The Naval Review Centenary Fellowship Sponsored By Ultra Electronics

The Naval Review Centenary Fellowship is a new award for outstanding junior officers of Lieutenant rank or below in the Royal Navy. The Naval Review is partnered by the Royal Navy and the Royal Australian Navy and sponsored by Ultra Electronics. The new award is a secondment to the Royal Australian Navy, in Australia, for a six-week study period and is likely to be highly sought-after in the continuing professional development of Royal Naval officers. The first award will be in 2010.

The aims of The Naval Review Centenary Fellowship are to

• Encourage international understanding early in the career of a high-flying officer
• Maintain good relationships between the Royal Navy and the Royal Australian Navy
• Reward and encourage strategic thinking and persuasive writing in junior officers
