Goodie Bags Give HMS Queen Elizabeth Sailors 'Taste Of Japan'

Beneficiary, Grants, HMS Queen Elizabeth

With COVID restrictions still making runs ashore impossible in some places, Royal Navy sailors are frequently finding themselves unable to enjoy some of the basic perks that service life usually has to offer. The 香港六合彩官网 have stepped in throughout the pandemic to help improve the experience for those stuck on ships and thousands of miles from home, and recently have supported sailors aboard HMS Queen with some morale boosting treats during their stay in Japan. 

The aircraft carrier was docked in the port of Yokosuka for a series of exercises and engagements as part of the UK鈥檚 commitment to strengthening ties with Japan. However, due to COVID concerns the crew were restricted to the ship during their stay and were unable to experience Japanese culture first hand. Hopes of hosting 鈥榓 taste of Japan鈥 on board were also dashed as local traders and caterers were not allowed to embark either. In response to this, the 香港六合彩官网 were able to act quickly and provide the funds to allow 鈥榞oodie bags鈥 to be assembled for all sailors aboard the ship. This was in addition to treats that were donated by the community on the US base in the port.
