yeah I was on London UAS but the London URNU very kindly took a friend and me on a weekend trip from portsmouth to southampton and back. (on HMS puncher) Really great experience! learned a lot. All the URNU were seasick. We were hungover but no seasickness from us. can't believe they actually are sending these things to the arctic! wild.
We have a couple of these ships moored on the Tyne in Newcastle and i often wonder what they are like inside , more space than i imagined actually . Thank you Sir for the tour (:

V interesting! I suppose it must take a while to get used to not bumping ones head on a vessel like this! The nation is grateful to you people for your work. ♥️🇬🇧👍
Reminds me of the USCG's cutters. Had the pleasure to tour one once. Actually a bit bigger than this I think though - you could actually stand up. Must get to be quite close with your shipmates.
Yeah, maybe they should show you the encryption modules and the sound characteristics too? Seriously, that's a military vehicle in active service and NATO is currently on its toes, they won't be keen to share sensitive data and show photos of those parts of the ship that are vital
I would also like to see a bit more of the vessel, including the machinery space and a bit of info on the ship's complement- who does what etc., including watchkeeping duties. It is quite small, and the whole accommodation would probably fit into my 2/E suite on my last couple of ships, LOL.
She's very similar to smaller-sized US Coast Guard ships. I loved having the opportunity to operate with Her Majesty's Navy during my USCG time. Fair winds and following seas, HMS RANGER!
Thats way bigger a ship on the inside than I gave it credit for. So 5 crew and 6 more personel berths too. That's a cracking little ship. Armament wise I'm presuming its gpmgs and rifles rather than anything built into the boat?
"...and this table folds down and provides an extra bed as well..." Aw, how cute. My camper has the same feature. You Boy Scouts have some cute little ships there in Britain.
I like small ships, myself. If I were RN and not Canadian and active, not retired, I'd love to be posted on one of these. Some people like submarines too. No accounting for taste.
A great improvement on the Ley Class minehunter I served on. It was just as compact but the Heads were in the middle of the messdeck! I wonder if the new ones leak quite as much. I rarely had clothing that was wasn´t damp or mildewed.

Not a navy man myself but I can appreciate what you do - I have ex-navy friends including ex-submariners. That looks as cramped as a submarine without the benefit of being able to dive out of the weather - must get pretty bumpy at times! That head looks seriously difficult to keep clean around the base - doubtless that'd be my job!
Retired USN officer here: first, I’d like to express our appreciation for repurposing the name of John Paul Jones first naval command and the first U.S. Navy ship to receive a gun salute recognizing our sovereignty in 1778 (also conducted probably the first U.S. raid on British territory at Whitehaven in April that year, but it didn’t accomplish much so we won’t dwell on it here). Second, any chance I can get recalled to duty as an exchange officer on one of those. It looks like quite a nice little ship.

Perhaps another video on the ship's capability.

Keep up the hard work, Captain, one day they may give you your own frigate to play with. God Bless you and your crew.
Not being military, is she classed as a warship ? i'd expected a coastal patrol vessel to have some kind of fixed fore and aft gun emplacement ( LMG or something with a bit more punch like dual 50's )

It was hilarious hearing Port control call us up as "Warship Bass"...but quite correct! They were indeed Commissioned vessels of the RAN. We were fitted FOR (but not with) 2 x M2 Browning HMG's...

They have some general purpose machines guns they can mount. If they start firing anything something has gone badly wrong they are more to act as a visible RN presence and are therefore a physical manifestation of the Kings Navy and Armed Forces

Or you could, you know, look it up on your own. Google’s your friend.
I can tell you what it doesn't do, with actual certainty, it doesn't police its own shores, by stopping illegal invaders!

Pleased to see pictures our naval heroes displayed!
its comforting to hear we have at least one ship that can make it out of port
And here in the US it’s weird to see any navy ships in port, currently have 3 carriers in Newport, which is pretty much unheard of.
Why didn’t they show the planes and hangar? Or is it a submarine? I don’t know much about tanks, sorry.
I noticed one of the heads had illustrated instruction on how to wash your hands.
With a galley that small, how long can this class of ship deploy for? A couple of days?
Cosy! Where are the Christmas decoration mountings?
Well this fella looks fighting fit.
I like the way he says driving the ship but everyone knows you don't drive the ship. You stare a ship and you drive a car and ride a motorbike. 😂
Sounds like something useful for the coast guard or rivers
Ship or boat?
Driving or steering/piloting?
Ship vs Boat is determined by how it leans while turning. If it leans inward, it's a boat. If it leans outward, it's a ship.
Looks like border agency taxi service are going to inherit some cosy taxis
