This week, Prince William began a two-month stint with the British Royal Navy. The course will round out his military training, in addition to his time with the Royal Air Force which ended two months ago.
During his months with the Royal Navy, Sub-Lieutenant Wales, as Prince William will be known, will train on shore at the Britannia Royal Naval College in Dartmouth. Prince William will also train with the Royal Marines and tour the Air Fleet Arm, where he will have a chance to fly the Fleet’s helicopters. He will then serve on the Frigate HMS Iron Duke, which is stationed in the West Indies.
More about his training and photos after the jump…
Among the skills he will learn in these two months are navigation, seamanship, practical boat handling, sea safety, amphibious operations and cold weather and mountain warfare survival techniques. On the Iron Duke, he will gain experience in operations against drug running, and hurricane relief.
The commander of HMS Iron Duke, Commander Mark Newland, spoke about the Prince’s duties while on board: “His activities will be primarily based around watch-keeping (and) ship-driving, as well as contributing to the counter-drugs planning (and) a primary role in our disaster relief planning operations.”
“But also to educate him in the way of the Royal Navy….why we are in a theatre of operations like this and what we can do to help.”
