Since the last edition in 2023, Navy@Vivo25 (NV25) returns to VivoCity with crowd favourites such as a ship visit on board one of our Singapore Navy's largest ships - RSS Resolution, together with an interactive shore exhibition within VivoCity's premises and various performances at the VivoCity Amphitheatre. The tagline for NV25 'Who's Gonna Safeguard Our Lifelines' aims to highlight the importance of the sea to Singapore and the role that our Navy plays as the Maritime Force for our Maritime Nation.
