photo from @SteelCityAdy!

Looking like the warp core from @StarTrek USS Enterprise, this is one of the dynamic positioning azimuth thrusters, that allows HMS Stirling Castle to be precisely moved or held in position. Now where's Scotty? @martinquinn_94 @MikeOkuda @RoyalNavy #Propulsion #Agile
This morning we have moved down the West Float, Birkenhead under our own power! A beautiful #Wirral morning to be on the water, and one step closer to getting to sea. 🌊🌊
It was a pleasure to welcome the wonderful @SteelCityAdy to the ship, and to show him what we're up to. Thanks for making the trip!

We successfully conducted a basin trial today alongside Birkenhead - the propulsion is all working nicely! 😀 Bring on the trials - can't wait to get to sea⚓️
Deck maintenance in progress aboard HMS Stirling Castle!🔧 Sections of the Weather deck are being replaced to keep her shipshape and ready for the challenges ahead. ⚓️
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.
.@HMS_Str_Castle still alongside in West Float Dock, Birkenhead. Crew have been training to operate 100-tonne crane - vital to enable USV operations.
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!
