🚢 A huge thank you from the whole Ship’s Company to our incredible Unit Management Team (UMT), parents, and volunteers who gave up their time to help us redecorate our Heads (toilets)! 🙌

This much-needed facelift has really brightened up our unit and made a huge difference – they look fantastic. We couldn’t have done it without you! 💙⚓

Today, Lieutenant Commander Fleming represented us at the Merchant Navy Flag raising ceremony in the town, joining dignitaries and local representatives to mark the occasion. Our thanks and congratulations go to all who attended and supported this important event.🚩⚓️

Earlier this month, Leading Cadet Tom and Able Cadet Amy had the incredible opportunity to be part of the crew of T.S. Royalist, setting sail from Inverness and making their way to Aberdeen.

Full of adventure, teamwork, and spirit, their voyage was an unforgettable experience on the open sea. Both cadets thoroughly enjoyed their time onboard, gaining new skills and memories that will last a lifetime.

On Sunday 17th August, the ship’s company of T.S. Iron Duke proudly joined the local community in commemorating the 80th anniversary of Victory in Japan. The service was a poignant reminder of the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of all those who served during the Second World War. Together, cadets, staff, veterans, and local residents paused to reflect, giving thanks to the brave servicemen and women who fought for our freedom and secured the peace we enjoy today.

This important occasion not only honoured the memory of those who gave so much, but also provided an opportunity for today’s generation to learn, remember, and carry forward the legacy of service and sacrifice.

Sea Cadets Weymouth Week 2025.

The sun had barely risen when our Sea Cadets gathered with excitement bubbling in their voices. This was the week they’d all been waiting for their annual summer escape to Weymouth.

As the coach pulled away, laughter and chatter filled the air, and the promise of adventure hung over them like a clear blue sky. Each day offered something new: the thrill of sailing across open water, the rhythm of oars during rowing sessions, the challenge of rock climbing, and the exhilaration of mountain biking along rugged paths. There were moments of determination, teamwork, and quiet pride as they pushed themselves further than they thought they could.

Evenings were spent sharing stories, playing games and enjoying well-earned rest. By the time the week came to an end, friendships had grown stronger, confidence had soared, and unforgettable memories had been made the kind they’ll treasure for years to come.
