The
Warrant Officer of the Navy’s first reaction was, “I thought
I would test the water…test passed”.
WO David Turner, member of the Board of the Royal Australian
Navy Central Canteens Funds (RANCCF) said this about going live
on the online facility of CCFShop.
He was particularly impressed that this was the first shop owned
and operated by the RANCCF for and on behalf of the sailors
of the Navy.
“This initiative not only provides a wide range of discounted
products to our sailors but will greatly assist in the future
distribution of sports funding, grants, loans and other welfare
activities,” WO Turner said.
The RANCCF has provided funding to Navy sport in the order of
$180,000 and a further $160,000 to the RAN Relief Trust Fund
in the last financial year.
The Fund is aiming to use all revenue that it may earn from
this initiative to further increase the benefits to sailors.
CDRE Simon Hart, Commanding Officer of the Surface Combatant
Group and chairman of the RAN Central Canteens Board, was particularly
pleased with the quick, reliant service and that everybody in
the RAN could enjoy the benefits of discounted products online
without losing the quality on any of the product lines.
Commander Ric Leahy, Fleet Supply Officer told Navy News that
the benefit of a one-stop shop for all ships’ crests, logos
and mementos, where sailors support themselves by buying through
their own shop is a just reason to support CCFShop online.
WO-N was keen to show his support for the online shop, and is

available.
