    ROY "PETE" PETERS 2715 Armour Lane Redondo Beach, CA 90278 (310) 947-5823 [email protected] Roy "Pete" Peters was born on 29 October 1946 at Prestonsburg General Hospital in Prestonsburg, KY. He was the second son to Bill and Maudie Peters. He lived in Kentucky, and for a short time in Indiana. For economic reasons in 1952 his family moved to Munith, Michigan. Pete worked at various small job and auto repair shops before and after high School. In March 1966, he joined the Navy. He attended basic training at Great Lakes and then received orders to USS Prairie (AD-15) in Long Beach, CA, where he was assigned to "A" Gang and Boat Division. The USS Prairie sailed to Pearl Harbor in 1966 and in September of that year, he received orders to USS Frank E. Evans (DD-754). It took three weeks travel for him to catch up with the ship in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Soon he was underway on Evans to Vietnam for Naval Gunfire Support operations. On Evans Pete was assigned to "M" Division as an undesignated engineering Machinist Mate striker. He was assigned to forward engine room operating and repairing various steam driven pumps, valves, and turbines. He made two more West-Pac tours and was promoted to E-4 in April of 1968. On the morning of 3 June 1969, he was on mid-watch as a training officer when the collision with the Australian aircraft carrier, HMAS Melbourne (R-21) occurred. He was trapped in the engine room and scalded by the 600 pound 850-degree super-heated steam.

  • We Envy No Man on Earth Because We Fly. the Australian Fleet Air
    We Envy No Man On Earth Because We Fly. The Australian Fleet Air Arm: A Comparative Operational Study. This thesis is presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Murdoch University 2016 Sharron Lee Spargo BA (Hons) Murdoch University I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. …………………………………………………………………………….. Abstract This thesis examines a small component of the Australian Navy, the Fleet Air Arm. Naval aviators have been contributing to Australian military history since 1914 but they remain relatively unheard of in the wider community and in some instances, in Australian military circles. Aviation within the maritime environment was, and remains, a versatile weapon in any modern navy but the struggle to initiate an aviation branch within the Royal Australian Navy was a protracted one. Finally coming into existence in 1947, the Australian Fleet Air Arm operated from the largest of all naval vessels in the post battle ship era; aircraft carriers. HMAS Albatross, Sydney, Vengeance and Melbourne carried, operated and fully maintained various fixed-wing aircraft and the naval personnel needed for operational deployments until 1982. These deployments included contributions to national and multinational combat, peacekeeping and humanitarian operations. With the Australian government’s decision not to replace the last of the aging aircraft carriers, HMAS Melbourne, in 1982, the survival of the Australian Fleet Air Arm, and its highly trained personnel, was in grave doubt. This was a major turning point for Australian Naval Aviation; these versatile flyers and the maintenance and technical crews who supported them retrained on rotary aircraft, or helicopters, and adapted to flight operations utilising small compact ships.
