THE SSNVR’S HISTORIC ROLE IN SINGAPORE’S NAVAL STORY

by Singapore Navy Museum

 

Did you know that the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) has its origins in the Straits Settlements Naval Volunteer Reserve (SSNVR)? Hear about the SSNVR's formation and its base right at the very spot that the RSN’s Ensign was hoisted for the first time, and also its role and its resources during the Second World War. The story of the RSN and how it has grown into the vital force that it now is, will also be shared through a visit to the Singapore Navy Museum.

 

Dress Code: Nil, please dress comfortably with walking shoes.
