Royal Navy

The Royal Navy has played an integral role in the annual Barclays Jersey Boat Show since it was first launched in 2008, with a large number of visiting vessels joining the Show over the years.

Featuring by the Steam Clock this year will be:

  • Royal Navy Dive tank, manned by divers from one of the Royal Navy’s two Fleet Squadron Area Diving Groups
  • Bomb Disposal unit, with remotely operated vehicle (ROV)

Featuring in the Military Village in Weighbridge Place this year will be:

  • Two Viking Personnel Armoured Vehicles, an all-terrain vehicle capable of operating anywhere in the world in temperatures from -46C to +49C
  • Royal Navy Mobile Outreach team

In St Helier Marina, you can explore:

  • HMS Express, an Archer Class patrol and training vessel (also known as a P2000)
  • Amphibious Landing Craft Vehicle Personnel, designed to transport troops or armoured vehicles from ship to shore during amphibious landings
  • Two Commando Raiding Craft, is primarily used when undertaking strategic raiding missions, where speed and covertness is desired. However, it is equally capable when conducting larger scale amphibious operations.

Royal Navy assets are subject to change based, sometimes at short notice, on operational duties.
