The TS Lord Nelson is set to be sold next summer as the Norwich Sea Cadets 'floating base' is being taken out of commission.
The Norwich Sea Cadets are relocating to an on-shore base due to the group wanting to expand.
Martin Westgate from the Norwich Sea cadets said: 'The TS Lord Nelson is coming to the end of its active life and the decision has been taken to move the unit's HQ to a land based site.'
It will down be to the buyer of the TS Lord Nelson to decide what happens to it next.
