Welcome to the HMS Collingwood Association website.
According to the Association's constitution the aims and objects of the Association are:

To bring together in mutual friendship all those who served in HMS Collingwood
-
To assist each other when required
-
To keep in contact with each other
-
To maintain links with the Royal Navy and other suitable organisations.
Electrical Branch badges from my days in the branch. See the gallery for more. I started with 'R' & 'L', moved on to 'RE' 'CE' 'OE' before it all disappeared into the weapons branch.
The HMS Collingwood Association is for people from the whole spectrum of its rich history. We have members who were seamen and communicators in the war, greenies and pinkies from the electrical branch golden years of the fifties, sixties and seventies, WRNS, and other members of the ships company. We even have a member who is a rough old salt now but once, many years ago, delivered the newspapers!
We presently have about 400 members and always welcome new people; we are especially keen to recruit people from the eighties and nineties. We offer two excellent reunions a year, a newsletter and now this website. We also offer the chance to meet old friends and, more importantly, make new ones. We all have a common background and talk the same language. So, if you are new to us, go the contacts page and get in touch.
This website is administered by Shipmate Brian Cox. If you would like to contribute to the site please contact Brian on the contacts page.
There are many pictures in the gallery and now there are ten pages. We can have as many pictures as we like so send yours in and we will publish them.
