Members of the public can visit the Singapore navy’s RSS Endurance this week, and some may get to ride onboard the navy’s fast craft utility.

The navy vessel is berthed at VivoCity Promenade for public visits until Sunday (Nov 17).

Visitors can also witness the conduct of a ceremonial sunset — a long-standing naval tradition — at 6.45pm daily.

The Commanding Officer of RSS Endurance, Lieutenant-Colonel Jason Yee, said he hopes members of the public will get to know the Singapore navy better through the event.

“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,” he said.

RSS Endurance has been on various overseas missions, including the counter-piracy operations in the Gulf of Aden in 2010, and the disaster relief mission for the 2004 Tsunami in Indonesia.
