Yokohama Sea Cadet Corps
F3. Seafaring Life, Education, Professions and InstitutionsDefinition
Japanese youth maritime program.
A Japanese youth maritime training unit at Yokohama within the sea cadet movement, giving young people instruction in seamanship, boat handling, knots, signaling, and naval discipline as a route toward later maritime careers. National sea cadet corps operate worldwide on a common model; the Yokohama unit follows the Japanese sea-cadet tradition and feeds later maritime careers rather than awarding STCW qualifications.
