HMS Bulwark – Jack Bostock
HMS Bulwark (L15)
On Sunday 1st May, I was lucky enough to be amongst the 30 individuals selected to stay on board HMS Bulwark, which is currently the Royal Navy’s 2nd biggest Warship in the fleet.
As a member of the Royal Navy section of the CCF I was delighted to be given this opportunity. I was able to speak openly to the ship’s Company about their roles within the Royal Navy and the routes they took to be part of such an amazing life.
Whilst on board I had to opportunity to complete several interesting activities; from firefighting, working with the Officer of the Watch to complete early morning bridge “watches” as well as driving the ship and travelling to the Isle of Man on a Royal Marines landing craft – just to name a few!
I am hoping to one day become a Warfare Officer so I was happy to have the opportunity to roam freely around the warship to see and understand the daily routine, as well as the regular tasks that Warfare Officers have to do.
The highlight of the visit was entering Liverpool on Friday morning. The hazy skyline that was presented to us as we progressed up the River Mersey was an incredible hair raising experience. The thought of entering your own City on a British Warship is mind-blowing!
The Crew that welcomed us and looked after us were so kind, helpful and supportive. A big thank you must go to them. I would like to thank the CCF for their support, with a special mention going to Sub Lieutenant Daniels who showed us round the ship. Thanks must also go to Chief Petty Officer Urie and also Lieutenant Davidson who organised the trip.
