16. (a.) Examinations in seamanship and study will be held at the end of each term.
    (b.) Cadets who fail at the end of their second term to obtain 40 per cent. of marks in mathematical subjects will be ordered to be withdrawn.
    (c.) Cadets who fail at the final examination to obtain 40 per cent. in the mathematical subjects, including the theory of navigation and nautical astronomy, and 40 per cent. in the technical subjects, combined with physics and French, will be ordered to be withdrawn.
    (d.) Cadets reported to the Admiralty for unsatisfactory conduct, or who fail to obtain half marks in seamanship, will be “warned,” and should they again be reported, or again fail to pass in seamanship, they will be discharged. Any cadet however who is reported for unsatisfactory conduct during his final term will be discharged without being allowed to present himself at the examination for passing out of the “Britannia.”
    (e.) Any cadet who shall at any time appear to their Lordships to be unfit for the naval service, for any reason whatever, will be removed from the “Britannia”; and it must be understood that this rule will apply to those who are considered unfit from insufficient physical development or weakness of constitution, although no actual organic disease may have been developed.
17. It is to be distinctly understood that the period of training on board the “Britannia” is a time of probation, and the parent or guardian of every cadet will be required to sign a declaration (on the admission of the cadet to the “Britannia”) to the effect that he shall be immediately withdrawn on the receipt of an official intimation of his being considered unfit for the navy.
18. Cadets will, on passing out of the “Britannia,” rank according to the amount of sea-time they obtain at their final examination, and those who obtain equal amounts of sea-time will rank in the order of merit in which they pass out of the “Britannia.”
19. The parent or guardian of every cadet will be required to provide outfit under the regulations in force.
20. No pay will be allowed by Government to cadets in the “Britannia.” The pocket-money allowed to cadets will be charged to the parents.
21. As only cadets who are able to swim are permitted to use the boats belonging to H.M.S. “Britannia,” the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty desire to impress upon parents and guardians the importance of cadets being taught to swim before they join the training-ship, so as to enable them to obtain the full benefits of use of the boats.

By command of their Lordships.
