Heavy Engineering (literally) - 'Drop Stern' is now complete, marking steady progress in the Ship's build.
Note the white 'A' brackets which will now be aligned, that will later house the propeller shafts.

Navy’s new frigate HMS Venturer welcomes Sponsor The Princess Royal for first time
As Sponsor of the Royal Navy’s newest frigate, The Princess Royal has visited HMS Venturer in Rosyth.
Her Royal Highness met those responsible for constructing the UK’s first Type 31 warship, as well as the sailors charged with breathing life into the 455ft vessel and turning her into a working warship ready to serve around the globe.
Venturer is the latest Royal Navy warship sponsored by The Princess Royal – who is also Royal Sponsor of Devonport-based assault ship HMS Albion. The Princess Royal is also Commodore-in-Chief of Portsmouth Naval Base and Chief Commandant of Women in the Royal Navy among numerous long-standing associations with the Senior Service.
As Ship’s Sponsor, Her Royal Highness will have an opportunity to be the Guest of Honour at key moments in HMS Venturer’s life, such as the naming and commissioning ceremonies, and will receive regular updates on the ship’s deeds and the activities of around 115 men and women on board.
Today, with the frigate under construction, the ship’s company numbers just 12 souls, who were introduced to their new sponsor as The Princess Royal toured both the assembly facility and Venturer herself.
The frigate is more than two years into her construction with the hull and much of the superstructure complete in a cavernous, state-of-the-art assembly facility where defence firm Babcock is building all five ships in the Type 31 Inspiration class under contract with the MOD’s Defence Equipment and Support.

HMS Venturer
A day at sea on HDMS Peter Willemoes learning from the Royal Danish Navy's experience of operating the platform on which Venturer's design is based.
An incredible, professional, and welcoming crew.
And a pleasure to sail with the Chief of the RDN.
