A minehunting ‘mothership’ and autonomous vessels were trialled together for the first time in a milestone moment for the future of the UK’s mine counter measure operations.

Royal Navy Motor Boats Apollo, Hydra and Hazard zipped around the water off the south coast as part of initial loading trials with the recently-purchased Royal Fleet Auxiliary ship.
