Video Come On Board The Royal Navy's Lifeline

Royal Marine Commandos have been on exercise Cyprus for the past week.

They are currently deployed in the Mediterranean as part of a Special Purpose Task Force operating from the amphibious landing ship Royal Fleet Auxiliary Mounts Bay.

Two hundred Royal Marines live and operate from RFA Mounts Bay with 150 Royal Navy and British Army personnel in support.

Mounts Bay has a range of ships that support the Royal Navy around the globe. From floating hospitals to fuel tankers.

Simon Newton went on board to meet some of her crew.
