After the union between Denmark and Norway dissolved in 1814, the Kongelige Norske Søcadet-Institut (Royal Norwegian Sea Cadet Institute) was opened in 1817 at the main naval base at Fredriksvern.

In 1864 both the main base and the Sea Cadet Institute were moved to Horten, where the operations continued until 1940.

During the subsequent German occupation of Norway, a temporary Naval Academy was established in London in 1941.

After the war the academy was first located in Oslo, but in 1960 it was relocated to the present site in Laksevåg, Bergen.
