This two-day event, running until 19 Nov, is open to the public from 9 am to 9 pm at VivoCity.
Navy@Vivo 2023 (NV23) is an immersive shore exhibition highlighting the critical role of the Singapore Navy in our maritime nation.
It offers various activities, exhibitions, and live performances that provide an in-depth look into the Navy’s motto of “going beyond horizons.”
Here’s a glimpse into what NV23 has in store:
Shore Exhibition
Venue: Central Court, VivoCity, L1
Beyond defending our country against maritime threats, the Navy engages in multifaceted warfare against surface, air, and sub-surface dangers.
The Immersive Theatre offers a sensory exhibition to learn about these operations and the Navy’s role in protecting our island nation.
First-time visitors can delve into the Submarine Interactive Experience, with virtual simulators similar to those used in Navy training.
The Ship Training Simulator, near the photo wall and Way of Life Gallery, offers a hands-on ship training experience.
Families can engage their children at the coloring and knot-tying stations, while exploring the NDU Weapons Showcase nearby.
Considering a career in the Navy? The Career Lounge next to the Immersive Theatre provides comprehensive career information.
During the Defence Immersion Programme (DIP) from 13-14 Nov, 22 women from diverse backgrounds experienced naval life. The youngest participant was only 15, and the oldest, Hui Ling, was 53.
Outstanding female leaders, including Navy ME2 Military Expert Cai Jiazhi, 30, facilitated the program. Joining the Navy in 2015, Cai now works as a command control system operator.
In an interview with Shin Min Daily News, she emphasized the Navy’s stability and unique experiences, stating, “anyone who wants to join in protecting Singapore can step forward.”
