"To be eligible to be processed, at the time of application, a candidate must be a British citizen, or a citizen of a Commonwealth country, or a citizen of the Irish Republic. Also certain career paths are only available to British citizens. Asylum seekers are not eligible for entry into the Naval Service."

In other words, you're both sort of wrong, though he's more wrong than you are. Citizens of the UK, Ireland and any Commonwealth country may apply - this ranges from Australia to Zimbabwe.

They can as an American liaison. When I was in Kuwait, we had the HMA (Her Majesty's Army) who worked with us in our office as British liasions.

Edit - Evidently the person who gave me the thumbs down has no clue to what "liasion" means. Do you think that the Coalition Forces in Iraq don't work side by side with the Americans? Clueless.

Maybe if the "Yank " is living in the UK.
There are precedents for it.
There were American Airmen who served w/ the RAF & RCAF before the US entered WWll but that was a little sneaky.
Norad has joint Canadian / US command.
There are liaison officers that are attached to US & British services to learn from as well as instruct their opposites.
In the US ,resident aliens can enlist in the armed forces.
To be dead sure contact a Royal Navy recruiter,

Yes they can. American citizens served onboard HMS Victory at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805.

Below is the name of an American sailor who served with Lord Nelson onboard HMS Victory at the Battle of Trafalgar.

Harvey William 29 American AB (Able Seaman)

HMS Victory

In all, some 22 Americans (Hearts of Oak) served onboard HMS Victory with Lord Nelson at the Battle of Trafalgar 1805.

So, if American could serve in the Royal Navy then, I cannot see any reason what-so-ever why they cannot serve today.

Remember, it was men of the Eagle Squadron Royal Air Force, who in 1940 helped to win the Battle of Britain.

HMS Victory fires her guns - full broadside - on the 200th anniversary (2005) of the Battle of Trafalgar.

When Winston Churchill became first sealord at the Admiralty the message went out to the Fleet - "Winston's Back".

God Save the Queen.
