A Royal Navy commodore has been made a CBE in this year’s Queen’s Birthday Honours List for his work as Commander of Faslane Flotilla.
Head of the Submarine Service Jim Perks (pictured) was named in the list which was announced today after being delayed because of Covid-19.
Cdre Perks said: “I am hugely honoured and humbled by this award, but it is the superb commitment and dedication of our submariners and particularly their families, that truly deserve this honour – my thanks go to them.
“Having joined the Royal Navy, as a junior rating, 36 years ago, to find myself as Head of the Submarine Service; this has been an incredible journey for me and my family – I am very much ‘made in the Royal Navy!’”
Commodore Bob Anstey, Assistant Chief of Staff Submarines, Flag Officer Scotland and Northern Ireland, received an OBE.
And MBEs were awarded to two submariners – Petty Officer Engineering Technician (Weapon Engineering Submarines) Andrew Hey and engineering officer Lieutenant Ian McInnes.
