Lt David Hardiman RN has been honoured with the Lady Swaythling Trophy from the @ShipwreckedSoc for his quick thinking in preventing a potentially catastrophic collision between HMS Prince of Wales and a passenger ferry.
Lt Hardiman was OOW while the carrier was in the Tyrrhenian Sea at around 2.30am on 19 November 2025, during the final stages of Operation HIGHMAST. As is routine for warships, the ship was not broadcasting on AIS and was preparing to embark Italian F-35s.
The ferry was seen on radar at 15nm, later identified as the passenger ferry GNV Sirio. Although initially expected to pass safely, the ferry unexpectedly altered course towards the carrier and began closing rapidly at high speed.
Hardiman ordered PWLS to turn to starboard and, as the situation worsened, ordered astern power to reduce speed. The ship was also prepared for a possible collision. Collision was averted but this was a serious 'near miss' as the ferry eventually passed just just 400 yards away.
His actions protected more than 1,600 personnel embarked aboard the carrier as well as the passengers and crew of the ferry.

The absolute best at what they do.
Commandos x submarine. A powerful combination.
Commandos emerged from the depths of the North Atlantic on a German U-boat to carry out a daring operation as part of the largest test of all arms of the @Commando_Ops in 15 years.

Rosia Bay/El Rolli, for generations it's been our last real community space..dog walks, swimming, BBQs etc. Now Government wants to sell it to private developers? REALLY!??
£8million or more went to the McGrail Inquiry, can't we spend some money fixing it up for public use?
