Based in Lisburn, HMS Hibernia is Northern Ireland's Royal Naval Reserve unit.
The Royal Naval Reserve has been in existence in Northern Ireland since 1924. Originally based in HMS Caroline in Belfast, since 2009 we have been based in HMS Hibernia at Lisburn.
As the only RNR unit in Northern Ireland, our Reservists represent a cross section of the Northern Ireland population. Although many of our ship’s company come from the Greater Belfast area our catchment area encompasses the whole of the Island of Ireland.
The RNR’s connection to Northern Ireland is long and distinguished, dating back to the formation of the Ulster Division of the RNVR in 1924.
Members of the Ulster Division RNVR mobilise to serve throughout the fleet during WW2.
In December 2009, when HMS Caroline was decommissioned, the unit was moved ashore to Lisburn and commissioned as HMS Hibernia.
HMS Hibernia celebrates its 10th anniversary and the 95th anniversary of the Naval Reserve in Northern Ireland.
