  • The RN now has nine new simulators which accurately recreate both the bridge of present-day warships and the waters and harbours officers of the watch will typically operate in. 5 new simulators have been installed at HMS Collingwood (Fareham) together with facilities at HMNB Clyde (Faslane) and Brittania Royal Naval College (Dartmouth).

    I hope JMSDF will also adopt this equipm.

    If only the Government would invest in actual new Royal Navy warships...

    Forgive me...but the few times I've been on a RN bridge in rough weather I've been thrown around. Those people are just static?!

      it's probably more about getting used to the ship controls and procedures while running through simulated missions then working out your sea legs.

    I want one. They got this in VR?

    Are the RN trying to imply that in the future all naval operations will be carried out in simulation? With a panel judges ‘awarding’ the victory to whoever they deem the winner?

      This is just for training at the moment I think. There isn't an enormous amount of difference between simulation and teleoperation. Victory will always require reducing the other side's ability to fight until they can't or don't want to. Waging war, when it seems less about flags and more about global capitalism's 'interests' with every passing year, might be suffering from diminished desire to expend children? I expect we'll see more 'virtually' crewed ships in future. The ships will have to be real but when one of ours sinks, the kids will be home early for tea.

      No? It’s for training

    They are not using British made blending from GBVI, so the SIMS are not as good as they could be.

    If only the Russians were simulating attacking the Ukraine, HMS Duncan simulated sailing with anti-ship missiles, maybe the Government could simulate having a Royal Navy, think of the savings MoD. ex Royal Navy myself, Falklands, Gulf, and Armilla Patrol.

      Hopefully up to date land based simulators make training personel for the ships easier and cheaper in the long run so they can more effectively train up more crews for the ships allowing for an increase in Hull numbers....... then again an elections coming up we'll need to wait until after to see if the military doesn't get cut by the next administration while they don't have to worry about winning a looming popularity contest.

    de facto admitting they dont have enough have enough ships to teach large ship handling skills any more. Sad really.

      British Airways use flight simulators, does that mean they don't have enough planes?

      No it’s not, you really think it’s more convenient and easy to send someone on a ship then it is to walk to the other side of camp to a simulator

      No simulator can really replicate the Bridge of a warship with all the internal and external inputs as well as replicate the inertia and motion of a large warship.
      Ask yourself, did any Naval Officer beed to use one to learn basic ship operations prior to the present day ?
      Im not against it, but it is a reflection of the sorry state of the RN, when bridge crews need to be trained in a simulator because they cant access a real ship and put in the hours on the basics at sea.
