The Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) is back at VivoCity again. The Endurance-class Landing Ship Tank, RSS Endurance, embarked with a Super Puma helicopter, is docked at VivoCity Promenade from 14 to 17 November 2013. The event, Navy@Vivo, was launched by the Chief of Navy Rear-Admiral Ng Chee Peng this morning. The public will have a chance to visit RSS Endurance, which has been deployed for various Singapore Armed Forces overseas deployments, such as the counter-piracy operations in the Gulf of Aden in 2010, and humanitarian assistance and disaster relief mission for the 2004 Tsunami in Indonesia. Some visitors will also get the opportunity to ride onboard the RSN's Fast Craft Utility.

Commanding Officer of RSS Endurance, Lieutenant Colonel (LTC) Jason Yee hoped that this event would allow members of the public to get to know the RSN better. "My crew and I are looking forward to welcoming visitors to our ship and share with them our experiences during operations and exercises, both in Singapore and overseas," said LTC Yee.

Apart from the exhibitions and video screenings of the various missions and operations that the ship has undertaken, the public will also be able to witness the conduct of a ceremonial sunset - a long-standing naval tradition - at 6.45pm daily during Navy@Vivo. In addition, an exhibition within VivoCity illustrates how the RSN successfully conducts its missions in defence of Singapore. The public will also have the opportunity to take photographs with members of the Naval Diving Unit.

All of the ship tickets that were opened for online balloting from 30 October 2013 had been snapped up by the public. However, limited tickets are still available through lucky draws at the exhibition in VivoCity. More information can be found on the Singapore Navy Facebook page (www.facebook.com/singaporenavy).
