Suitably qualified and experienced personnel have deployed to the UK Naval Support Facility in Bahrain and are conducting accident investigation and damage assessment work following the collision between HMS Bangor and HMS Chiddingfold.

It would not be appropriate to comment until the investigations have been completed and a full assessment of the damage is known.
