Yeah!! Well done to all aboard HMS Richmond.

It's very comforting to know you can count on the Royal Navy 24/7 365 days a year to do an outstanding job.

I suppose now they are all looking forward to some well earned leave and a belated Christmas.

Hurry home guys!! Your families can't wait to see you!!

When I saw the name I thought “Could she be the daughter of Commander Alan West?”
Captain of HMS Adent??
1st Sea Lord?
Man with b*lls of steel?

But she is not, still no less welcome all the same.
God Speed Sarah West.
May you have calm seas and light winds.
