Queen christens Britan's biggest ever warship with whisky
The largest warship ever built in the UK has been officially named at a ceremony attended by the Queen, Prime Minister David Cameron and First Minister Alex Salmond.
The 65,000-tonne Royal Navy aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth was formally christened during an event at the Rosyth Dockyard in Fife, where the ship was assembled and fitted out.
The Queen said: In sponsoring this new aircraft carrier I believe that Queen Elizabeth, as flagship for the Royal Navy, will be a source of inspiration and pride for us all.
The Lord High Admiral, the Duke of Edinburgh, joins me in congratulating all those involved in the Aircraft Carrier Alliance on this magnificent achievement, and wishing her first ship's company well in the time ahead.
Wherever this ship may serve, whatever tasks may be asked of her, let all those who serve on her know that on this day she was blessed with the prayers of us all for her success and for her safe return to calm waters.
I name this ship Queen Elizabeth, may god bless her and all who sail in her.
The Queen then pressed a button to release the whisky, which successfully smashed on the ship's hull.

John Jellicoe, 1st Earl Jellicoe
Admiral of the Fleet John Rushworth Jellicoe, 1st Earl Jellicoe, GCB, OM, GCVO, SGM was a Royal Navy officer. He fought in the Anglo-Egyptian War and the Boxer Rebellion and commanded the Grand Fleet at the Battle of Jutland in May 1916 during World War I. His handling of the fleet at that battle was controversial: he made no serious mistakes and the German High Seas Fleet retreated to port – at a time when defeat would have been catastrophic for Britain – but at the time the British public were disappointed that the Royal Navy had not won a victory on the scale of the Battle of Trafalgar. Jellicoe later served as First Sea Lord, overseeing the expansion of the Naval Staff at the Admiralty and the introduction of convoy, but was removed at the end of 1917. He also served as the Governor-General of New Zealand in the early 1920s.

Queen launches HMS Queen Elizabeth - Britain's largest Navy ship sets off on maiden voyage
Queen launches HMS Queen Elizabeth - Britain's largest Navy ship sets off on maiden voyage
THE Queen recalled her days as a Naval officer's wife, daughter and mother today as she welcomed Britain's new £3.1billion aircraft carrier into the fleet.
In a purple Angela Kelly outfit, she attended the commissioning ceremony in Portsmouth for her namesake ship, HMS Queen Elizabeth, the largest and most powerful vessel ever built for the Royal Navy.
As its lady sponsor, she declared she would always have a special link with the ship, its company and their families and described the 65,000 tonne carrier as the best of British.
The 91-year-old monarch braved the 10.00am South Western Railway service from London Waterloo to Portsmouth Harbour to get to the ceremony, sitting in a cordoned off first class compartment with five aides during the hour and a half train journey.
To the amazement of many commuters who have suffered regular delays on the route since South Western -a collaboration between UK transport firm FirstGroup and MTR, which runs the Hong Kong metro - took over the franchise in the summer, the Queen's train was bang on time.Aides were unsure how much the head of state, who did not return by rail, paid for her ticket. A first class single is £60.90 but she might have got it cheaper on a senior citizen's rail card or a group discount.
Accompanied by Princess Anne in Naval uniform, the Queen used a specially installed lift to take her up to the hangar deck, where 3,700 guests including families and VIPs watched the ship's commanding officer Captain Jerry Kyd bring her into the ceremony, sheltered mercifully from the rain and wind outside.
Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson was among the guests but Prime Minister Theresa May pulled out on Wednesday because of Brexit negotiations.
A few hundred yards away, Nelson's flagship HMS Victory stood proudly in dry dock beneath the gunmetal grey skies.
In a speech, the Queen said: We are gathered here in Portsmouth today just a short distance from HMS Victory, a flagship of our seafaring past and a reminder of the debt we owe to the Royal Navy which for more than 500 years has protected the people of this country and our interests around the world.
Like HMS Victory, HMS Queen Elizabeth embodies the best of British technology and innovation, a true flagship for the 21st century.
The most powerful and capable ship ever to raise the White Ensign, she will in the years and decades ahead represent the country's resolve on the global stage.
She praised the sailors who will crew the 280 metre long carrier, which can support 48 aircraft, and added: As the daughter, wife and mother of naval officers, I recognise the unique demands our nation asks of you and I will always value my special link with HMS Queen Elizabeth, her ship's company and their families.
It was the sort of ceremony that the sailors in her family - the now retired Second World War veteran Prince Philip and her son Prince Andrew, who served in the Falklands conflict in 1982 - might have loved to attend.
She told the ship's company: The Lord High Admiral, the Duke of Edinburgh, joins me in wishing you well in all your endeavours.
The ceremony was organised to commission the carrier into the fleet but the Aircraft Carrier Alliance confirmed that the Royal Navy had formally accepted the ship today, meaning it had been fully handed over to the Ministry of Defence.
Mr Williamson said the commissioning ceremony marks the start of a hugely significant chapter for the Royal Navy with another aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales to follow.
He added: Our new aircraft carrier is the epitome of British design and dexterity, at the core of our efforts to build an Armed Forces fit for the future.
For the next half a century both carriers will advance our interests around the globe, providing the most visible symbol of intent and commitment to protect the UK from intensifying threats, wherever they may come.
Cpt Kyd said it was an historic day that marked the culmination of over a decade of work and paid tribute to the thousands involved in the creation of the aircraft carrier, which he said reflected the truly national nature of this endeavour.
CHINA: HMS BOXER ARRIVES IN SHANGHAI
English/Nat
A British naval vessel has arrived in Shanghai for the Royal Navy's first visit to China since the 1997 return of Hong Kong to Chinese rule.
H-M-S Boxer and its crew are on an goodwill mission, having already visited Vietnam and Hong Kong.
It follows a commitment by British Prime Minister Tony Blair to strengthen ties between Britain and China after his visit to the country last October.
Judging by the fog and wet weather, it could have been a home coming.
But the busy waters of the Huangpu river in Shanghai were unfamiliar territory for British battleship H-M-S Boxer.
The type-22 frigate is the first Royal Navy ship of its kind to visit mainland China since the 1997 handover of Hong Kong.
Launched in 1981, the multi-purpose battleship carries an arsenal of weapons.
Supporting a single Lynx helicopter, the ship's armoury of torpedo tubes, Seawolf missiles and Exocets give it an anti-submarine, anti-surface vessel and air defence capacity.
But on this trip, the H-M-S Boxer's intentions are anything but hostile.
The vessel and her crew of 260 men and women are on an eight-month mission to strengthen ties between Britain and China.
They have already made goodwill visits to Hong Kong and Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam.
The visit to Shanghai follows a commitment made last October by British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
Visiting China, he called for the strengthening of ties and encouraged a programme of military and ministerial exchanges.
H-M-S Boxer will stay in Shanghai for five days.
The visit will include a series of high profile exchanges with both the Chinese People's Liberation Army and city dignitaries.
Other plans include a party for local children as well as a football match between the Boxer's crew and the Chinese Army's team.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
Big privilege for us, Royal Navy ships do not visit this part of the world very often. My ship company have been therefore looking forward to arrive for some time. We are very keen to make the most of our days here alongside, to further and strengthen the join interests between our two countries and in particular our two navies.
SUPER CAPTION: Richard Ibbotson, HMS Boxer Captain
In its final two days in Shanghai, the frigate will be joined by the Royal Navy's First Sea Lord, Admiral Sir Michael Boyce.
Sadly, it will be the last voyage for the Boxer.
After Shanghai, the frigate will sail back Britain where it will be decommissioned next August.

Is This the Most Important Date in U.S. History?

What is the most important date in American history?
July 4th, 1776 -- the date of American independence?
Or April 12, 1861 - the first day of the Civil War that ended slavery in America?
Or maybe December 7, 1941, the day the Japanese Empire bombed Pearl Harbor, bringing America into World War II?
Or how about this one -- July 28th, 1588.
Yes, 1588. That's thirty years before Plymouth Rock, and almost twenty years before Jamestown, John Smith and Pocahontas.
So, why is it such an important date in American history?
First, a little background.
In 1588, the most powerful man in the world was the King of Spain, Phillip II. Flush with gold and silver from the New World, he had no rivals, save one: Queen Elizabeth of England.
England was a Protestant nation and Spain was Catholic, as was most of Europe. In addition to considering her a heretic, Phillip hated her for two additional reasons: first, she was financing a rebellion by the Dutch Protestants against Spain in the Spanish Netherlands, which Phillip controlled; and second, because she had executed her rebellious cousin, Mary Queen of Scots. Mary, like Phillip, was a Catholic monarch. Phillip felt that Mary, not Elizabeth, was the rightful heir to the English throne.
Phillip felt that with the execution of Mary Queen of Scots, Elizabeth had gone too far. The time had come, he decided, to discipline her and her heretic nation.
He came up with an audacious plan. He would invade England. To do this he needed a large army and lots of ships. He needed an Armada.
130 ships that would carry 30,000 men.
Phillip was very rich, but not that rich. To build such a fleet, he would have to borrow heavily. But this wasn't much of an obstacle. Once he had conquered England, he could use the English treasury to pay off any debts. The Pope, wishing to see England return to the Catholic fold, promised additional financing.
So, the ships were built and the soldiers recruited. Most importantly, Phillip had chosen a competent man to lead them, the Marquis de Santa Cruz.
Santa Cruz asked for more time to prepare his ships and men, but Phillip was impatient. Far too impatient, as it turned out. In a massive stroke of misfortune (the first of many) Santa Cruz died just before the Armada was to set sail. Rather than take the time to seek a suitable replacement, Phillip pushed ahead and appointed Duke Medina Sidonia to take command. There was only one problem: Sidonia was an Army general. He had no naval experience; in fact, he had never been out to sea.
You can't hide 130 ships and 30,000 men. The English knew the Spanish were coming and they were ready for them. What they lacked in fire power, they made up in maneuverability, familiarity with the treacherous English Channel, and the most capable and creative sea commanders of the age -- Lord High Admiral Howard, Sir John Hawkins and Sir Francis Drake. They knew they couldn't win a shootout with the Spanish.
So instead, they launched a pre-emptive attack on the Spanish fleet while it was still docked in the French port of Calais. Setting a number of their own ships on fire, they sailed them into the port.
The Spanish cut their anchors to flee the flaming English ships, but, in their panic, they only made matters worse. The Spanish ships rammed into each other, tangling riggings, slicing sails and crushing hulls. The vessels that weren't damaged were sitting ducks for the English cannon.

In response to the IRA Bombing of the Royal Marines Band Deal (1989)
Lt Gen Sir Martin Garrod, Commandant General RM
A sad episode in his career was the bombing of the musicians' barracks at Deal in 1989, which killed 11 people. Garrod immediately appeared on television in uniform to condemn the perpetrators as thugs, extortionists, torturers, murderers and cowards – the scum of the earth. He went on: We will emerge stronger and more determined than ever before to end and destroy this foul and dark force of evil.

SUMMARY
=======
The Maritime history of the United Kingdom involves events including shipping, ports, navigation, and seamen, as well as marine sciences, exploration, trade, and maritime themes in the arts from the creation of the kingdom of Great Britain as a united, sovereign state, on 1 May 1707 in accordance with the Treaty of Union, signed on 22 July 1706. Until the advent of air transport and the creation of the Channel Tunnel, marine transport was the only way of reaching the British Isles. For this reason, maritime trade and naval power have always had great importance.
Prior to the Acts of Union, 1707, the maritime history of the British Isles was largely dominated by that of England. (See Maritime history of England for more details.)

The Princess Royal takes BRNC Salute
Friends and families of the latest Cadets to complete training have gathered at Britannia Royal Naval College to see their loved ones take part in a parade attended by Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal.The Princess Royal, accompanied by her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, was the guest of honour at BRNC's final passing-out-parade of the year. As the rain eased off and with the Royal Marine Band providing festive music, the Princess Royal was invited to inspect the Cadets and take the salute during the march past. The parade signified the end of 30 weeks intensive training for the 67 Officer Cadets who can now enjoy Christmas with their families before embarking on the next stage of their Royal Navy careers. Among those passing-out were Cadets from 10 overseas nations, who regularly send their personnel to BRNC for training. Captain Jerry Kyd, the Commanding Officer of BRNC, said: We were very honoured to have Her Royal Highness visit us for our final parade of the year. These Cadets have been given a thorough induction into the Royal Navy and worked hard to earn their place on the parade ground. They spent the last nine weeks of their training at sea. Some were assigned to HMS Illustrious, while others were on board the Fleet Flagship HMS Bulwark. Both warships were involved in the Royal Navy's Cougar 12 deployment working as part of the UK's Response Force Task Group, exercising with a multitude of other nations in the Mediterranean. This was an excellent opportunity for the Cadets to see at first hand the Royal Navy in operation, working in partnership with our allies. The Princess Royal has a long association with the Royal Navy. She holds the rank of Rear Admiral as Chief Commandant for Women in the Royal Navy and has special relationships with HMS Talent and HMS Albion. The Princess Royal is also Commodore-in-Chief for Portsmouth and last attended a parade at BRNC in 2002, when she represented Her Majesty The Queen at Lord High Admiral's Divisions. In total 237 BRNC staff and Cadets at varying stages of their training were on parade with music provided by the Band of Her Majesty's Royal Marines Plymouth. After a period of leave the College will re-open in January for what will be the 150th year of Royal Navy Officer training in Dartmouth.

HMS Portland Royal Navy Luke coming home !
Luke`s (Netto`s) first deployment, with HMS Portland. Arriving at Plymouth on 15.11.10 having been at sea for almost 6 months, and having sailed half way around the world ! His elder brother Elliot joined him for the final week and was nick named Jesus & J.C by the crew !
I do apoligise for calling HMS Portland, Luke`s ship when it is in fact owned by Her Majesty and the Royal Navy.....I was just very excited !
Hundreds of family members and friends welcomed home HMS Portland yesterday as she returned from a successful seven-month deployment to the South Atlantic, eastern Pacific and Caribbean Sea.
The Devonport-based Type 23 frigate was deployed to the Falkland Islands for four months as the Atlantic Patrol Task (South) ship and sailed over 32,000 miles (51,500km), including circumnavigating South America, transiting the Magellan Straits, Patagonian and Panama Canals and sailing the length and breadth of the Atlantic with two crossings of the Equator.
HMS Portland's Commanding Officer, Commander Mike Knott, said:
In a busy but extremely rewarding seven months HMS Portland has achieved a great deal, not only enhancing peace and stability within the South Atlantic and West African regions, but also contributing to the fight against cocaine-trafficking and narco-terrorism.
I am extremely proud of my ship's company which has made a positive impact everywhere we have visited and represented the United Kingdom and Royal Navy in the finest traditions of the Service.
After travelling over 32,000 miles and visiting 11 countries you cannot put into words how wonderful it is for the crew to meet up again with their families who have not seen them for such a long period of time. I am always so proud of how the ship's company deals with the strain of being away from their loved ones.
HMS Portland sailed from Devonport in April and en route to the Falkland Islands conducted a four-day defence diplomacy visit to Rio de Janeiro in Brazil where she hosted high-profile events such as the UK Trade and Investment defence industry day, when lucrative contracts for British businesses were signed, and a peace support operations conference for the British Ambassador.
The ship's role on her deployment was to provide a maritime presence to protect the UK's interests in the region, to reassure UK overseas territories, commonwealth countries and other friendly nations, and act as a deterrent to potential aggressors.
The ship took part in joint exercises with the Army and RAF and conducted visits to the settlements around the Falkland Islands, including South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands.
Six members of the Welsh Guards were embarked as the duty Falkland Islands infantry company which conducted foot patrols ashore.
The dramatic scenery and remote landscape will be long remembered by the ship's company as the ship encountered icebergs, glaciers, stunning mountains and fascinating local wildlife, including fur seals, elephant seals and many penguins.
On leaving the Falkland Islands, HMS Portland was honoured by a fantastic ceremonial send-off from the people and aircraft of the Mount Pleasant Complex, the Falkland Islands' military base.
The ship then navigated the Magellan Straits and Patagonian Canals on the south west coast of Chile on her way to Valparaiso for Chile's 200th anniversary of independence celebrations. The event was marked by a multinational naval exercise and an international fleet review attended by President Sebastian Pinera and the Royal Navy's First Sea Lord, Admiral Sir Mark Stanhope.
On her voyage to Chile, HMS Portland carried a special cargo of three church bells originally from a church in Santiago destroyed by fire 150 years ago but which were saved and shipped to a church in Oystermouth, Wales, where they had been on display until earlier this year.
HMS Portland and RFA Black Rover shared the transport of the bells from the UK to return them to Chile and their return on this patrol was part of the country's 200th anniversary celebrations.
HMS Portland also conducted a five-day visit to Lima in Peru, which also included a defence industry day on behalf of UK Trade and Industry, and a visit by James Brokenshire MP, Parliamentary Under Secretary for Crime Reduction at the Home Office, further raising the Royal Navy's profile in South America and helping to strengthen co-operation with Peru in the fight against cocaine-trafficking and associated terrorism
