Sea-Air-Space is the largest maritime exposition in the U.S. and is an invaluable extension of the Navy League’s mission of maritime policy education and sea service support.
“Cubic is committed to advancing the training needs of our U.S. Navy by providing game-based courseware for both variants of the Littoral Combat Ship and the Mission Bay Trainer.
