Some words of history about the Centre d'Instruction Naval:
These splendid buildings were built to accommodate the students of the Naval Academy: a graduate engineering school set up to train French naval officers. From 1929, the beginning of its construction, until 1945, it had a chequered history, marked by the second world war.
The air raids caused such damage to the college that, in 1945, new students were temporarily accommodated at Lanvéoc-Poulmic, on the other side of the bay of Brest, in the buildings of a Fleet Air Arm base.
Finally, the Naval Academy was established at Lanvéoc-Poulmic definitively and new buildings were gradually built. Its transfer was made official with the inauguration of the new college in 1965 by General de Gaulle.
Nowadays, the CIN in Brest has 70,000 m2 of buildings on its 22-hectare site and it provides 4 types of training:
- The Petty Officer Training Center (800 Petty Officers).
- The Seamen's Training Center (1000 Apprentice Seamen),
- The Lycée Naval, a secondary school that includes classes to prepare students for military graduate engineering schools (340 pupils)
- A linguistic resource center for military seamen
