Happy Mother’s Day!

Today we recognise what all mums bring to both to Navy and home. Whether serving at sea or supporting from ashore, your impact reaches far beyond the ship’s company.

To the mums serving onboard the Steel Cat, the partners carrying the load at home, the grandmothers, step mums, the bonus mums, and the women who step into “mum mode” whenever needed, thank you.

We also keep in our thoughts for those whom Mother’s Day may be difficult this year.

Wishing our families, friends and followers a Happy Mother’s Day 💐
