- Royal Marine Commandos have been on exercise Cyprus for the past week. They are currently deployed in the Mediterranean as part of a Special Purpose Task Force operating from the amphibious landing ship Royal Fleet Auxiliary Mounts Bay. Two hundred Royal Marines live and operate from RFA Mounts Bay with 150 Royal Navy and British Army personnel in support. Mounts Bay has a range of ships that support the Royal Navy around the globe, from floating hospitals to fuel tankers.

3:17 combined operations pilotage party /Commando badge goes back to 9 commando 1945, and earlier I think for other units
Agree with master Mac. I did time on HMS Intrepid so can confirm what he says! The Royal Marines (when onboard), cause nothing but grief and nause. This includes deliberately blocking up ship toilet sewer systems. This appears to create much jollity amongst the RM, as they know some RFA engineer has to find the block and clear it! Not funny!!
what purpose they have for blocking up the toilet?
so thats why they get pot wash all the time?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Very funny.
Smart choice! There is nothing better than a life at sea!
life on shore
@@sharkbot25 have you experienced both??
I know British Navy will never be the force it once was, but damn I would very much like to see them increase their numbers by at least 15%. Their Quality is goodm but they need note fighting ships.
Onwards and upwards Lock 🔒 and load for any eventuality
I was Chief Cook on that trip bloody work up for the Chefs 🙈🙈🙈
Austrailia has one of them to go with its two LHD. .
@Gar "HMAS Choules" plus their two Canebra class LHD's...
Not the same ship, but RM’s used to make a rod for their own backs on the LSL’s. Sticking sh** down the heads would only result in the macerators jamming. Pipes would back up and flood their decks. Being a 3/O (E) at the time, guess whose job it was to fix it and tell the bad news to the lads: sort your own decks out...
Oh yeah yeah
2:38 paused at the right moment
Hahahaha - Brilliant: “Oooowwwww, Hello Sailor”
Band of Royal signals farewell concert
Do rfa sailers undergo any type of military training?
Nope all civies even there medicals are quite basic
Yeah drinking
@@markbrown351 I'll drink to that.
That mk 44 mini gun is quiet. Boot neck's not even got his ear defender's in. Lol
No.
Are there any ship defences and firepower?
They have 2 CIWS, 6 general purpose machine guns, 4 MK44 Miniguns and 2 30mm cannons
Forgive my ignorance but why are
these ships RN 'auxillary' ships?
Is that like naval reserve?
If you think of the navy as the cavalry, we're the wagon train full of supplies. The Royal Navy moves courtesy of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary.
@@stephennelmes2537
Thanks for the explanation.
God bless all who serve at sea.
They're pretty much the Royal navy reserve these days and in actual fact that's what they belong to they go through some similar structures and training just like the Royal navy Some of its different I know because I served on it
@@edwardjaycocks5497
Many thanks
former USNR here
Please tell me this ship is still on active duty. With UK governments one never knows when the next defense cuts will be handed down...
She's up aswell as her sister ships Cardigan Bay and Lyme Bay, not sure about the others but Lyme Bay is out on the new operations in Norway.
@@hldx.z2393 all 4 Bay class ships are in active service

An interesting career change by Adam Mc Carthy. I though you could only join the RN\RFA in your 16-20s
I'm literally in the same boat (no pun intended) as Adam im 29 working in IT and hate the office life so I'm applying for RFA Monday
There is no age limit for the RFA the RN is 39.
It's got a few guns on it for maritime security right? Who gets to play with them then if it's crewed by civvies?
Quodge the minis the crew are trained to use the other ones they will have royal navy/marines onboard for.
Civvies have previous experiences with nerf guns so the guns on the ships should be a piece of cake.
*DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!!!!*
Someone needs to cause your bootlaces have to be tied tight so that your feet work properly.!
i mean why not, its on site?
you would thik it would carry more weapons than tiny mini-guns.
She has 2 x 30mm DS30B cannons. 2 x 7.62mm MK 44 mini guns. 6 x 7.62mm GPMG and Phalanx CIWS. Quite heavily armed for a civilian crewed ship.
The 20mm CIWS helps a lot, in the US Navy there LSD class the Whidbey Island/ Harpers Ferry ships 609 ft. 15,725 ton There weapons are .. 2, Mk.29 RAM / 2, 20mm CIWS / 2, Mk.38 25mm / 8, .50 cal. M2 / 500 Marines
+Prog X this is the Royal Navy not us navy
Andrew Harrison Lol Yes it is, will they ever learn ?
When the hell does the Government care about the military.There own pensions thats when they really care, greedy bastards the lot of them.
I think the designers skipped the class on aerodynamics.
Anybody joins the Royal Fleet need to stop moaning about the Royal navy counterparts that's what they're there for simple as that
This is an RFA. It is NOT an RN ship. However, most RFA officers think they are in the RN.
Most RFA enlisted personal are higher qualified compared to their RN counterpart.
I went on to better things
1:32 Sorry but what were those gasses?
safety glasses
Alfredo Texaca y
ellis statham Protection from hazards like gasses, liquids, etc. Basically to keep things out of your eyes.
theyre common in engineering environments, theyre normal vision glasses with added protection
Ummmm Civilians I don't think so..... The Royal fleet Is much more integrated into the Royal navy these days.... and the Personnel being to Royal navy reserves.... However they still hold the Merchant rank which you silly these days.
So this ship has not sprang a leak like the new UK.aircraft carrier?
Christopher Villiers if I’m perfectly honest, all ships leak that’s why they have a bilge pump onboard
Have you read the news about the new American Ford carrier?? Apparently it leaks and breaks down 😂😂😂😂
All ships leak
@@canihazburgers that why they has biluges
@@christophervilliers8395 Correct
U tube
What I don't get.. IS WHY IS SHE DESIGNED WITH A RUDDY GREAT FLAT SAIL SUPERSTRUCTURE WHICH OBVIOYSLY SLOWS HER DOWN AND FORCES THE ENGINES TO WORK HARDER.?.. WHY WAS SHE NOT DESIGNED WITH AN ANGLED SUPERSTUCTURE TO ENABLE HER TO CUT THROUGH THE AIR AS WELL AS A BOW THAT CUTS THROUGH THE WATER..? . IT NOT HARD.... JUST A NOTE TO SHIP DESIGNERS... YOU'RE WORKING AGAINST AIR AS WELL AS WATER WHEN IT COMES TO PROPULSION... PLONKA'S
What I don't get is why are you shouting....
You're an engineer? Specifically a ships engineer? Why would you presume to know better than trained and experienced professionals? Also, aerodynamics isn't that much of a factor when other priorities are deemed more important. Clearly they needed the room for said superstructure and seeing this is an amphibious Bay class landing ship, its main goal isn't speed and efficiency but rather capacity. Btw, using all caps makes you sound like a pedantic little child and the arrogance in your comment is the icing on top of it. Nice way of making a fool out of yourself you dunce.
Well she was built on the cheap by converting a merchant ship
@@Supergeologist No she wasn't. The Bay class is a modified Rotterdam class (Dutch). We took the design pushed the flight deck forward and added another deck to the superstructure. They roll like pigs in a swell, there's no sound insulation between the cabins the vacuum toilet system is rubbish and the stairs are a nightmare..... The crew bar is OK though.... Allegedly. Lol
It's a RFA ship. It's not meant to be in battles so it doesn't really need speed.
Compro 100 navios dessa classe para a marinha do Brasil rio de janeiro
why they dont stick a multi-cell missile launcher on ships like this is beyond me
CockpumpVideo because it's legally a civilian ship. It only has mini guns onboard for defence
Usually because they have a couple of escort frigates or destroyers...
You Limeys do know that your Capitol City is Occupied and Led by Muslims right ?
Harry Kuheim blacks, South Americans etc... Not exactly like the US is native... Oh wait shall I say whites have taken over native America too?
Harry, not nice to be abusive, but yes you are right, unfortunately!
Another typical comment with no evidence.
