I would try posting your query in the Armed Forces section here, and also post it in the great war forum site, they are very helpful in answering armed forces queries.

Good luck,

Before the storm-damaged TS Formidable was sold, a shore-based school also called HMS Formidable was built.
This became the National Nautical School at Portishead.

Boys were trained in all the necessary skills to become seamen.

In recent years, the school was sold off, and is now apartments!
Called Fedden Village.
