These Barracks were used as a 6 weeks initial training facility and was situated next to the Duchess of Kent Barracks, which housed the WREN complement of Portsmouth.
Seamen spent 2 weeks there and then went to sea on either of the Carriers THESEUS and OCEAN. Other branches went to their own specialist establishments after the 6 weeks.
