Republic of Singapore Navy Museum
|
The
museum showcases the history, tradition, customs and
development of the Republic of Singapore Navy, from its
beginnings as the Straits Settlement Royal Navy Volunteer
Reserves in 1934 to the present day. Some of the
highlights include tracing the increased sophistication of
shipboarding and combat systems used by the Navy since its
inception.
|
|
Opened
in 1987, the museum is housed in a pre-World War II
building that was used as quarters and barracks by the
Royal Navy, when their ships were in Singapore. To enhance
the visitor's experience, the building was renovated to
resemble the interior of a ship, incorporating narrow
walkways and passages, with portholes along the walls.
