On\u00a01 August, the Italian Navy training ship Caroly will call at Koper (Slovenia), third stopover of the 2018 training campaign for the Class Ateires midshipmen of the Livorno Naval Academy.<\/p>\n
The ship \u2013 which this year celebrates the 70th anniversary of her launching \u2013 is one of the symbols of the Italian Navy, combining Italian excellences and seafaring traditions, while embodying its deep-rooted values and spreading seafaring culture, just like all the other sailing ships of our naval service. In fact, technologies used in navigation techniques evolve over time, yet the officers of the Italian Navy bear everlasting allegiance to core values of ethics, loyalty, discipline and honour.<\/p>\n
The training campaign is indeed aimed at promoting team-building and improving cadets\u2019 capacity of handling situations, both in technical terms (as regards navigation) and in all the Naval Diplomacy activities conducted during port visits, involving host countries and Italian communities abroad.<\/p>\n
The 7 young officers embarked (including 3 women) will take turns at the steering wheel, learn sail handling and use the sextant to work out the ship\u2019s position, training in activities aimed at consolidating the theoretical knowledge and competencies in nautical sciences and seamanship acquired in the third year at the Academy.<\/p>\n
After leaving Koper, the Italian Navy sailing ship will continue to sail in the waters of the Adriatic Sea, heading for the Aegean Sea. Her itinerary will include a number of port calls in Albania, Greece and Turkey. The tour will end on 23 September in Portoferraio.<\/p>\n
