Cramped, narrow and dark - these are the conditions in which Navy submariners live every day.

At the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) Open House this weekend, the public will be able to get a feel of life on a generic submarine. For the first time, a replica of the interior of a submarine - complete with periscope and sleeping quarters - will be on display.

It will be housed within the Experience Zone, which also serves as a hub for a whole range of naval activities that will allow the public to put themselves in the shoes of sailors.

Visitors can experience the life of navy medical personnel at a mock ship operating theatre - stitching wounds and performing emergency rescue procedures.

Among the attractions are a dynamic display by members of the Special Operation Task Force on preparing to board a ship in distress and the chance to fire paintballs using real weapons.

WHERE: Changi Naval Base

WHEN: Saturday and Sunday, from 9am to 7pm

HOW: Entry will be strictly through free shuttle buses departing from Singapore Expo Hall 3, from 8am to 4.30pm on Saturday, and 8.30am to 4.30pm on Sunday.

DYNAMIC DISPLAY: The display, which showcases the RSN's capabilities, will be held twice daily, starting at 9.30am and 2.30pm on Saturday, and 10.30am and 2.30pm on Sunday.
