Jitegemee XXII at the Kenya Navy Dockyard earlier this week.
Exercise Jitegemee is an annual Kenya Navy sea training cruise aimed at training young officers and sailors locally, equipping them with the practical knowledge and skills necessary to undertake tasks in fulfilment of the Kenya Navy mandate.
The objectives of the exercise include acquisition of high standard of practical sea training for Junior Officers Under Training (JOUTS), crew training, testing the ship equipment and diplomatic visits.
The training further reinforces the theoretical training the officers have received at the Kenya Naval Training College (KNTC) setting the foundation of having competent and skilled divisional ships’ officers able to conduct maritime operations effectively.
