HMAS Cerberus, Naval training establishment in Mornington Peninsula, Australia.
HMAS Cerberus spans 1517 hectares along Western Port Bay, functioning as the Royal Australian Navy's primary training facility for military personnel.
The naval base, initially named Flinders Naval Depot in 1911, received its commission as HMAS Cerberus in 1921 and expanded during World War II.
The establishment maintains two religious chapels, Our Lady of the Sea for Catholics and St Mark's for Anglican services, serving the spiritual needs of naval personnel.
The complex houses multiple training schools, including the School of Survivability and Ship Safety, preparing approximately 6000 personnel annually for naval service.
The Crib Point Satellite Earth Station within HMAS Cerberus operates as Australia's dedicated weather satellite ground station, supporting meteorological services since 1991.
