The Royal Navy has no plans to recruit from non-UK armed forces.

We work closely with many nations and provide opportunities for their personnel to serve with the Royal Navy through a range of schemes, such as loans, exchanges and liaison postings. There are no set targets, and these are conducted on a case by case basis.
