<p>Multi-talented classical musician, singer and presenter Myleene Klass will have a spectacular bottle-breaking &ldquo;assist&rdquo; from Royal Navy divers when she performs her first-ever Ship&rsquo;s Godmother duties next week by officially naming the 113,000 tonne Carnival Splendor - the biggest passenger ship to sail from Dover Cruise Port.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ultra-fit Petty Officer Christian Rumming, 39, assisted by a Royal Navy dive team led by Lt Ian Richardson, 43, will be underwater near the bow of the Carnival Splendor when he will hear a unique radio signal from Myleene Klass, playing live classical piano music on the ship&rsquo;s top Lido deck. PO Rumming will let out some compressed air from his diving tanks and then personally climb, in wet suit, safety harness and flippers, a 60ft black marlin ascent rope to reach the Carnival Splendor&rsquo;s name on the top of her bow.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>PO Rumming will then break with tradition, for instead of French champagne, he will undertake Myleene&rsquo;s command and smash against the hull a bottle of the highly acclaimed 1994 vintage Nyetimber English sparkling wine, chosen by Carnival to emphasise their selection of Britain to launch their largest and latest superliner.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Myleene Klass said, &ldquo;Not only am I excited about launching my first-ever ship with the Carnival Splendor, but also I am&nbsp; so looking forward to working with the Royal Navy men who seem to be under my command - if only for a couple of minutes! I plan to give PO Chris Rumming the start signal by playing some classical music on Carnival Splendor&rsquo;s baby grand piano.&rdquo;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Lt Ian Richardson of the Royal Navy Fleet Diving Squadron said, &ldquo;This has to be a rather unusual assignment for my men, who are trained in deep sea marine diving and underwater bomb and mine disposal to protect our fleet, but I am confident they can pull this off.&rdquo;</p><p>Carnival Cruise Lines President and CEO Gerry Cahill said, &ldquo;Myleene Klass and the Royal Navy are a unique combination, and we are very honoured that they are joining forces to successfully name the Carnival Splendor.&rdquo;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Carnival Splendor offers a comprehensive selection of restaurants, show-stopping entertainment, four swimming pools, a 5,500 sq ft children&rsquo;s play area and Carnival&rsquo;s largest ever floating spa featuring a thalassotherapy pool, thermal suite and 17 treatment rooms.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Immediately after its Naming Ceremony, Carnival Splendor sets sail for a three day preview cruise to Amsterdam, returning to Dover on July 13, when it will depart on the same day for its official inaugural 12-day cruise to the Baltic countries, visiting Copenhagen; Warnemunde (for Berlin); Helsinki; St Petersburg; Tallinn and Amsterdam.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A video replay of the Carnival Splendor Naming Ceremony can be viewed beginning July 10 at <a href="http://www.carnival.com/splendor">www.carnival.com/splendor</a>. </p><p>&nbsp;</p>
