Actually I did learn things during this course - for instance that there are over 700 ships going round the Island of Singapore every day - making the Singapore waters some of the busiest in the world.

and I read this morning in the Singapore Straits that the Navy officers of the ship involved in a recent crash had been found guilty by a civil court. Probably a premiere in the history of the Singapore Navy.

Life isn't that bad. And the price of the course is now a sunk cost...Terrible notion this...
