A Sneak Preview at Navy Open House

What would you do on a bright sunny morning, with beautiful fluffy clouds overhead?


Loved the clouds!

Together with Victor, Clauds, Mus and DK, we went for the sneak at the Navy Open House.



At first, it reminded me very much of the Singapore Airshow, with lots of warships displayed.



But I was wrong, when the action started...

We, bloggers, all ready with our cameras to catch the exciting moments of the Naval Display.

After the Naval Display, we visited a Stealth Frigate, RSS Steadfast.


The deck is the area for helicopters to land.


View from the cabin. Nice!

There are lots of details in the Frigate that intrigued me...







High tech is very much used to support the frigate's lean crew.

Of course, how can we miss the chance to explore the crew's lodgings as well?


The bunk for senior officers. Double beds, a computer and an attached bathroom/ toilet.


Guess where are we? We are at the laundry room.

Next, we had a cruise on a Missile Corvette, RSS Valour. It was travelling really fast, and I loved the wind gushing against me...




The compass used to measure the angle the target is from.





One tip, I've learnt on this trip...

Maps are known as charts in navy.
