This looks incredibly promising — especially for anyone teaching or learning bridge fundamentals. I’m involved in Australian Navy Cadets, where we run a Bridge Operations elective covering similar skills: COLREGs, radar interpretation, and conning orders. Although the system appears built around US Navy conventions, the core watchstanding and Rules-of-the-Road training outcomes are almost identical to ours in the Royal Australian Navy framework. It looks like it could serve as an excellent supplementary tool for cadets and junior mariners to practise situational awareness and decision-making between formal simulator sessions. I’d be very interested to see whether future updates might include an international or configurable terminology mode — for example, RAN-style bridge commands, different chart symbology, or IALA-A buoyage. That would make this an invaluable educational resource across Commonwealth navies.

Love it, especially since an active duty Naval officer is involved. Semper Fi from an old grunt.
