I am not advocating adopting RN practices in anything.
I simply put that out there because you don't get too many organizations more naval oriented than the Royal Navy. If it feels that using an "army" leadership training environment because, as they themselves indicate, it is the easiest, fastest and most efficient way of inducing the stress required to develop and evaluate the leadership skills of its personnel, it is probably because it is.
BTW, a personal opinion here, in the Navy we do base defence, harbour defence, boardings, beach landing coordination (on the beach), demolition, aid to civil powers (I did: recalled for the Oka crisis) etc. It seems to me that training that gets our people more confident in the use of weapons in a tactical situation, even if the army way, is not necessarily a bad thing.
