On 2 April 1982 South Africa issued four stamps and one Miniature Sheet to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Simonstown Naval Dockyard under the control of South Africa. The stamps depict four types of vessel at that time in service in the South African Navy.
The Dockyard located near Cape Point was under control of the Royal Navy from 1910 until turned over to South Africa on 2 April 1957.
