Description

The Royal Navy's Submarine Command Course, also known as 'Perisher', is a unique and demanding training program that assesses officers' ability to command submarines in challenging environments. This course has undergone significant evolution over the years, shaped by technological innovations and changing operational requirements. From its early days, when COs learned through experimentation and peer-to-peer knowledge-sharing, to the modern all-nuclear Perisher, the course has consistently pushed students to develop their skills and tactics. The 20th century saw two major periods of transformation: the post-war period, which introduced new submarines and technologies, and the latter half, which emphasized safety and tactical prowess. Today, the Perisher remains a crucial part of the Royal Navy's submarine commanding officer development program, with an ongoing curriculum that adapts to emerging battlespace requirements.
