Description: 070618-N-3935S-006 GREAT LAKES, Ill. (June 18, 2007) - Sailors man the rails of USS Trayer (BST 21), the Navy's newest simulator, during a commissioning ceremony at Recruit Training Command. Trayer, along with Battle Stations 21, is the culmination of all training received at the Navy's only boot camp. The simulator is a grueling 12-hour test of a recruit's skills in several shipboard evolutions, including fighting fires and stopping floods. The final evolution, now held entirely in the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer simulator, marks a recruit's final rite of passage into the Navy.
