HMS Eaglet (Liverpool)

HMS Eaglet is the Royal Naval Reserve unit associated with Liverpool.

The unit is immensely proud to continue the Royal Navy’s long maritime heritage on Merseyside.

Based within the superbly appointed Naval Regional Headquarters, our long association with Merseyside was formally recognised on May 2nd 1993: the unit was awarded the Freedom of Entry into the City of Liverpool.
