A summary of the current 
marine resources available to 
Singapore. To its credit, the 
Republic of Singapore Navy 
has a fine tradition of 
deploying resources for 
humanitarian purposes as in 
the aftermath of the 
Indonesian Ocean 
earthquake and tsunami 
several years ago. Currently, 
the Republic of Singapore 
Navy, because it is a 
blue-water and blue chip 
organization, also 
contributes men and ships to 
the international anti-piracy 
effort off eastern Africa.  
For sailors everywhere, the 
sea is enemy enough.
