What must occur after a ship completes its training in the Phased Approach?

After a ship completes its training in the Phased Approach, the critical step is to certify in assigned mission areas upon completion of training. This certification process ensures that the ship and its crew are proficient and capable of executing their designated tasks and responsibilities effectively. It validates that they have absorbed the training content, can apply the skills learned, and are ready to perform in real-world operational environments.

This certification serves as a formal recognition that the unit meets the necessary standards and is prepared to undertake its missions. It is a crucial step in the overall training process, ensuring readiness and operational capability directly following training completion. Without this certification, the validation of training effectiveness and the assurance of operational readiness could be compromised.
