Explore the world at Action Stations
A
CTION Stations is saying: "Welcome to the World Wide
Web!"
The Millennium attraction at Portsmouth historic dockyard goes on-line this month with the opening of the ultramodern .Navy News Cyber Deck by the Second Sea Lord, Vice Admiral Sir Peter Spencer. This state-of-the-art educational facility is available at no extra cost to visitors to the Portsmouth entertainment which opened its doors last year. It allows full exploration of Navy News' own award-winning website, that changes daily, with updated news and features on the modern Royal Navy and a unique perspective on the fascinating history of the Senior Service. Action Stations describes itself
as truly delighted with the generous funding that it has received from the Navy News. Barbara Barnes, Action Stations General Manager, says: "The Cyber Deck brings an added dimension to the attraction and places it firmly at the cutting edge of new developments in the leisure industry. "Cyber cafes have already proven their enormous popularity in the big cities and there are a couple here in Portsmouth, but I believe we are the first visitor attraction to offer this service." She added: "It's been great fun working with Navy News on such an unusual project." Beyond the fascinating on-line world of Navy News, the sophisticated space-age terminals will allow access to the wide expanse of the Internet with links to the Royal Navy's own website and other defence sites.
Visitors can surf the net or email friends and relations across the world. Action Stations is one of the Millennium Commission's 12
Landmark projects, and was launched last year by the Duke of York. • Visit the Navy News website at: www.navynews.co.uk.
