School ship
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Training ship)
A school ship is a ship used for the training of students as sailors. The term is especially used of ships employed by navies to train future officers. Essentially there are two types, old hulks used to house classrooms, and those used for training at sea.
The hands on aspect provided by sail training has also been used as a platform for everything from semesters at sea for undergraduate oceanography and biology students, marine science and physical science for high school students and character building and discipling for at risk youths.
