After 10 weeks of basic training, Royal Navy sailors then need to specialise in the role they have chosen.
The young men and women who have opted to become Seaman Specialists train at the Royal Navy School of Seamanship at HMS Raleigh in Cornwall.
Forces News was invited to take a look at the array of practical and technical skills that the sailors need to master during their time there.

Great to see the basic elementary, but crucial skills of seamanship and Naval traditions being taught and practiced still. This type of training is what has always produced the world class Sailors of the Royal Navy. Cheers.👍

a lot of part two training that we did in the 1970/80 in the ops branch and the RO(T) did the flashing lights/flags

Their training looks quite a mouthful , its tough work pulling off a capstan.

Been there done that, but I did not do the bunting bit, that use to be the job of the Radio Operator (Tactical). Just remember boys and girls, when taking turns on a bollard or winch, keep your pinkies well out of the way from the round bits.

Things appear to have moved on a lot since I retired from teaching the Comms part of their training in HMS Collingwood. I wonder if all the training is now being carried out in HMS Raleigh? Good to see a familiar face with POSEA Cameron Evans 🙂

Am I missing something here . Able rates but still under training. In my day you joined the fleet gained experience and completed task books to become an able rate. The navy appears to be going down hill since I was in the mob

In the commercial sector this would be done with three people. The surface fleet is overmanned and undertrained.

Seaman specialists often operate in the rear. The jokes write themselves.

Have some cool stuff, but we need some more ships otherwise these guys are training for nowt. Do a video on what the forces are doing to try to make the public aware we are losing our forces and need more support to get the goverment to build our once great nations forces.

The U.S. Navy divides signaling and seaman ship into separate bos'ns mate and signaling. The video doesn't cover a tenth of what these people do. Walk aboard any ship and if seamen are doing their job right then the rest of the ship is probably in good shape also.
