The Royal Naval Amateur Radio Society (RNARS) is a specialised group or club for Amateur Radio operators who have a link with maritime employment, such as members of a navy, merchant marine, or similar employment. As such, RNARS has become a de facto international group for such people.
RNARS is well known for fostering radio stations in museum ships. The best known to people in England is HMS Belfast (C35).
RNARS is open to membership by people from 'allied' nations. For instance, there are members in countries such as America and Holland, and a semi-autonomous national group in Australia that has stations in three museum ships: HMAS Vampire, HMAS Diamantina, and HMAS Castlemaine.
