  • OA Sword 2025

    Lt Cdr Jill Monnox receives the OA Sword from Rear Admiral Steve Moorhouse CBE.

    On the 16th May this year, the OA Sword was presented at Ceremonial Divisions at HMS COLLINGWOOD by the Assistant Chief of the Defence Staff Operations and Commitments, Rear Admiral Steve Moorhouse CBE.

    The OA Sword had previously belonged to Lt Cdr David Cooper, who joined the RN in 1962 and served as a Communications Warfare Officer until leaving in 1987. The sword was originally presented to David by the Governors of the training ship HMS Arethusa on his commissioning in June 1964. Unfortunately, David wasn’t able to join us for the ceremony.
