Today 12 very lucky Sea Cadets from across the country are at the launch ceremony of our new flagship in Spain! They are joined by the commanding officer of the new flagship, Lt (SCC) Angie Morris RNR, and Captain Sea Cadets, Captain Jonathan Holloway RN.

Captain Jonathan Holloway RN, Captain Sea Cadets, says “This is a monumental occasion for us and a once in a lifetime opportunity for Sea Cadets to see first-hand and experience the launch of their brand new ship! We look forward to next year to the commissioning of the new ship when Sea Cadets will finally have the chance to sail the new ship on an offshore voyage.”

The new ship also called TS Royalist will be ready for the start of the sailing season in 2015 to take thousands of cadets on an offshore voyage they will never forget!

Every year The Royal Navy Board appoints a cadet from each area to be a Navy Board Cadet to represent Sea Cadets at official ceremonies and functions.

POC Keiran, Eastern Area
LC Nikolas, London Area
POC Daniel, Northern Area

POC Charlie, Southern Area
POC Ashley, South West Area

Christmas is coming early for Sea Cadets, as we are launching our brand new flagship in Spain on Friday 19 December. The ceremony will take place at the Astilleros Gondan Shipyard, where she is being built.

The new 32 metre brig, named TS Royalist to honour our previous flagship, will be ready for the 2015 sailing season, and will offer greater use of space, with better all-round sailing ability and performance. We hope she will continue the TS Royalist legacy and continue to give young people offshore adventures for another 40 years.

Two Sea Cadets and a Royal Marines Cadet from Haringey Unit were featured in the single ‘1914 – The Carol of Christmas’ by the group Military Voices. The video was made up of Sea Cadets, the Band of Her Majesty’s Royal Marines Portsmouth, the RAF Spitfire Choir as well as Air Training Corps.

15 year old Cadet Adrian from the unit delivered a copy of the single to No.10 Downing Street as a gift for the Prime Minister and his wife.  

The single has received over 50,000 hits on YouTube in the last week and is now at number 7 on iTunes and number 13 in the Amazon Christmas Chart.
