On Remembrance Sunday, Captain Ellie Ablett, the Commanding Officer of HMS Raleigh, will attend the civic Service of Remembrance in Torpoint and lay a wreath on behalf of the Royal Navy.
A platoon of recruits undergoing their specialist training at HMS Raleigh will march alongside the veterans for the parade.
Around 140 trainee sailors from HMS Raleigh will attend a Service at Horson cemetery in Torpoint at the war graves.
The cemetery is the final resting place for 74 Service personnel; 48 sailors, 25 soldiers and 1 airman.
Of those, 44 sailors and 21 Royal Engineers lost their lives when a German bomb hit an air-raid shelter within HMS Raleigh on April 28, 1941, during the Plymouth Blitz.
Wreaths will be laid and crosses of remembrance will be placed on each grave by trainee sailors.
