A Message to Students

HMAS Sydney (II) Education contains five activities, a reading list and further research projects.

Each activity includes a series of self-marking multiple choice questions. Read the information and try your luck with these. Your score in each test will help you advance through the naval ranks from Seaman to Admiral.

Try the Codes and Communication one first. You will find out about the world famous Morse code and learn to read it. You will also learn how to send messages using international signal flags. See if you can advance to Signaller Level 3. Points earned in this activity will help your Naval ranking.
