Sinking Ship Simulator: The Royal Navy's Damage Repair Instructional Unit
- with many, many thanks to the Royal Navy and everyone at HMS Excellent!

At HMS Excellent in Portsmouth sits Hazard, a Royal Navy Damage Repair Instructional Unit (DRIU). Every Navy recruit who's going out to sea will have to go through something like this -- and on a much harder level than we did! But then, they'll have had months of training and teamwork beforehand...
