		HMS Eaglet has been on hand when required for 100 years now, and as the Liverpool Royal Naval Reserve unit starts her second century, that sense of duty is as strong as ever.
		The original Royal Naval Reserve unit on Merseyside, HMS Eagle, was founded in the 1860s, and the sailors were given the Georgian fourth-rate ship of the same name as their base – the ship’s wheel can be found proudly on display in today’s Eaglet.
		And although there has been no Eagle for three decades – and no ship in the RN is likely to bear the name in the foreseeable future – Eaglet is unlikely to lose that ‘t’ she gained nearly 90 years ago.
