The Royal Navy has unveiled its new state-of-the-art warfare training facility. Representing the most radical change to its training for over 40 years, the Maritime Composite Training System (MCTS) provides shore-based training for Warfare teams. It allows crews to prepare for service on the latest Type 45 Destroyers, as well as Type 23 frigates, Type 42 Destroyers, Assault ships and Carriers. Based across two sites at Fareham and Plymouth, the MCTS features banks of flat panel LCD screens which replicate equipment used at sea. The system will be used by around 1000 new trainees a year and will allow existing personnel to maintain their warfare skills.
