The ships company i.e. officers and men assist the Captain to keep the ship afloat, mobile and ensure that the ship is fighting fit against multi-directional threat, be it surface ships, aircraft, missile and even sub-surface threats like submarines and under water mines. This necessitates a highly trained and skilled ships
