Summary created with AI assistance · Source: ukdefencejournal.org.uk

HMS Venturer, the inaugural vessel of the Royal Navy’s five Type 31 frigates, is staged atop submersible barge CD01 at Rosyth for float-off.

The barge will be submerged to allow the ship to enter the water before returning to Rosyth for further outfitting and commissioning.

CD01 previously facilitated float-offs for HMS Glasgow and HMS Cardiff, underlining its pivotal role in Type 26 and Type 31 shipbuilding programs.

This launch method offers a flexible, efficient alternative to traditional slipway launches, aligning with modular production approaches.
