ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Joint Maritime Training Center

Okay, so imagine you have two friends who really like going on fun adventures together. But before they go on those adventures, they need to practice some skills to make sure they can work well as a team and stay safe while having fun.

A joint maritime training center is kind of like that - it's a place where different groups of people who work on boats or ships, like sailors or coast guard officers, can practice working together and make sure they know how to do everything safely.

The center has special equipment and facilities that help people learn things like how to navigate a ship or how to put out a fire on a boat. This way, when they're out on the water for real, they know what to do and can stay safe.
