Qua patet orbis (Latin: as far as the world extends) is the motto of the Dutch Corps Mariniers, which was established on 10 December 1665.

How does a crew behave when an emergency ditching or a crash at sea is imminent? At the Naval Operations School, aircraft crews learn practical survival skills at sea. Ditching-ditching-ditching!" During a real flight, no aircrew would ever want to hear this over the intercom of their helicopter or aeroplane. Because it means that their flight will end in a few seconds in the cold, wet and unforgiving sea. In contrast, you hear this many times a day in the water training hall of the Inspektion Überleben auf See (ÜaS) of the Marine Operations School in Bremerhaven, also known as Sea Survival. Then the underwater exit trainer glides slowly, but nevertheless...
