The second batch christened “Vicomte du Cap Froid” comprised of 192 cadet Officers that is 185 Brazilians and 7 from the Navy of Friendly Countries.

Once again Cameroon marked its participation with the representation of two young officers specialized on one hand in mechanics and propulsion and on the other hand in electronics. They successfully completed 5 years of Navy officer training course and graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Naval Sciences and an Officer Training Certificate.

The event, which reflects the official entry of our young compatriots into the Cameroonian Officer Corps, was marked by the presence of the Brazilian Minister of Defence and the different Chiefs of Staff.
