HMS Raleigh, Naval training establishment in Torpoint, Cornwall, United Kingdom
HMS Raleigh extends across multiple acres in Cornwall, featuring specialized training facilities, damage control simulators, and fire-fighting training zones for naval personnel.
The establishment opened on January 9, 1940, to train Ordinary Seamen following the Military Training Act requiring military service for males aged 20 and 21.
The training divisions at HMS Raleigh carry names of notable Royal Navy figures and events, maintaining connections with British maritime traditions.
New recruits undergo a ten-week basic training program that includes seamanship skills, military discipline, and physical fitness preparation for naval service.
The facility maintains a permanently moored training ship, the former HMS Brecon, used for practical maritime instruction and real-world scenario training.
