The Girls' Naval Training Corps numbered 50 Units in 1952, and in the late 1950s changed their name to the Girls' Nautical Training Corps. Lady Pamela Mountbatten was Corps Commandant of the GNTC from around 1952 to around 1959.[3][4][5][6]
The GNTC became a colleague organisation with the Sea Cadet Corps in 1963,[7] often sharing facilities such as Raven's Ait (then also known as TS Neptune). The GNTC became a full member of the Sea Cadet Organisation in March 1980, when the Ministry of Defence approved the admission of girls into the Sea Cadets,[2] this led to a name change to Girls Nautical Training Contingent. This continued until 1992[1] when the organisation was absorbed, and all girls became members of the Sea Cadet Corps.[8]
