The crest of NB KANELLOPOULOS depicts the insignia of the oldest specialties awarded to technician petty officers of the Navy. Incised in the center of the shield and in a symmetrical radial arrangement are depicted the insignia of the BOATSWAIN  (anchor), the Electricians (lightning bolt), the Engineers (propeller) and the Armament technicians (torpedo).

Thus, in 1948, by decision of the Ministry of the Navy and the Headquarters of Naval Education, the KANELLOPOULOS Training Center was established at the same time as the PALASKAS Training Center and the POROS Training Center, with operating Schools of Navigation/Direction (N/C)-Artillery (P/B) – Radio locators (R/E) and Musicians (MOUS).

At 1999, it was decided to combine the Training Centers which were located at that time at Skaramagkas Area and Salamis Naval Base Area, under a new named as PALASKAS Training Center.
