Described as 바카라 사이트榓 crown jewel바카라 사이트� in the Defence Estate, HMS Cambria was delivered on time and on budget by RFCA for Wales in partnership with the Royal Navy and Associated British Ports (ABP).
The hugely successful project has enabled HMS Cambria, Wales바카라 사이트� only Royal Navy Reserve unit, to return to its original maritime home in Cardiff, and enjoy a presence near the centre of 바카라 사이트 for Wales.
It was four decades ago that HMS Cambria moved from Cardiff Docks to premises at Sully. Over the years there have numerous attempts to return the unit to the capital, however it was the publication of Defence바카라 사이트檚 Future Reserves 2020 (FR20) programme in 2013 that provided the catalyst enabling HMS Cambria바카라 사이트檚 move back to the capital city.
The bespoke facility now serves as the central hub and operating base for the Ship바카라 사이트檚 company from HMS Cambria; personnel from Wales바카라 사이트檚 University Royal Naval Unit (URNU) who look after student Naval cadets at universities in the city, and the Royal Marine Reserves (RMR).
Reservists now have access to state-of-the-art classroom suites, shared accommodation facilities, administrative services, as well as social and fitness centres all under one roof.
Colonel Nick Beard, Chief Executive of the Reserve Forces바카라 사이트� and Cadets바카라 사이트� Association for Wales said:
Not only has the project enabled HMS Cambria to fittingly return to its original maritime home, but it now offers the best possible facilities for our reservists to work and train. We hope the brand-new facility will inspire future potential reservists from the surrounding areas to sign up to become vital and valued members of the Armed Forces family.
In addition to this 바카라 사이트榗rown jewel바카라 사이트� in the Defence Estate, as described by Captain Mark Wyatt, (Navy Infra Capability Manager Reserves), the RFCA for Wales is responsible for the upkeep of over 400 buildings that are home to cadets and reserves in Wales.
