I was on a single role in the Persian Gulf doing a mine clearance exercise. The CD's put a pack on the tether to bring the mine to the surface. Then they put a 4lb pack on the mine. Well, when it went off the mine was launched into orbit. It looked like it was going to come down on top of us. I was on the bridge wing with the Killick Diver who said "run" The skipper re-assessed his minimum range after that. Oh, it didn't hit the ship.
@@kimjonglongdong3158 ye i get where hes coming from. reporter could've worded it better "oldest active duty vessel in the royal navy" or something along those lines.
@@pivottech8881 technically HMS Victory is the oldest commissioned warship in the world (and the RN), but again she's drydocked permanently so is not the oldest afloat.
Defence News & Updates wtf are you talking about? I was merely asking someone who knew why, as people have told me that the navy rarely use mtp pcs as they know have the navy blue pcs. I enjoyed the video, and it was a question of curiosity, stop overreacting
I would think it’s because the divers are not seen as permanent staff on the ship and are more of a tactical addition at both sea and on land - also, makes them look different on board, easier to identify (maybe!)

HMS Ledbury is not the oldest vessel in the Royal Navy. HMS Victory is.
Technically speaking yes, Victory is the oldest, but she's been in dry-dock for nearly a century and is nowhere near seaworthy unfortunately.

HMS Ledbury still going strong, outlasted the Sandown class mine hunters.
The Persian Gulf!
Amo I need more .....
Wow, nice kit. Better than the yellow subs we had on the single roles.
Clearance divers. Only thing bigger than that green mine is the size of their cahoonas 😂💪😎👍👍👍
Persian golf !
I don't care if Persian's play golf, but it is the Arabian Gulf
Ledbury is not the oldest HMS ship, Victory is. The oldest mine hunter. We have the best for that. Old but work
Yes I know this is late but hms victory is in a dry dock and ledbury isn’t
Out of interest, why are some of them still wearing mtp pcs, instead of the blue navy pcs?

Persian golf, you mean?
No, Arabian Gulf
@@danepotmo2513 I think you have not spared the date yet
Operational tour in Navy. Good hunting in a sea!
There is no such thing as Arabian Gulf, whomever made this video needs to educated themselves better.
