Faslane explains the high tempo of its operations to Prince Charles
14 June 2013
Prince Charles learned about present-day efforts of the Royal Navy’s mine warfare forces to keep the sea lanes open when he visited Faslane.
The heir to the throne toured HMS Bangor before meeting divers, Royal Marines, submariners and naval base staff, plus local schoolchildren, during a wide-ranging visit to Scotland.

MINEHUNTING’S changed a bit since I was in charge of one of these…
Sailors from HMS Bangor describe how the Royal Navy’s battle-proven Seafox system deals with the modern mine threat to Prince Charles when he visited Faslane yesterday.
The heir to the throne – who holds the title Duke of Rothesay north of the border – served in the RN for five years in the 1970s, with the final ten months of his career in charge of the minesweeper HMS Bronington, one of the last of the ‘wooden walls’ – warships with mahogany hulls so as not to trigger magnetic mines.
These days glass-reinforced plastic has replaced wood, as Lt Cdr Toby Shaughnessy and his ship’s company explained during the tour of Bangor, one of seven Sandown-class minehunters based on the Clyde, explained.

The Duke is piped off as he departs Bangor
“As a former commanding officer of a minesweeper, His Royal Highness was particularly interested in the latest technology and we were able to show him our Seafox mine disposal system,” said Lt Cdr Shaughnessy.
“It was also great to have the opportunity to speak with him about some of the current operations the 1st Mine Counter-Measures Squadron is engaged in around the globe.
“I think he was impressed by the high tempo of our work and the dedication and sacrifices which the crews make worldwide.”

The Prince chats with personnel in Faslane's impressive 'supermess' facility
After touring Bangor Prince Charles was hosted in the Warrant Officers’ and Senior Rates’ Mess where he was given a warm welcome from children from St Kessog’s Primary School, who had travelled from nearby Balloch.
The Duke then met a cross section of Naval Base personnel, including men and women from the Faslane Flotilla, 43 Commando Fleet Protection Group Royal Marines, submarine units, personnel from HMS Neptune and experts from the Northern Diving Group.
Other Royal engagements on the day included a visit to Erskine Home and Army Personnel Recovery Centre in Edinburgh and a tour of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in Glasgow.
