HMS Vanguard Visit
The Unit was lucky enough to be welcomed aboard HMS Vanguard while berthed at Faslane Naval Base. We were given a guided tour by a previous cadet from the Ayr Unit (Mac) with the permission of his Commanding Officer. The Day was a huge success with the cadets and staff gaining excellent knowledge of the submariner way of life.
