Sea Cadets new flagship has been officially named and commissioned by HRH The Princess Royal today in London.
Over 40 years ago, HRH The Princess Royal named our former flagship TS Royalist. We were delighted to welcome her back again to name our brand new ship, designed to be an even better sail training experience.
One hundred cadets from all over the country travelled to take part in this exciting event, which included an inspection of the cadets by The Princess Royal, songs from Sefton Sea Cadets Glee Club and a performance from the Massed Band of the Sea Cadets Corps. POC Charlie, Navy Board Cadet for Southern Area, volunteered to read the Sea Cadets prayer in front of the 150 guests. He said: "I felt honoured to read the prayer. Being in Sea Cadets is an amazing experience and gives you a real sense of pride."
