On 1 Sep 2021, the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN)'s Formidable-class frigate RSS Stalwart and Victory-class missile corvette RSS Vigour conducted a passage exercise (PASSEX) with the Royal Australian Navy (RAN)’s Canberra-class landing helicopter dock HMAS Canberra and Anzac-class frigate HMAS Anzac. The exercise was also supported by F-15SG fighters and Chinook helicopter from the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF).
Professional exchanges on unmanned system operations were also held from 30 Aug to 2 Sep 2021, where RSN personnel shared on the operationalisation of unmanned surface vessels for mine countermeasure and maritime security operations. These professional exchanges are part of our long-standing interactions with our RAN counterparts to enhance co-operation and strengthen mutual understanding.
