El Capitán de Corbeta (Lieutenant Commander, Lt Cdr) Kyle Walkley ha transferido el mando al Capitán de Corbeta Lloyd Cardy. El Capitán de Corbeta Cardy entró a formar parte de la Royal Navy en 2010 y, antes de unirse al RNGS en julio de 2019, sirvió como Oficial de Navegación (Navigating Officer) en la Fragata tipo 23 HMS Sutherland. El Capitán de Corbeta Cardy ha pasado los dos últimos años como Oficial al Mando (Commanding Officer) del HMS Sabre y ahora ha tomado la responsabilidad como Oficial al Mando del Escuadrón de Gibraltar, para supervisar a los 26 integrantes del equipo y las embarcaciones que forman parte del RNGS. Al tomar el mando, el Capitán de Corbeta Cardy declaró: “Me sitúo al mando del Escuadrón en un momento muy interesante, preparando las [embarcaciones] P2000 para el funcionamiento temporal antes de la llegada de nuevas naves hacia el final del próximo año”. El Escuadrón de Gibraltar de la Royal Navy es el equipo de 26 miembros de la Royal Navy estacionado de forma permanente en el Peñón y opera los dos barcos de patrulla rápida HMS Scimitar y HMS Sabre, que pronto serán reemplazados por las dos embarcaciones P2000 HMS Pursuer y HMS Dasher, además de tres lanchas neumáticas rígidas (RHIB) tipo Pacific 24. El equipo es específicamente responsable de mantener la soberanía del Territorio Británico de Ultramar, además de proporcionar protección para el entorno marítimo de la zona. El Capitán de Corbeta Walkley volverá al Reino Unido tras desempeñar una breve labor en la Base de las Fuerzas Británicas en Gibraltar (HQBF Gibraltar) para completar el curso de Oficial Principal de Combate (Principal Warfare Officer) en la base HMS Collingwood, cerca de Portsmouth, Inglaterra. A su marcha, Walkley manifestó: “Gibraltar ha sido un lugar maravilloso para desempeñar mi primer puesto de mando, y las personas con las que tenido la suerte de poder trabajar durante los dos últimos años lo han hecho aún mejor”.

Lt Cdr Cardy joined the Royal Navy in 2010 and, before joining RNGS in July 2019, he served as the Navigating Officer in the Type 23 Frigate HMS SUTHERLAND. Lt Cdr Cardy has spent the last two years as the Commanding Officer of HMS SABRE and has now stepped up to take the mantle of Commanding Officer Gibraltar Squadron in charge of all 26 personnel and craft that are part of RNGS. On taking command, Lt Cdr Cardy said: “I am taking over the Squadron at a very exciting time, bringing the P2000s online as an interim craft before the arrival of the new vessels towards the end of next year”. The Royal Navy Gibraltar Squadron is the Royal Navy’s team of 26 personnel permanently based on the Rock who operate the two fast patrol boats HMS SCIMITAR and HMS SABRE, soon to be replaced by the P2000s HMS PURSUER and HMS DASHER, and three Pacific 24 RHIBs. The small team is specifically responsible for maintaining the sovereignty of the British Overseas Territory as well as providing force protection to the area’s maritime environment. Lt Cdr Walkley will return to the UK after completing a short staff job at HQBF Gibraltar to complete the Principal Warfare Officer course at HMS COLLINGWOOD near Portsmouth. On his departure he said: “Gibraltar has been an amazing place to have my first Command, made even better by the people I have been fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to work with over the last two years”. ENDS For further information please contact Command Media Officer Caroline Parkes on 5461 8000. Editor’s Note: Image: (L-R) Lt Cdr Kyle Walkley and Lt Cdr Lloyd Cardy 09/07/2020 3/3.

Hattendorf: The Idea of a “Fleet in Being” in Historical Perspective THE IDEA OF a “FLEET IN BEING” IN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE John B. Hattendorf he phrase “fleet in being” is one of those troublesome terms that naval his- torians and strategists have tended to use in a range of different meanings. TThe term first appeared in reference to the naval battle off Beachy Head in 1690, during the Nine Years’ War, as part of an excuse that Admiral Arthur Herbert, first Earl of Torrington, used to explain his reluctance to engage the French fleet in that battle. A later commentator pointed out that the thinking of several Brit- ish naval officers ninety years later during the War for American Independence, when the Royal Navy was in a similar situation of inferior strength, contributed an expansion to the fleet-in-being concept.

    InfoGibraltar Servicio de Información de Gibraltar Aviso Ministerio de Defensa El HMS Sabre, de nuevo en servicio Gibraltar, 6 de noviembre de 2019 El HMS Sabre regresa al servicio con el Escuadrón de la Royal Navy en Gibraltar (Royal Navy Gibraltar Squadron, RNGS), tras un mes de mantenimiento intensivo en el que se han desarrollado trabajos tanto en el interior como en la cubierta del buque. Con sus motores completamente revisados y una nueva capa de pintura, el buque patrulla tipo Lifespan Patrol Vessel (LPV), de 16 metros de eslora, ha sido devuelto a sus actividades en las aguas territoriales británicas de Gibraltar (BGTW) después de su revisión anual de inspección y reparación que se ha prolongado durante cuatro semanas (Annual Survey and Repair Period (ASRP). Dicha revisión implicó colocar el HMS Sabre en dique seco y llevar a cabo una limpieza profunda del buque, tanto por dentro como por fuera, incluyendo el interior de los diversos depósitos a bordo y llevar a cabo un estudio externo para evaluar la integridad del casco. El cambio más importante en el buque fue el extenso retapizado de la caseta del timón, que permite que el barco permanezca fresco en verano y proporciona aislamiento para mantener a los marineros abrigados durante el invierno. El oficial al mando del HMS Sabre, el Teniente de Navío Lloyd Cardy afirmó: "Los buques de la clase Scimitar han estado en servicio desde 1993, primero con base en Irlanda del Norte y operando en aguas fluviales, antes de ser reacondicionados y comisionados a la Royal Navy en 2003".

  • MARITIME NEWS – 22 NOVEMBER 2016 USS Zumwalt Breaks Down in Panama Canal
    MARITIME NEWS – 22 NOVEMBER 2016 USS Zumwalt breaks down in Panama Canal Photo: US Navy The U.S. Navy’s next-generation destroyer USS Zumwalt experienced engineering problems while transiting the Panama Canal en route to its new homeport, Defense News reported. USS Zumwalt had to be towed to a berth, the report said citing U.S. Navy. Problems likely resulted from an issue with heat exchangers in the ship’s power plant. “Vice Adm. Nora Tyson, commander, US Third Fleet, has directed USS Zumwalt (DDG 1000) to remain at ex-Naval Station Rodman in Panama to address engineering issues that occurred while transiting the Panama Canal. The timeline for repairs is being determined now, in direct coordination with Naval Sea Systems and Naval Surface Forces. The schedule for the ship will remain flexible to enable testing and evaluation in order to ensure the ship’s safe transit to her new homeport in San Diego,” Defense News quoted a November 21 statement from the Third Fleet spokesman Cmdr. Ryan Perry. In another incident that occurred two months ago, sailors aboard USS Zumwalt found a fault in the ship’s engineering plant while the ship was in Norfolk. It took the U.S. Navy some two weeks to repair a seawater leak that was detected in the propulsion motor drive lube oil auxiliary system for one of the ship’s shafts. The break down took place as the ship was making a transit to her new homeport of San Diego, making several port visits along the way. Upon arrival in San Diego, Zumwalt is scheduled to begin installation of her combat systems, testing and evaluation, and operational integration with the fleet.
