King Charles III thanks Navy submariners on visit to Vanguard-class subs with nuclear capability

The King has thanked Royal Navy submariners for their service to the country while on a visit to a base in Argyll and Bute.

Charles met dozens of serving submariners at the Royal Naval Armaments Depot (RNAD) at Coulport, part of HM Naval Base Clyde.

He was welcomed by First Sea Lord Admiral Sir Ben Key KCB CBE and received the royal salute from several senior members of the Navy.

It marks the first time the King has visited the base as head of the armed forces, though he did visit in 2011 and 2013 as the Prince of Wales.

Commodore Paul Dunn OBE, of the Submarine Service, said: ‘His Majesty’s visit, his first here as commander-in-chief of the British armed forces, acknowledges the valuable service of our submariners.
