The Duke of Edinburgh joined the crew of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary's newest ship to officially welcome her into the service.

A service of dedication was held on board RFA Stirling Castle while she was alongside in Leith Docks, Edinburgh.

The vessel previously operated as an oil rig support vessel but will now operate as a mothership for the Royal Navy’s new autonomous mine countermeasures systems.
