NAVAL DEFENCE
The Royal Australian Navy provides safe seaworthy, airworthy and battleworthy ships, submarines, aircraft and specialist teams that contribute to the Australian Defence Force’s capacity to defend Australia, contribute to regional security, support global interests, shape the strategic environment and protect national interests. A strong Navy underwrites a strong maritime trading economy.
Navy contributes to maintaining sovereignty, economic prosperity and security in Australia’s region, by providing maritime patrol and response, interdiction and strategic strike, protection of shipping and off-shore territories and resources, maritime intelligence collection and evaluation, and escort duties. Peacetime activities include surveillance and response in Australia's offshore maritime zones, hydrographic, oceanographic and meteorological support operations, humanitarian and disaster relief, and maritime search and rescue for 1/10th of the earth’s oceans.
Navy maintains important co-dependent partnerships with Australian merchant marine training, shipping, ports, pilotage, maintenance and shipbuilding sectors, and Nautical Institute branches across Australia play a key role in facilitating best practice and lessons, policy, safety, regulatory, technology and security across Australia's maritime industry.
