A keel laying ceremony for the latest Type 31 frigate being built for the Royal Navy – including a maritime tradition for good luck – has been held in Scotland.
HMS Formidable is the third of the Inspiration-class vessels being built for the senior service at the Babcock Dockyard in Rosyth – the same shipyard where work on both Royal Navy aircraft carriers was completed.
A symbolic coin was placed in the ship’s keel block – a long tradition aimed to act as a blessing for good luck, fortune and safe voyages🪙
