Nice footage - is there a reason for the water being sprayed by the tugs?

[@PortsmouthHarbourBoats]

Hi Brian, I've no idea to be honest. They're been doing the water salute quite a bit recently. It's nice to see.

[@brianbracherphotography]

@@PortsmouthHarbourBoats I wondered if it was to keep the drones away 😂

[@johnblaber3461]

brian the tugs use their water cannons as a salute/mark of respect to the IRON DUCK as she is known, its the 1st time in 5 years since she was here last i believe. the falklands ships got the same treatment when they came back too.

@@johnblaber3461 Thanks John, yes I do remember that. 👍
