The Royal Navy ship HMS Roebuck will berth at Douglas Bay this lunchtime.
The only remaining coastal survey vessel will remain in Manx waters until Monday morning.
During the visit, two groups of pupils from King Williams College and Queen Elizabeth the second High School will go on-board.
HMS Roebuck was awarded her latest set of Battle Honours in 2003, in recognition of her contribution in Iraq.
