After 34 years of active service, the longest serving female in the Royal Navy's history, Warrant Officer Class 1 Susan Morgan MBE, has officially retired, aged 52.

WO1 Morgan joined the Wrens in 1978, aged only 17, and served on 5 overseas postings and 3 ships as a Royal Navy Police Officer. She served in Northern Ireland and the Falklands among other places on ships including HMS Invincible and HMS Endurance.

Her final appointment was as the lead mediator and investigator for equality and inclusion issues at Navy Command Headquarters in Portsmouth. This pioneering work resulted in the award of an MBE in 2010.

WO1 Morgan said:

'I have had the most incredible career working with inspiring and amazing people. With a vocation of joining the Police, establishing a career which included travelling the world was a dream come true.

'Naturally in some aspects I will be sad to leave; however, I have been preparing for life outside for the last two years, receiving advice and bespoke resettlement courses, so I'm now looking forward to new challenges and the next chapter of running my own business.'
