The Dreadnought Class - one of the world's most complex engineering projects - will be the Royal Navy’s biggest, most powerful and technically advanced submarines when they begin to enter service in the early 2030s. At 154 metres long - equivalent to 15 double-decker buses lined up end-to-end - the Dreadnought boats will be bigger than Astute, as well as the Vanguard Class that they'll replace. BAE Systems has invested more than £1 billion in advanced technology and upgraded infrastructure at its Barrow shipyard (where work on the first two boats is well underway) to enable it to deliver Dreadnought, with £450 million of further investment to be made over the life of the programme. The Dreadnought programme supports almost 30,000 British jobs with a supply chain spend of £7.5 billion across 1,500 UK companies. #ukmanufacturing #defencesectorjobs #supplychain

@thompsonrents has the weapons to take care of anything that stands in your way! The dozer became part of popular culture due to its superior performance during World War II. American Admiral William F. Halsey once said, “If I had to give credit to the instruments and machines that won us the war in the Pacific, I would rank them in this order: submarines first, radar second, planes third, bulldozers fourth.” “Boss of the Beach,” said Army Engineers Chief Major General Eugene Reybold about the dozer. “The indispensable, all-purpose weapon of the Engineers.” What the World War II news coverage seldom made clear was that the dozer (also called a bulldozer) was not the tractor, but actually the steel plate and operating mechanism, made by a supplier, that was attached to a standard Caterpillar track-type tractor. During this era, it was not uncommon for companies to make earthmoving tools, such as dozer blades, that were specifically designed for Caterpillar tractors. “Evolution Of The Dozer.” Caterpillar.com, https://lnkd.in/eMRW-ra6. @thecatrentalstore #dozer #caterpillar #construction #dirt #dowork #whateverittakes #rental

Classification Society Requirements for Steering Systems 🚢 In the maritime industry, the reliability and safety of a ship's steering system are paramount. Classification societies have set stringent requirements to ensure that vessels can navigate safely under various conditions. Here are some key requirements for a more details you can check my work at this file #marine #naval #mechanical #engineering

A well and executed complex program leveraging simultaneous collaboration of multiple specialized engineering companies. Key being the engaged orchestration of multi-disciplied System Engineering.

We need to build a bigger fleet and invest in our other services - if we cut back on sick Britain and the welfare state we can enable programmes to reduce unemployment and boost British morale. Let’s kick well above what we are able to do and Turn our country into a United Kingdom. One parliament will save money - don’t need all these airheads. In the modern age we don’t need 4 parliaments - all this is wasted investment

'The top 20 attributes that make submariners stand out as true professionals' People who have served in a Submarine are a rare breed. They possess a unique skillset which makes them very effective at what they do. The traits I outline below form part of a much wider skillset. But nevertheless they provide a snapshot of what it means to spend a life underwater for long periods of time, and call yourself a Submariner. They encapsulate why everyone who has served in Submarines is proud to have done so, and why they wear their Submarine badge with pride long after they have left the Service. Over the next week, I will unpack each one in turn and show just why these traits are also valuable within the world of civilian employment: 1. They are able to exhibit continual focus and patience, 2. Attention to detail is everything, 3. Trust is the cement that holds everything together - Trust in equipment, training and fellow shipmates, 4. They show 100% commitment to the Mission and its successful completion, 5. They demonstrate supreme mental resilience, 6. They operate with a work hard, play hard mentality, 7. They do not play by the rules, and will do anything to ensure mission success, 8. They have an innate ability to deal with sudden and immediate step changes in pace of activity, when either increasing and decreasing, 9. They are multi-skilled and perform a range of roles outside their specialisation, 10. They have an ability to absorb, collate and process large volumes of information to form 3D situational awareness, 11. Humour always, even when things are very bad, 12. They subjugate their own interests for the good of the team, 13. They are able to compartmentalise their private and work lives, in order to focus on the mission, 14. They have an ability to sleep at 5 minutes notice and seek regain opportunities whenever they are presented. This is because sleep itself is a weapon! 15. Recognition and respect are based on proven capability rather than rank or position, 16. They are extremely aggressive in war-fighting and prosecuting the enemy, 17. They have pride in the Service, the Submarine and the crew, 18. They are never afraid to challenge and ask questions, regardless of the position of the person in the crew, 19. Regardless of their main role, they know their Submarine in and out, from bow to stern, and from port to starboard. They know how to operate the submarine in all modes and to fight it to the limit of its operating envelope, 20. They foster a self-correcting culture which means they are always at the top of their game. And this is why we wear our Submarine badge with pride!

An excellent list of top attributes of a 'Submariner'. All proven, all true. Year in, year out. We don't tend to 'big ourselves up' much, but every Submariner has demonstrated these characteristics. It is the ethos we are raised on, the ethos we mentor into others. Thankyou Steve Strange for sharing this list! 🏴☠️🇬🇧 #leadership #management #royalnavy #mentoring #coaching #submarines

🌊 Time for another #SeaStorySaturday, my twist on #SocialSaturday. Let's call today's story "The time we moved the IT Infrastructure from the Barge to the Boat, without Electrical Power." When a submarine is in the shipyard undergoing extensive maintenance, it might go "Dead Electric." This means the ship is uninhabitable, so we're provided an old barge to work from. The LAN on the boat is the only IT resource to the sailors, covering everything from email to work controls. Towards the end of one shipyard period, with schedules slipping, my CO had an idea: let's move the LAN back to the boat ON TIME, forcing the Shipyard to rush to get power back since we 'needed it so bad'. I strongly protested, but orders are orders. The crew was outraged when the LAN didn't work after we moved it, but hey, the IT team finally got some time off until electricity came back. 😅 What's your favorite #SeaStory? Tell me about it in the comments below! #Navy #IT #Leadership #SubmarineLife

Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are increasingly important for modern navies, providing a range of capabilities from surveillance to reconnaissance and even mine detection. Having a pack of three such submarines could significantly enhance the operational effectiveness of the Australian Navy, offering flexibility and reducing risks to human personnel. A well-executed project like this would indeed be a significant asset to the Australian Navy, illustrating the potential of unmanned technologies in modern military operations.
