Current Royal Navy shore establishments

"De facto" shore establishments
*Mount Pleasant Airfield in the Falkland Islands which is a tri-service service establishment, albeit with RN personnel making up few of the personnel stationed there on a permanent basis, the majority being Army and RAF.
*Sembawang dockyard in the former HMNB Singapore (HMS "Terror") still has RN personnel based in a building in what is now a civilian dockyard. This RN presence was retained when British Forces withdrew from Singapore, and US Navy and Five Powers Defence Arrangements ships that use this dockyard (except for those of the Republic of Singapore Navy itself) are all fuelled by the UK Ministry of Defence.
