Team visits HMS Severn
The Swansea Team had the rare opportunity of
combining their Team Programme with a visit to HMS Severn.
HMS Severn, one
of many ships in the Royal Navy’s Fishery Protection
Squadron, was alongside in Newport for a few days earlier this
month and invited the Swansea Team aboard.
The young people had a tour of the whole ship,
including the living quarters, the Ship’s own gym and the
canteen where they were served a typical crew lunch.
They met some of the crew and some were rather surprised that
the Captain of the ship was a young lady.
HMS Severn is looking forward to welcoming aboard another Team
Programme when it is alongside in Newcastle in the near future.
