This
dramatic image (below) shows two Australian Navy Cadets under
the guidance of a Navy firefighting instructor, attacking flames
in a “burning ship” at the RAN’s school of Ship
Survivability at Jervis Bay.
The training was just part of seamanship instruction provided
to some of the 300 ANC cadets who converged from across NSW and
the ACT for their annual seven- day camp.
Along with 13 cadet officers/supervisors, the cadets, aged from
13 to 18 came from as far afield as Tweed Heads.
They were hosted by ship’s companies ranging from HMAS Manoora,
HMAS Success to HMAS Creswell and HMAS Albatross.
Spectacle Island was a hub for much of the general training with
cadets learning such skills as cooking and powerboat handling.
