Behind the scenes as Royal Navy sailors learn the ropes to become Seaman Specialists

After 10 weeks of basic training, Royal Navy sailors then need to specialise in the role they have chosen.
The young men and women who have opted to become Seaman Specialists train at the Royal Navy School of Seamanship at HMS Raleigh in Cornwall.
Forces News was invited to take a look at the array of practical and technical skills that the sailors need to master during their time there.

The title of this videos a mouthful

[@riparianlife97701]

What are you really trying to say? Spit it out.

[@Monkey-ud8bw]

Whoever came up with the title well played 👏

[@edgar0517]

Oh it just keeps giving

[@steviem8466]

'How Sailors become Seaman speacialists' Unfortunate reference on your thumbnail

[@RonaldTrumpOfficial]

It’s a mouthful to say, I have to say..

[@BritMemes]

They now what they did 😂

[@riparianlife97701]

I laughed at this title, because I'm a mental toddler.

[@alanmcmillan6969]

This ias where people become the future of the Royal Navy! Very cool!

[@danbrewer]

Great to see this, I am joining as a seaman spec in under 2 months time 💪

[@rafman016]

Rally interesting look behind the scenes - thank you

[@59patrickw]

a lot of part two training that we did in the 1970/80 in the ops branch and the RO(T) did the flashing lights/flags

[@heatpump8566]

Great video

[@snowflakemelter1172]

Their training looks quite a mouthful , its tough work pulling off a capstan.

[@ronaldmelia1172]

Been there done that, but I did not do the bunting bit, that use to be the job of the Radio Operator (Tactical). Just remember boys and girls, when taking turns on a bollard or winch, keep your pinkies well out of the way from the round bits.

[@Pkw4js]

That's a lot to swallow.

[@garagenigel]

I went to school with a few seamen specialists

[@Mark-z1l]

Things appear to have moved on a lot since I retired from teaching the Comms part of their training in HMS Collingwood. I wonder if all the training is now being carried out in HMS Raleigh? Good to see a familiar face with POSEA Cameron Evans 🙂

[@user-dz4wn4dw4q]

It's all held at HMS Raleigh Now, moved from HMS Collingwood

[@Mark-z1l]

Thanks for the info, I am somewhat behind the times now.

[@edgar0517]

Beautiful title hahahaha

[@ChristopherBosch-ff1dt]

Hem hew arms on both sides of sewing machine then your hands flat on fabric each side of. Push and pull. Though.

[@BritMemes]

You know what you did with that thumbnail and title 😂

[@BIBIWCICC]

In the commercial sector this would be done with three people. The surface fleet is overmanned and undertrained.

[@nicoefc]

Am I missing something here . Able rates but still under training. In my day you joined the fleet gained experience and completed task books to become an able rate. The navy appears to be going down hill since I was in the mob

[@sweeptheleg.]

He said, "seaman!" 😂😂😂

[@TheRealSpicke]

well, you know the joke... 😏

[@riparianlife97701]

Seaman specialists often operate in the rear. The jokes write themselves.

[@APower2004]

Shame they only get paid 16k a year . Less than a maccies worker full time

[@JelMain]

When finished, they're far more employable, though.

[@stevebarlow3154]

The food is a lot better than at McDonald's!

[@Gasher82nd]

Have some cool stuff, but we need some more ships otherwise these guys are training for nowt. Do a video on what the forces are doing to try to make the public aware we are losing our forces and need more support to get the goverment to build our once great nations forces.

[@ak9989]

Omg some comments are so infantile but hilarious 😂

[@peterward4005]

Creme de la creme

[@jamesdoyle5405]

The U.S. Navy divides signaling and seaman ship into separate bos'ns mate and signaling. The video doesn't cover a tenth of what these people do. Walk aboard any ship and if seamen are doing their job right then the rest of the ship is probably in good shape also.

[@ak9989]

Britain doesn't rule the waves😂

[@Youtube_deleted_my_favourites]

All that training just to spend weeks cleaning the flats

[@mickh8231]

😂

[@anthonyroyle6641]

Seaman specialist 😂

[@RonaldTrumpOfficial]

What an unfortunate title…

[@bigdaveo397]

The Navy boys have always been semen specialists

[@geoffreyhattersley9186]

They all leave training and then don’t do their job unless they in operations of war, they are painting and scrubbing out

[@uncleyeetous-yeet8391]

what a horrid title

[@1mm0rtaldreads]

Iv dated quite a few semen specialists

[@phucknuts.7065]

My comment was deleted it said” I couldn’t face it”.

[@ak9989]
