~ HMS Caledonia ~

His Majesty’s Ship Caledonia (HMS Caledonia) is a military establishment of the Royal Navy based next to the former Royal Naval Dockyard, Rosyth in Scotland.

HMS Caledonia was first opened in 1937 and responsible for artificer apprentice training from 1937 to 1985, with many thousands of young men going through training. Following the consolidation of naval training in 1985, the site lost its training status with the former apprentice training moving to HMS Sultan in Gosport. The site was subsequently reduced to become part of HMS Cochrane.
