NULC students selected for tour of battleship

BTEC Public Services students from NULC were invited to tour a military battleship.

The students paid a visit to the Type 42 Destroyer HMS Liverpool whilst it was berthed alongside in its affiliated city of Liverpool

The ship is being 'retired' later in the year after 30 years of Service and therefore the students from NULC were amongst a very few select organisations that were allowed a tour of the ship during its very last visit to the city.

Public Services Lecturer Paul Morris said: "The students were able to see at first hand the weapons systems, living accommodation and operations room on board."

He continued: "We were very lucky and privileged to get on board as there were many colleges, schools and voluntary organisations that wanted a tour of the ship and were turned away."

As part of the BTEC Public Services course students undertake a series of visits to various Uniformed Public Service organisations throughout the year.
