That’s a long time away from home- welcome home 👏

[@carlhicksjr8401]

Well, I'm a week late, but welcome home, Brocklesbys! I hope your tour was safe and that all aboard came home just as fit as when they left.
From an American cavalry corporal likely old enough to be your grandfather, a sincere and respectful tip of the Stetson. Bravo Zulu.

Nice to see the families there to meet the lads and girls.That is a big thing in the a USA.I served 24 years in the RAF and because we were never posted as a unit just indivilydual

[@johnnunn8688]

Untrue. For instance, 230 Sqn moved to Gut, en masse, in 1980.

@@johnnunn8688 Yea but how often did that happen .Of course squadrons went went on detachment as a whole.Remember the whole RAF wasn't made up of squadrons.The majority of people I knew in my 24 years were posted on their own.

Well done guys

Proud to see our son home safe

Some of you don’t pay attention and it shows:
The ship was deployed (meaning it didn’t dock in Britain) for 3 years, the crews get swapped out on a rotating bases during those three years. No sailor was on the ship for 3 years at once. I mean look at some of the kids ( some are months old others well under 2 years 3 months) do you really think a sailor who was away for 3 years would be so happy to see his wife with a months old child? 😂

HMS Shoreham is not a sister ship to HMS Brocklesby . Press and Media get it right.

Welcome home!!

Always good to see a child eat a bogie.

[@mihaildudarov3425]

Will this ship continue to be used or will it be scrapped?

[@stuartaharris]

Someone wasn't listening. At 2:00 it says returning to fleet next year.

[@bostonblackie9503]

They don't want to scrap anything now, they don't know what to do with the wreckage. They sell it or put it in mothballs.

[@sharonrigs7999]

Wow....3 years is a long time.
Welcome home

literally what purpose could a peacetime nation have for a 3 year naval deployment

[@JohnHill-qo3hb]

Look outside your personal bubble, it is a nasty world out there with far too many people who don't think like you.
