The National Museum of the Royal Navy (short NMRN , German  " National Museum of the Royal Navy " ) is the umbrella organization of the British naval museums . It includes eleven locations across the UK .

According to the diverse tasks of the Navy, which operates not only at sea ( English Surface Fleet ) and under water ( English Submarine Service ), different priorities are set. In addition to marines , warships and submarines, this includes the Royal Marines , i.e. the British marine infantry , naval aviation , weapons technology and particularly impressive historical ships . These are located in museum harbors such as the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard . For example, Admiral Nelson's famous HMS  Victory from 1765 can be visited as well as the HMS  Warrior from 1860 and the HMS  Caroline , which took part in the 1916 Battle of the Skagerrak .
