Bases and Stations
Maritime Warfare Centre
The Maritime Warfare Centre is an alliance of Servicemen, scientists, and analysts, whose sole driving purpose is to create battle-winning tactics for the Royal Navy. The unit is made up of some 120 people, split roughly equally between civilian and military, although at any given time a hefty chunk of these people will be out at sea, on board ships, running trials and experiments; and most importantly asking questions.

Role of the Maritime Warfare Centre
The analysis work of the men and women, both civilian and military, of the MWC is being fed on a daily basis into the operational decisions being made by Fleet staff at Navy Command HQ.
The MWC’s work is at the heart of generating a Royal Navy that can fight and win.
