I would jump at the opportunity for technical training at Sultan. Anyone whom has ever been inside a modern warship will know just how mechanically and electrically complex they are, and any training in this area provided at sultan would be much better than any local technical college. Ships have some enormous diesel engines and gearboxes etc and the very latest are going to be diesel electric just like loco's so there would likely be more in common than you think and training in this area should be high class. And (whisper whisper) the RN still powers its minesweepers with Deltic engines so training on those might be available.
Gosport and Portsmouth (5 minute ferry ride) are decent towns if you are young (I went to Uni there) so don't dismiss them completely.
