Babcock has unveiled the Royal Navy’s first Type 31 frigate, HMS Venturer (F12), at its Rosyth facility in Scotland. This milestone signals the shift from the ship’s three-year construction phase to its final outfitting ahead of military commissioning. The vessel was repositioned using custom-built transport cradles in preparation for its initial float-out on the River Forth later this summer. Once afloat, HMS Venturer will return to Rosyth for dockside system integration and sea trial preparations.
