The Duke of Edinburgh
The Duke of Edinburgh was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Marine Science by Plymouth University
The Duke of Edinburgh opened what is thought to be the UK’s most sophisticated wave energy testing tank at Plymouth University.
The £19m Marine Building heralds a “new dawn” for renewable energy in the region, said the university.
The Duke also unveiled a computer-operated ship simulator used to train future vessel captains.
He was also awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Marine Science by the University.
The doctorate was awarded to “pay tribute to his distinguished and decorated career” in the Royal Navy.
