Training ship? Who the fuck is training on a ship like that.
I’m genuinely curious what modern day sailors have to learn aboard a ship like this that applies to the actual work they would be doing in a real world scenario, likely not aboard one of these ships.
They are getting trained to listen to and understand the see, winds, and weather conditions, because on a tall ship you have to do that to a degree incomparable to modern, engine powered ships.
thanks for the answer!
US coast guard still trains officers on a tall ship, the USCGC Eagle
What are they training for? A pirate raid? Swashbuckling with Blackbeard?

I definitely know of Germany since a female trainee got sexual attacked by other trainees on it.
That was not part of the regular training.
Statistically?
It kind of was. Even in 2021, about 8% of female service members reported being assaulted that year.
