For the first time in the history of the Royal Navy sailors and officers today passed out side-by-side.
The parade ground of Britannia Royal Naval College in Dartmouth – the spiritual home of the officer cadre for the past 115 years – witnessed a unique ceremony as 34 ratings and 130 officers completed their training.

Britain’s most senior sailor, First Sea Lord Admiral Tony Radakin, welcomed the ratings – who formed a guard of honour – and officers into the naval family as the guest of honour.
Traditionally, the nine-week transformation from civilian to sailor takes place at HMS Raleigh in Torpoint, but with a surge in interest in joining the Navy, an additional course was provided at Dartmouth.
Captain Roger Readwin, the Captain of BRNC, bristled with pride at the sight of officers and ratings passing out together.

“It is magnificent to see them all standing side-by-side, as they will at sea in the years to come. Our people are the life blood of the Royal Navy – the single most important factor, and it is our people capability which sits at the core of a transforming Royal Navy.
