This article, and the Royal Naval College article don't mention earlier British Naval Colleges. But there were earlier Naval Colleges. Sir Philip Broke was a graduate in the 18th Century.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Geo Swan (talkcontribs) 16:18, 22 December 2004


[edit] Fact Check

This phrase doesn't make sense "Cadets originally joined the Royal Naval College, Osborne, at the age of 13 for two years before joining Dartmouth, and thereafter cadets spent four years at Dartmouth before starting sea training at 17. " If you start at 13, add two, then you join Dartmouth at 15, four years after that you'd be 19 when you start sea training. Doesn't make sense. Mbisanz (talk) 04:23, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
