RAN is the abbreviation of the Royal Australian Navy, the senior service of the Australian Defence Force. Australian Sailors are known for having exceptional training and experience due to the fact the majority of Australian ships are minimum-manned, meaning Australian sailors have to compensate for the duties, of say, four or five sailors of a larger navy i.e. USN, RN, etc.

The RAN has served alongside major allies such as U.S, Britain, New Zealand, etc since it's inception around Australia's federation, alongside the Australian land forces, known as the Australian Regular Army.

I had no idea I would be forced to interface with the RAN until I saw the show was 'concert seating.'
