"Proud Moment": New Type 31 Ship HMS Venturer Unveiled for the First Time
- The Royal Navy unveiled HMS Venturer, the first Type 31 frigate, as it rolled out of Babcock's Rosyth shipyard on May 27, 2025.
- This event follows the 2019 selection of Babcock's Arrowhead 140 design and the start of construction in September 2021 under a £1.25 billion contract.
- HMS Venturer measures 139 meters, displaces 5,700 tonnes, has the largest flight deck among Royal Navy frigates, and supports missions from maritime security to humanitarian aid.
- The ship cost about £250 million, excluding government-furnished weapons and sensors, and is expected to enter service by 2027-28 after outfitting and sea trials.
- The rollout marks a key milestone in the Type 31 program that aims to enhance UK naval capability and build five vessels by 2030 amid global defense challenges.
