First Royal Navy ship visits Cambodia in 65 years
First Royal Navy ship visits Cambodia in 65 years

Royal Navy strengthens diplomatic ties in Cambodia (Picture: Royal Navy)
HMS Spey became the first Royal Navy warship to visit Cambodia in 65 years, arriving to mark almost 70 years of diplomatic relations between the UK and Cambodia.
The crew of HMS Spey spent five days in Ream Naval Base, 100 miles southwest of the capital Phnom Penh, participating in a series of public relations events.
HMS Spey became the first Royal Navy warship to visit Cambodia since HMS Alert's visit in February 1958.
The river patrol vessel sailed into the port of Sihanoukville almost 65 years to the day that the White Ensign was last seen in a Cambodian harbour.
The two countries are looking to strengthen military ties, having accredited the first non-resident military attaché since the 1970s and welcoming the first Cambodian student at Sandhurst military academy.
HMS Spey hosted capability demonstrations, briefings, and a formal reception for senior Cambodian military figures.
Commander Michael Proudman, Spey’s Commanding Officer, said his ship and sailors had been warmly received in the Southeast Asian country.
The visit to Cambodia by HMS Spey came on the back of a five-day stop in Ho Chi Minh City in neighbouring Vietnam – with similar aims, marking 50 years of diplomatic relations between the UK and Vietnam.

What do you mean "looks like they had a good time" it's two pictures of a ceremony that absolutely no one there wants to be at
I can almost promise you more than 80% of the crowd were busy looking at their phones while these fellas were chatting away on stage

Hello, Sailor

Meanwhile, below decks, the laundry personnel exchange tips on dress whites.
Bong- your dress whites not same
Mate- that’s ‘cos we don’t don’t bleach the shit out of them, and we keep the supply/qm happy.

Looks like the HMS Spey has the last remaining all-white football team on Earth.
