The Royal Australian Navy has taken a hi-tech approach to attracting recruits.

It has launched a new game which iPhone users can download.

The game, called 'Navy Sink 'Em', lets players control Navy ships, frigates and submarines.

Each player does their best to sink the enemy's ships while trying to ensure that their own fleet is not blown up.

More than 4000 people have reportedly downloaded the free app.
