There have been a number of real ships named HMS Excellent over the years, but since around 1920 the name has been associated with the Royal Naval Gunnery training School at Whale Island in Portsmouth Harbour.

Apart from gunnery training it is responsible for teaching drill and has an unrivalled reputation within the Royal Navy for spit and polish.

HMS Excellent now is a National Training Centre for the Sea Cadet Corps.
