Warfare Officers Honour RollPrint Page Print this page

The honour roll describes the wartime activities of Warfare Officers by displaying photographs and medals and commemorate the service of Warfare Officers who served in conflicts in which Australia has been involved. 

HMAS Watson, located at Sydney's South Head, was commissioned as the Royal Australian Navy's Radar Training School on 14 March 1945. Today, Watson is the premier RAN maritime warfare training establishment. It is the home of the Training Authority Maritime Warfare and, under recent restructuring, is part of Fleet Command as of July 2009.

Students at Watson range in experience from Commanding Officers who are proceeding back to sea in Command of a major fleet unit through to the junior Combat System Operator Sailors undertaking their first category course after recruit training.

The role of Watson is to prepare Officers and Sailors of the Royal Australian Navy to go to sea and to be a part of the team that contributes to Fleet commitments and outcomes - "to fight and win at sea".
