Excellent stuff there Jon,you should be VERY PROUD indeed,which you obviously are.
.. nice to see that there are still some proper lads out there.. most of what I see see these days look more interested in their hair,social media,and,how they can get away with doing bugger all!!
Top man,I wish him all the very best in his chosen,and VERY honourable career

This brings back some memories for me.
I was a project manager for Flagship, and looked after the building of 4 accomodation blocks at HMS Raleigh.
I was based in Fareham at HMS Collingwood, where I looked after the building of Warspite, PAYD and various accomodation units. also the refurb of Marlborough building, this was all circa 2002 - 2008.
You son will no doubt know these buildings.
Loved my time doing work for the RN.
