First steel cut on new patrol ships
Steel was cut for the first of 3 new Royal Navy offshore patrol vessels (OPVs) at a ceremony in Glasgow.
The vessels, which will be used by the Royal Navy to undertake various tasks in support of UK interests both at home and abroad, will be built at BAE Systems’ shipyards under a £348 million contract that has protected more than 800 Scottish jobs.
