Shore Exhibition
Dive into an experiential exhibition at Central Court, VivoCity! Through the exhibition, visitors can learn more about the importance of the sea to Singapore and how the Singapore Navy protects our maritime nation. Treat yourself to a sensorial maritime experience at the immersive theatre and learn how the Navy conducts multi-dimensional warfare against surface, air and sub-surface threats!
For the first time, visitors can visit a new submarine exhibit to experience how underwater operations are conducted, and also have a hands-on experience at virtual simulators similar to the ones used by the Navy for training.

RSS Endeavour Ship Visit
Step on board our Endurance-class Landing Ship Tank (LST), RSS Endeavour! See first-hand what it takes to operate one of the Navy's largest ships and learn more about the roles and capabilities of the LSTs, as well as the various operations and exercises that they have participated in.
If you think the RSN is all about ships, think again! Catch our S-70B Seahawk Naval Helicopter on the flight deck of the LST and learn how it supports various operations at sea.

During the visit on board RSS Endeavour, visitors are expected to pass through relatively tight spaces and climb a total of 12 flights of stairs, which are steeper and narrower than the stairs that you may be used to. There are approximately 10 steps per flight, amounting to approximately 120 steps!
(While you will not be climbing these stairs all at once, it is still quite a feat!)
