H.M.S. Osprey was a Royal Navy anti-submarine training base established in Portland in 1924. It was named for a small armed trawler of 336 tons which served as the flagship of the First Anti-Submarine Flotilla. It moved ashore in 1927.

History

In March 1925, the school's Commander Crace was supported by Lieutenant P. R. Tanner. Also present were Lieutenant-Commander (A/S) P. F. Cooper, Lieutenants (A/S) N. J. W. William-Powlett, F. J. Walker, N. A. Prichard, J. A. Binnie and G. D. S. Johnson and Lieutenants R.A.N. (A/S) J. C. D. Esdaile and H. G. K. Melville.

Captains of Anti-Submarine School

The institution soon calved off command of the Anti-Submarine school to a junior man, and the senior officer became "Captain A/S, Portland". The posts were seemingly re-united in 1940.
