Brief History
The Southampton Royal Naval Officers' Association (SRNOA) was formed in 1965. Membership was initially predominantly drawn from HMS Wessex but today we have members from a variety of backgrounds across central southern England.
We welcome officers who are currently serving or who have served in any of the armed forces or the Merchant Marine, and anyone who has a strong interest in the Royal Navy (for details see membership page).
