HMS Excellent is unique in many respects. Not only is it the oldest shore training establishment within the Royal Navy, with many proud and important traditions, it is also forward looking and progressive in the training for which it is responsible.
HMS Excellent is also one of the newest establishments having been recommissioned in 1994 to deliver a wide range of different training functions aimed at preparing our personnel for life at sea. In addition HMS Excellent provides support for a number of lodger units, most notably the Headquarters of Commander in Chief Fleet, and the UK's Operational Battle Staffs.
