The Grand Alliance Naval College is the Navy Shore Establishment tasked with the training of future officers and specialists within the Navy. It is commonly referred to as the GANC, and is regarded as a every high quality education center.

History
Originally the Stormwind Naval College, following the reconstruction of Stormwind at the end of the Second War, the Alliance of Lordaeron initiated plans to renovate the old grounds into a wider and more capable college for the vast majority of the Lordaeron Alliance Navy.

The first ship to be used for training was HMS Fearless, but the ship was destroyed during the Fall of Stormwind. When the College was reconstructed, a new ship was awarded, named in honour of Lord Admiral Dailen Proudmoore for his excellence in maritime warfare in spite of personal loss.

The Navy was dedicated and established seven years after the revitalization of Stormwind and included massive changes, including two additional parade grounds, with the previous single parade grounds being redone and several extra wings to the already existing, but tarnished building.

When the Alliance of Lordaeron crumbled, the College was briefly renamed to the Stormwind Royal Navy College, before finally changing to it's current name, the Grand Alliance Naval College once the Grand Alliance was formed.
