Flag Officer Sea Training (FOST) has been a world centre of excellence in the Royal Navy for Naval basic and advanced operational training for many years. FOST certifies crews and vessels as fit to join the operational fleet after rigorous exercises and readiness inspections. FOST operates a pair of Dauphin helicopters from Plymouth City Airport to allow its instructors to join vessels with minial delay during intense training periods.

As well as training Royal Naval personnel, it has also been an important source of revenue in training foreign naval crews to handle and fight their vessels.

Since May 2007, FOST has also been tasked with the training of members of UK Sea Cadets and Sea Scout youth organisations.
