The simulators installed provide the trainees with the opportunity to operate and react in a virtual, yet fully realistic, environment where mistakes become lessons learnt, without risking damage to equipment and people. They offer an exceptional educational experience, which is not available on-board. They also serve as a tool to initially educate and ultimately test and evaluate the officers’ competence and readiness to undertake higher rank duties and responsibilities.
