Naval Service Reserve

The Naval Service Reserve (NSR) trains men and women to supplement and aid the Naval Service. Naval reservists carry out paid annual training on board Naval Service ships, which are on operational patrols in Irish territorial water or are tasked with foreign visits.

Naval Service Reservists traveled on Naval Service Ships from New York to St. Petersburg and several ports in between. Naval Service Reservists are trained in many aspects of nautical and military training.
