About Royal Naval Academy
The Royal Naval Academy was a naval academy to train officers for the Royal Navy. It was established in Portsmouth Dockyard in 1733. The founders' intentions were to provide an alternative means to recruit officers and to provide standardised training, education and admission. In 1806 it was renamed the Royal Naval College and in 1816 became the Royal Naval College and the School for Naval Architecture. It was closed as a training establishment for officer entrants in 1837 and for lieutenants and above in 1873.
