HMS Excellent (shore establishment)
HMS ''Excellent'' is a Royal Navy "stone frigate" (shore establishment) sited on Whale Island near Portsmouth in Hampshire. HMS ''Excellent'' is itself part of the Maritime Warfare School, with a Headquarters at HMS ''Collingwood'', although a number of lodger units are resident within the site, the principal of which is the Headquarters of Commander in Chief Fleet (Navy Command Headquarters).
==History==
In the early 19th century the decision was made to establish a school of gunnery.〔Lloyd, p. 194-195〕 Accordingly the third-rate HMS ''Excellent'' was converted into a training ship and moved to Whale Island in 1830.〔Lavery, Ships of the Line vol.1, p. 180〕 She was replaced by the second rate HMS ''Boyne'' which was renamed ''Excellent'' in 1834 and by the first-rate ''Queen Charlotte'', which was renamed ''Excellent'' in December 1859 as each in turn took over the role of gunnery training ship permanently moored at Whale Island.〔Lavery, Ships of the Line vol.1, p. 187〕 Trainees would fire the ship's guns down a range on Whale Island.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History )〕
The whole operation moved ashore in 1891 and ultimately closed as a gunnery school in 1985.〔 The establishment was recommissioned in 1994 following the closure of the old HMS ''Phoenix'', school of Fire Fighting and Damage Control, in nearby Tipner and Horsea Island.〔 The Portsmouth Field Gun Crew, competing in the Royal Navy field gun competition at the Royal Tournament, also used to be based at the site.〔
