HMS Raleigh is the ‘front door’ for entry into the Royal Navy, where ratings from all branches receive their 10-week Initial Naval Training. The seven schools on site provide a broad spectrum of training, ranging from the Submarine School, to Damage Control and Board & Search, which also train members of the Royal Marines, Royal Fleet Auxiliary and the Royal Navy Reserve. On a typical day there are around 2,200 people on site.
