Monday, May 14th, 2012naval service fleet review 2012
Thursday, April 12th, 2012President Michael D. Higgins took part in a review of the Naval Service in Cobh yesterday.
5 ships took part, L.E. Eithne the flagship of the Irish Naval service, LE Niamh, LE Aisling, LE Aoife and HMS Mersey from the Royal Navy. LE Eithne was moored at the deepwater quay, waiting to welcome the president aboard for the review.
Once the 4 ships had arrived in Cobh, they anchored just offshore and prepared for the review.

The president boarded LE Eithne, and LE Eithne moved down towards Whitegate, to turn and conduct the fleet review heading upriver.

As LE Eithne passed each ship, they saluted each other.

You can see more photos from the event on my flickr.
