HMS Excellent
There have been a number of (real) ships named HMS Excellent over the years, but since around 1920 the name has been associated with the Royal Naval Gunnery training School at Whale Island in Portsmouth Harbour.
Apart from gunnery training it is responsible for teaching drill (i.e. marching etc.) and has an unrivalled reputation for spit-and-polish .
