HMS Aggressive was a shore establishment of the British Royal Navy during World War II, based at Newhaven, East Sussex.
Service history
Founded in November 1941 as a base for Coastal Forces, it was first named Forward II, but was renamed Aggressive on 4 November 1942. Based at the London & Paris Hotel and at the East Quay, it was decommissioned on 16 April 1945.[1]
From September 1942[2] Aggressive was the base for the 1st Steam Gun Boat Flotilla, vessels powered by steam turbines, under the command of Peter Scott.[3]
A plaque commemorating the men who served at Aggressive was unveiled on 28 November 2009 at Newhaven Fort.[4]
