Sea Cadets named their new flagship on Thursday 18 September at an event held in Canary Wharf London to say farewell to their current flagship.  Richard Sadler, CEO of Lloyds Register Group Services Limited announced the new name as TS Royalist.

He said: “Keeping the legacy of the old flagship alive for future generations and building on the amazing life enhancing opportunity the ship has offered is crucial to both the charity and UK PLC. With the work of the Sea Cadets there is a real opportunity for us all to invest in the next generation for the maritime sector and elsewhere.”

The ship will be formerly named and commissioned for service at a ceremony in early summer 2015. The original TS Royalist was named in honour of HRH The Princess Royal, in 1971.
