History

HMS Excellent was a Royal Navy gunnery training establishment in Portsmouth harbour between 1830 and 1985. Training was initially done in the hulk of a wooden warship named Excellent built in 1797. In 1886, the school moved ashore to Whale Island in. The school finally closed in 1985. HMS Excellent re-opened in 1994 and is now the location of the Damage Control School.
