British Submarine Command Course

The British Submarine Command Course, known as "Perisher," is a rigorous training program for experienced naval officers aiming to become qualified submarine commanders. It involves advanced classroom instruction, simulated and real-world navigation and combat exercises, and leadership development. The course tests officers' technical knowledge, decision-making skills, teamwork, and ability to operate submarines safely and effectively under pressure. Successfully completing Perisher is essential for officers to assume command of a submarine in the Royal Navy, making it one of the most challenging and prestigious training programs in submarine warfare.
