No 4 Area of the Royal Naval Association encompasses the South West of the United Kingdom from Bristol through Somerset, Dorset, Devon and into Cornwall.

Welcome Shipmates

The Royal Naval Association is a totally inclusive, free to join, rank blind membership organisation primarily for serving and former serving RN personnel and their families, who are proud of their Naval Service.

We exist to help our members through life’s highs and lows via peer support, wellbeing signposting and organised activities and events.

Unity, Loyalty, Patriotism, and Comradeship

The Royal Naval Association provides companionship, comradeship and unity to everyone with a naval story, supporting them through life’s highs and lows.

Through our core values, centred on the Seven Cs of Comradeship:

Community, Connection, Commemoration, Care,
Compassion, Companionship and Celebration

we seek to maintain the naval ethos and enjoy sharing experiences with like-minded people while supporting each other in times of need.

Established in the aftermath of WW2, the mission of the Association is to foster comradeship to our membership through events, communications and wellbeing support, thereby enhancing our Naval Family.
