On the 7th of Marh Exercise TRITON STORM 2/11 (TS 2/11) kicked off with a very busy day for the Guided Missile Frigate HMAS Toowoomba (Commander Andrew Quinn, RAN). There were a number of real life exercises including Anti Air Warfare, Boarding Exercises, Flying Operations and even a man overboard drill.
The purpose of Triton Storm is to ensure Navy personnel are appropriately trained and equipped for the year ahead. It also enables new personnel to be integrated into the ship’s company and apply their skills in practical situations.
TS 2/11 is a Navy led, joint combined training activity between The Royal Australian Navy, The Royal Australian Air Force, The Royal New Zealand Navy and The Royal New Zealand Air Force.
This exercise is being conducted off the coast of Perth as part of the RAN’s ongoing training program aimed at enhancing it’s capability to protect Australia and it’s interests.
