Upcoming commanders train themselves in the coaching maneuver

19/09/14

Very intense days for the 13 265-goers, the command of the school command, to the test with the side-by-side and night-side maneuvering on board of the Chimera, Sfinge and Fenice ships.

The maneuver consists of maintaining a ship, with a constant course and speed, while two others flank it on both sides, staying at a distance of about 35 meters.

After passing connecting lines it is possible to pass small loads while the ships continue to sail parallel.

The tactical employment training is well under way, in the coming days the future commanders will be challenged with new, more complex maneuvers.
