Aircraft carriers, assault ships, destroyers or frigates: the Surface Fleet is the Royal Navy’s backbone.
If you’re eager to see your work in action, then the Surface Fleet is for you. Your priority will be to defend the UK’s interests, but your impact will be bigger: keeping global trade flowing and stepping in to support civilians all over the world when natural disasters strike.
Work on awe-inspiring vessels in our extensive fleet – from destroyers and frigates to minesweepers and aircraft carriers. As part of the world’s most impressive naval fleets, you’ll be uniquely positioned to respond to threats and disasters across the world’s waters.
You could be stopping drug traffickers in the Caribbean one week, and bringing humanitarian relief to refugees in the Mediterranean the next. If limitless travel opportunities and variety in your work day excite you, look no further than the Surface Fleet.
There are endless opportunities for career development. You’ll be able to work towards any qualification you want, including GSCEs, undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, and industry-specific charterships. A future in the Surface Fleet means you’ll get further, faster.
Whether practical or strategic, you’ll play a key part in global naval operations.
Get into the thick of the action. Identify targets and threats, and analyse, plan, and execute essential global operations.
Work with some of the most state-of-art technology on the planet and ensure it’s ready and reliable in any situation.

Provide professional care in the most extraordinary circumstances and train at the highest level, at sea or on base.
