History - The Southampton Royal Naval Officers Association (SRNOA) was formed in 1965 on the disbandment of the Royal Naval Supplementary Volunteer Reserve by its last remaining five officers.  Meetings were held in HMS Wessex.  The SRNOA has maintained a close affinity with serving and retired RNR officers from HMS Wessex.

Since its formation the Association has expanded and now welcomes personnel who are currently serving or who have served in any of the armed forces, the Merchant Marine, or who have an ongoing interest in the Royal Navy. (for details see membership page)
