Royal Navy ship HMS Edinburgh has a full schedule on its weeklong trip to NYC

 On Tuesday 12 March, HMS Edinburgh, the last of the Royal Navy’s Type 42 destroyers, docked in Brooklyn for a weeklong visit to New York City en route from the Falkland Islands to the UK.


[[MORE]]

The British Consulate welcomed the ship, known as the “Fortress of the Sea”, with an onboard reception on the evening it arrived. The event’s “Knowledge is GREAT” theme reflected the guest list, comprising UK university alumni, as well as the expertise of the Royal Navy and the ship’s crew. Despite rain, over 75 guests turned out, representing the Gates, Fulbright and Marshall scholarship programmes, and universities including City University London, King’s College London, and the universities of Cambridge, Oxford, Birmingham and Warwick. Attendees posed on the flight deck with the ship’s helicopter, admired the view of Manhattan across the harbour, and enjoyed a stunning Ceremonial Sunset presentation as Commander Nick Borbone put the Union Jack flag to bed.

On Wednesday, 20 members of the ship’s crew were treated to a tour of the New York Stock Exchange, where they saw the opening bell being rung and learned about the history of downtown New York.

Rugby fans on board had plenty of opportunity to flaunt their sporting knowledge and skill. On Thursday 14 March, ten members of the HMS Edinburgh crew joined an equal number from the British Army’s 101 and 33 Engineer Regiments – which specialise in finding and clearing IEDs and who were in town as part of the Redwings Rugby Tour – to participate in a community outreach event organised in conjunction with Play Rugby USA. Play Rugby, whose philosophy is to “develop youth through rugby”, uses the sport to teach kids in need of support about teamwork and leadership, while developing their character through the promotion of citizenship, commitment, discipline and respect. The British Armed Forces teamed up to visit 5 elementary, middle and high schools in Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx, where they helped coach dozens of NYC schoolchildren in tag and tackle rugby.

On Friday Commander Borbone hosted an onboard lunch for the United Nations Military Staff Committee, and on Saturday the crew enjoyed a bit of downtime cheering for their respective teams during the RBS 6 Nations rugby championship. Sunday marked the ship’s departure for Portsmouth, where HMS Edinburgh will be permanently retired after three decades of serving the Royal Navy and British people.
