Warrant Officer 1 (WO1) Dave Deakin, who is currently serving at HMS Raleigh, has been recognised for his involvement in a project to build a new replenishmentat-sea (RAS) training rig at the Cornish base. The modern facility was formally opened last September and is designed to teach sailors how to transfer stores and fuel from ship-toship at sea. It includes representative platforms of ships replenishment stations where sailors can get hands-on experience of the task and a dedicated building for classroom instruction and administration, which bears the name of ‘Deakin Building’. With 28 years’ experience of this operation, WO1 Deakin’s commitment was invaluable to the

project. He said: “To be recognised with such a prestigious award is an honour. Being actively involved with this enormous and influential project, involving numerous organisations and some very enthusiastic people, was an absolute pleasure.”
