Typhoon fighter jets currently operating from Lithuania have intercepted a Russian military formation operating over the Baltic Sea, say the Royal Air Force.
Team 31 has successfully completed its 'Whole Ship Preliminary Design Review' marking the end of the engineering functional design phase for the new frigate class.
Progress on the Type 31 Frigate programme continues with work starting on a new build hall, or 'frigate factory', capable of building two frigates at once.
Once operational in the autumn, the facility will take the total number of people working out of the coastal base in the north of Scotland to about 2,200.
