HMS Collingwood (shore establishment)

HMS Collingwood is a stone frigate (shore establishment) of the Royal Navy, in Fareham, England.

It is the lead establishment of the Maritime Warfare School and the largest naval training organisation in Western Europe.

The current shore establishment was commissioned as the fourth HMS Collingwood on 10 January 1940, initially to instruct "hostilities only" ratings of the seaman branch.

Wireless telegraphy ratings started their training in June 1940, and a radio direction finding school was added in 1942.

[6] In November 2020 the Royal Navy announced that, in January 2021, HMS Collingwood would take its first intake of ratings recruits for their initial training package, a role normally completed by HMS Raleigh, and that there would be places for 500 recruits.
