Dating to the 1950s, this short recruiting film for the Royal Navy begins with scenes from HMS Raleigh. This is a stone frigate (shore establishment), serving as the basic training facility of the Royal Navy at Torpoint, Cornwall, United Kingdom. At :18, new recruits wearing suits arrive to be processed and receive assignment paperwork. At :45, uniforms and complete kits are issued. At :52, recruits wearing HMS Ganges hats (Ganges is also known as Shotley Training Establishment). At :56, recruits are shown in the classroom and the gym, doing physical training. At 1:18, sailors learn to tie knots. At 1:30, lessons in navigation and telegraphy and typing. At 1:47, boiler room discussion. At 1:55, boat lowering drill is shown. At 2:07, a simulation using ropes of a transfer of men from one ship to another. At 2:22, recruits put to sea aboard a warship, where they are seen participating in a naval exercise. At 3:06, an aircraft carrier is shown with jets landing on the deck. At 3:17, a guided missile firing warship is shown, and at 3:30 an anti-submarine warfare exercise. At 3:40, anti-submarine weapons are fired, similar to WWII hedgehogs. At 4:00, sailors write letters to home and listen to a record player as they relax. At 4:24, sailors leave the ship on leave. At 4:40, images of the Middle East including camels and what might be sailors on leave in Morocco. "Join the Navy and See the World."
Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed. For almost two decades, we've worked to collect, scan and preserve the world as it was captured on 35mm, 16mm and 8mm movies -- including home movies, industrial films, and other non-fiction. If you have endangered films you'd like to have scanned, or wish to donate celluloid to Periscope Film so that we can share them with the world, we'd love to hear from you.

I joined the US Navy 42 years ago. Would retire 21 years later.
In Iraq I'm dying to enter the military college , but they want you to pay for them to get approval to join the army . What a shame .
These were the days when the Royal Navy was the second largest Navy in the world, and most modern.
Today it is a mere shadow of its former self.
@@skylongskylong1982 2 brand new aircraft carriers and the Type 45 destroyer, still at the leading edge of tech, even if the size has shrunk.
@@stainlesssteelfox1Glorified coastal defence force. The US Coast Guard has more fire power than your Royal Navy.

The Royal navy existed before the United States was established.
I watch this to look at the country we have destroyed. To remind me what we had...
Same here in the states.
@@richcook2007 You have some hope though with Trump. We have a Labour government who will remove ever more freedoms.
Must be a very, very late 1950's recruitment film, it shows a County class destroyer firing missiles and the first of those wasn't commissioned until 1960.
Yes ! Early 60s ! I
noticed exactly the same !
HMS Devonshire was
commissioned late
in 62.
it reminds me a song of frank sinatra: we join the navy to see the world, but all we see is just a sea

I like the 1969 Monty Python Navy recruitment video better...can you dig it?
