BZ Kate! What brilliant news for @RFAHeadquarters and @RN_engineers. A superb #MarineEngineer, outstanding leader and mentor and #aweSoME choice to guide the next generation of #RFA Marine and Systems Engineers on their professional formation 🫡⚓️🛠
A landmark moment for women in engineering! ⚓🔧 Commodore Kate Morgan’s journey is a powerful reminder of what’s possible. Representation, role models and opportunity matter. To every woman considering engineering: there’s a place for you here. Seize it! 💪 #WomenInEngineering

You can only imagine what Thomas would make of Royal Navy Engineering today. One thing remains constant, technology and technologists win wars. Onwards to the hybrid future, we stand on the shoulders of giants #AWEsoME
#OnThisDay 200 years ago in 1826 the @RoyalNavy commissioned Third-class Engineer, Thomas Brown making him the RNs first Engineer Officer. Today Weapon, Marine and Air Engineer Officers lead the talented pool of sailors who look after our ships and submarines at sea.

BZ indeed Ben and Jack. Some first class Marine Engineering from these First Officer (E)s. X is not for sharing performance data, but these two are winning when it comes to availability and operational readiness… 🫡💪⚓️🛠️ #awesoME
Congratulations to 1st Officers Ben Holt & Jack Grant RFA on receiving the CNEOs Award for Engineering Excellence 2025! 🏆 They couldn't make the awards ceremony, so we brought the awards to them. Well deserved recognition for outstanding engineering excellence! #awesoME @RNRMC

Clickbait for the #No1Stoker..!! Great stuff, BZ to these #awesoME @RN_engineers
Stokers! Engineer Technicians (Marine Engineer) Rhys Warrender and Martyn Rahmann, both 18, get stuck in with routine maintenance and breakdown drills in our Steering Gear Compartment and Engine Room. Our Stokers’ mission is Power to Command. Phots by AB(MW) Taylor #Seapower

It’s the CNEO’s favourite day of the year!! A masterclass in fun, curiosity and engagement to showcase a world of opportunity in #STEM. Properly #AWEsoME and thanks to all the @RN_engineers and industry friends who helped make it such a wonderful event. 🫡⚓️🛠️
Over 260 young engineers spent the day at HMS Sultan for #SULSTEMIC, flying drones, building ships, and exploring the science behind national defence and industry. Inspiring the engineers and scientists of tomorrow, today. @RoyalNavy #STEM #AwEsoME

Replying to @HMSsultan
@HMSsultan is not just vital to today’s Royal Navy, it is fundamental to how we evolve for the future. For 70 years it has powered our engineering capability, and it continues to shape the skilled engineers our frontline will depend on for generations to come. #AwEsoME
For 70 years, HMS Sultan has been powering the Royal Navy's engineering capability. Today, that legacy continues, shaping the engineers our frontline needs for generations to come. #HMSSultan #PoweringNavalEngineering #RoyalNavy

Spread to word - this paves the way for every Royal Navy Marine Engineer to achieve Chartered Engineer on their career journey. Simply superb - and our thanks to the @IMarEST @RN_engineers
The IMarEST was delighted to attend the Marine Engineering General Service Symposium at HMS Sultan, connecting with Royal Navy marine engineers. Naomi, took to the stage to speak about our dedicated Royal Navy Defined Route, supporting professional development and chartership.

Brilliant to see investment not just in platforms but in the underlying naval architecture, power, control systems and data links that will make the Hybrid Navy real. These USVs are going to be an engineering goldmine for trials, spiral upgrades and tactics development. #aWEsoME
The #RoyalNavy is buying 20 crewless boats as we look to build on our ability to merge both crewed and uncrewed forces. Delivered by UK USV specialists Kraken Works, they will be used by the Coastal Forces Squadron and @RoyalMarines from 47 Commando ➡️royalnavy.mod.uk/news/2026/m…

CPO Nisbet is the epitome of what we do best, quiet unassuming excellence and true dedication to service. Inspiring stuff, much respect.
A great engineering half day with a CNEO visit to HMS ASTUTE to award CNEO’s Commendations and speak with the engineers and then HMS PROTECTOR to speak with the engineers and present 5000 Sea Days award to CPO Nisbet (he is now up to 5690 sea days). #aWEsoME #LivingtheRNDream.
