Consoles will be issued to sailors three months or so before they begin studying at HMS Collingwood, enabling them to prepare subjects in advance, particularly maths, which is crucial.

The consoles are preloaded with study packages, comprising slides and commentary prepared by instructors, compacted into “bursts” of between eight and twelve minutes each.

Another reason for choosing the PSP over other consoles was it was deemed the most “Jack-proof” — sailors have a reputation for breaking equipment. A Sony representative visiting HMS Collingwood hurled one against a wall to prove its durability.

I am tempted to try that.

Heh, kinda makes sense, after all it uses an encrypted radio signal... And it's a cheap, off the shelf part.

The armed forces will look very silly when Natal is released. Jump - jump - arm wave - kick - flail wildly!
