The fortunes of one of the Royal Navy’s most powerful warships have been turned around by the actions of an officer.
Lieutenant Commander Annabel Roberts has scooped the Most Collaborative Award in this year’s Women in Defence Awards for her work returning HMS Dauntless to action following a catalogue of repair delays.

Well done 👍
That's some excellent man management and leadership, I suspect there are big things in this young lady's future if she carries on like that.
Amazing that the Royal Navy is implementing Standup Scrums, it is a very useful tool and im glad she's getting credit for her work.
Stricken? theve seen little service their mostly tied up broke what a palava.
Seems like a really low goal post for an achievement or am I missing something?
Good for her! However let down by this video and interviewing! What did she actually do? What department is she? This video makes it out like all she did was convene a meeting when I’m sure it was an awful lot more than just that.
Excellent leadership skills and congratulations on a well deserved award. Keep kicking them up the bum like that and it wont be long before your own command comes your way. 😊
The only reason she won that award is because she’s a woman and that’s the truth of it.
Genuine question; do they have a men in defence award?
When will we see the men's version of this award on here? I guess we need to cover all of the various genders to be truly fair here.
Building a safe environment is more important, as well as instruments
Natural disasters are real and people do not truly understand the mineral deposits underground
including natural gas development that can cause explosions, there are also more potential hazards.
People usually wait for accidents to happen allegedly before they make changes
When construction sites excavate minerals under the ground they find massive rocks etc
that they may not even understand existed.
erosion Lol
No mean feat to get everyone on the same page and headed in the same direction, well done to her, now here is the big but… she has the drive to do her job, that is what she is paid to do, my question is, what the hell were her predecessors doing, certainly not their jobs. I see some people's careers coming to a screeching halt or perhaps out of the RN. I think that there was more going on in the background than what this video program scope allows.
Well done, about time these T45’s got this Power Improvement Plan sorted glad to see HMS Dauntless hopefully operational next year she has spent far too much time in Dry dock.
I have reported into women in many non-military career positions and without exception they have ranged from very good to brilliant at their jobs. Now retired I still happily "report" into a woman and have done for the last 32 years, "that's been fun" as Eddie Izzard would say.
Maybe if it was built properly in the first place we would not need more tax payers money getting wasted MOD need there budget cut for every mistake they make.
Is it just me who finds it weird that awards are separated by gender?
So she did her job?
Why were men excluded from the award?
A lot of tosh. She would have been the refit coordinating officer (because there is no job related work for the Ops officer while the ship is in refit. Her job would have been to organise the meeting and update the plan as a result of the decisions made by the ‘ technicals’ during the meeting. This award is a PR exercise blowing smoke up her ****.
2 zircons flew by – they haven't noticed.

Brilliant work but completely sexist award. These ships should never have been delivered or paid for until these systems worked. Did the original spec include non working power plants?
There were propulsion issues with Duncan before she even left the yard so why were the rest even accepted after the CST's
I love British accent.
Thank you ma'am for being such an important piece in the defense of our nation and the free world. God save the king!
She did a great job and deserves to be recognised for her work, let's hope it's not just because she is a woman as this degrades he achievement. As an old merchant marine engineer the navy has always been the but of jokes when it comes to incompetent maintenance management so anyone in navy who shows ability needs to be awarded the respect and given more responsibility to fix the system and waist of money.
Was she an engineer?
When she spoke it was platitudes and euphemisms. What was the problem and what did she do to fix it ?
That's great and all. The bigger question is, why did it get to that stage in the 1st place and whats being done to stop from happening again??
What an excellent leader she is! A true asset to the forces !
Hope she makes it to the very top in her career ! Capable and motivated people are pure but rare gold these days!
Load bull these ships were destined to have the propulsion systems overhauled years ago she had nothing to do with these changes being completed, been on these donkeys for ten years now waste of tax payers money although ile keep taking it ,,work 4 paid 12 ,,,love it …..
Outstanding officer.
Bravo Zulu!
How is the other white elephant doing HMS Prince…..King ? Wales. Anyway is it still knackered…..
