South African Naval College, Naval training institution in Saldanha, South Africa
The South African Naval College operates alongside Stellenbosch University to provide comprehensive military education for naval officers through specialized programs.
The institution traces its origins to 1885 with HMS Thames, which became TS General Botha in 1920 and trained 1,276 cadets until 1942.
The college maintains strong connections with naval traditions through joint operations and training exercises with neighboring African maritime forces.
Students receive academic instruction in military sciences while developing maritime skills through hands-on training in Saldanha Bay's waters.
