Customs and traditions play an important role in sea power. They shape the values, beliefs and practices of navies and their personnel. At the heart of naval culture is a shared commitment to the profession of naval warfare, a deep respect for maritime heritage and history, and a sense of duty to serve and protect the nation and its interests.
Naval customs and traditions play an important role in building cohesion and morale within the navy. By fostering a sense of shared identity and purpose, naval culture and tradition can help to build trust and camaraderie among personnel, and create a strong esprit de corps that is critical to mission success.
