Bournemouth School CCF
Navy Section 
|
The CCF's Royal Navy section
prides itself on it's close association with both the Royal
Navy and the Royal Marines. Cadets are taught a balanced
combination of seamanship skills, sailing and navigation
techniques in conjunction with "green army"
soldering.

Cadets in the Navy section
get a lot of contact with the Royal Navy and Royal Marines through the
activities they take part in. Cadets will learn sailing
skills, ship recognition,
command tasks
and navigation through a carefully managed mixture of classroom
and practical tuition. These are then put to
test through opportunities such as the navigation exercises
off the West Coast of Scotland on the Clyde Fleet Tender camp.
The Navy Section is proud of our affiliation with HMS Portland;
the Royal Navy's newest and fastest Type
23 Frigate. This allows cadets the opportunity to go onboard as well as fly in Navy helicopters..

| The Royal Marines are the Navy's infantry;
providing a highly mobile, self-sustained and versatile force.
On permanent readiness to deploy across the globe, they
provide a strategic capability that is unique among the UK
Armed Forces. |

Bournemouth School's CCF Navy section is very
fortunate to have close contact with the Royal
Marines based at Hamworthy, Poole which is only a few miles away.
This gives the RN section
the opportunity of, among other things, going out with the
Marines on rigid raiders. RM Poole also hosts the use of
their 30 metre small-arms outdoor and the indoor
"cine" ranges.

|
Navy section
recruits also learn survival skills like field cooking, as well as being taught to cope with emergencies that
could occur out to sea.
Finally, command tasks and exercises are another essential part of the Navy cadet’s training to improve their
leadership abilities.
