HMS "Raleigh" is the modern-day basic training facility of the Royal Navy at Torpoint, Cornwall, United Kingdom. It is spread over several square miles, and has damage control simulators and fire-fighting training facilities. Its principal function is the delivery of both New Entry Training & Basic Training.
In 2007, phase one training for all new Royal Navy recruits was increased to nine weeks (from eight) of their career at the base, which also provides courses in military training, seamanship, logistics and submarine operations. It also delivers training for crews preparing for operational deployments. HMS "Raleigh" is also the home of HM Royal Marines Band, Plymouth.
