De facto shore establishments
- Mount Pleasant Airfield in the Falkland Islands which is a tri-service service establishment, albeit with RN personnel making up few of the personnel stationed there on a permanent basis, the majority being Army and RAF.
- Sembawang dockyard in the former HMNB Singapore still has RN personnel based in a building which is in what is now a civilian dockyard - however, there is an RN onshore presence by virtue of a hangover from when British Forces withdrew from Singapore and east of Suez in general, the fuelling arrangements for warships that dock in Singapore in the Sembawang dockyard are all fuelled by the RN - all Five Powers Defence Arrangements and US Navy ships use this dockyard in Singapore, although the Republic of Singapore Navy does not.
