Upon the directives of Commander of the Navy, Vice Admiral Piyal De Silva, the Long Specialization Courses of the Executive Branch officers commenced at the Naval and Maritime Academy (NMA), Trincomalee on 30th June 2019.
For not being well equipped with facilities needed for the Long Specialization Courses in the Sri Lanka Navy, the officers had to follow such courses conducted overseas.
Having established amenities for the course at the NMA of late, the formal commencement of the Long Specialization Courses for Communication, Gunnery, Navigation and Anti-Submarine Warfare was marked on 30th June.
