HMS Ambush Returns

HMS Ambush arriving home to Scotland for repairs following her collision off Gibraltar.

She made her way up Loch Long to Coulport where she will undergo inspection before repair work begins.

Significant damage to her tower was sustained when she surfaced and struck a tanker.

She is in a safe condition and the crew are all well.

HMS Ambush Returns from Patrol

HMS Ambush arrived back at her home base this afternoon from patrol.

Family and friends were out in numbers at Rhu Spit to give welcoming waves and cheers as she passed.

The Serco tugs SD Resourceful and SD Dependable escorted her up the Gareloch to the Faslane Naval Base where she safely berthed at the jetty.

HMS Ambush Submarine - Faslane Departure

I was fortunate enough to catch HMS Ambush as she departed Faslane.

I was on my way to Garelochhead to get a few images the the North bound steam train when I saw her come down the loch.
