Captain Susan Cloggie-Holden with former commanding officer Captain Angus Bissell. Pic: Kyle Heller Susan said: “I feel very privileged to have the opportunity of taking command of a vessel of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary – it is a pivotal moment. “When I commenced my career as a Cadet there hadn’t been any female Senior Officers, therefore I feel honoured to be the first female Captain in the Royal Fleet Auxiliary. “I hope that this will provide all women within the organisation to aspire to achieve whatever they put their minds to.” Comments & Moderation Readers’ comments: You are personally liable for the content of any comments you upload to this website, so please act responsibly.
