PA is pleased to announce that working alongside a team of engineers from Babcock Marine (Devonport) Ltd that it has successfully completed, on schedule, the Setting to Work of the Integrated CBRN Radial Filter System for HMS Ocean. This is the largest Setting to Work project undertaken on behalf of the Royal Navy and is equivalent to the work required to prepare four Type 23 Frigates.
