Captain’s BZ: summer 2022

Captain Sea Cadets celebrates some of the achievements of cadets and units around the UK

BZ is a naval term that means ‘well done’. It comes from the Bravo and Zulu nautical signal flags being flown together.

Honouring The Queen

Cadet 1st Class Samarah, from City of London Sea Cadets, read at The Queen’s Jubilee Service of Thanksgiving. She started as a junior and has been with Sea Cadets for four years. BZ Samarah!
