New submarine training centre opens in Singapore

A new submarine training centre opened at Changi Naval Base in Singapore on 11 March, marking a major milestone for the Republic of Singapore Navy's (RSN's) local submarine training.

The training centre is a complete training facility that meets all the operational training and qualification requirements for the submariners. It has simulators for team training as well as individual training in realistic virtual scenarios.

The centre has been named the RSS Challenger, after an RSN Challenger-class submarine that retired from service on the same day as the launch of the training centre.

Another RSN Challenger-class submarine, the RSS Centurion, also retired from the RSN's fleet on 11 March. Both submarines served the country's navy from 1997.
