For the navies, carrier aviation was the key element for air enablement along with land based air which could operate from key land based choke points to provide for key capabilities to assist in controlling the sea lines of communication. With the emergence of fifth generation aviation, the manned-unmanned dynamic and the evolution of weapons, a new version of operating in the integrated battlespace is emerging. The US Navy refers to this as the kill web, a capability to move from a linear kill chain to a distributed fleet able to tap into capabilities available throughout an integrated force. This is an aspiration more than the current reality, but the US and its core allies are working hard to move aspiration to reality.1 This special report looks at the emergence of the kill web from the perspective of the maritime and air forces. We first look at some conceptual issues in terms of how to characterize the way ahead for the fleet as it integrates with land and sea based capabilities to deliver its combat effect. A key element of the change is shaping a more distributed C2 structure with a mission command approach, rather than the kind of hierarchical structure which can be used in slo mo war. The shift from the kinds of land wars fought in the past decade and a half to operating across the range of military operations to insert force and to prevail in a more rapid tempo conflict than that which characterized counter-insurgency operations carries with it a need to have a very different C2 structure and technologies to support those structures. The shift to higher tempo operations is being accompanied by platforms which are capable of operating in an extended battlespace and at the edge of the battlespace where hierarchical, detailed control simply does not correlate with the realities of either combat requirements or of technology which is part of a shift to distributed operations. Distributed operations over an extended

    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.

  • Issue 16 February 2018
    CALL THE HANDS NHSA DIGITAL NEWSLETTER Issue No.16 February 2018 From the President Welcome to our first edition of Call the Hands for 2018. Since December, the wreck of HMAS AE1 has been discovered, STS Young Endeavour celebrated 30 years of service and Society members have been involved in several interesting activities. In the week prior to Christmas the discovery of HMAS AE1, excited the nation and ended the Navy’s longest mystery. AE1 was lost off the island of Rabaul on 14 September 1914 with all 35 crew members. The wreck site will remain ‘close held’ by Find AE1 Expedition member organisations until appropriate measures are taken to protect the site. Expedition leader, retired Rear Admiral Peter Briggs who has worked much of his life to find HMAS AE1 and his colleagues are saluted for this historic achievement. On 16 January the Commanding Officer HMAS Hobart, Captain John Stavridis and Supply Officer, Lieutenant Commander Mark Lee visited the Boatshed to acquaint themselves with an important HMAS Hobart heritage item, the Captain’s table from HMAS Hobart (I). The Society has held the table in trust since Hobart (II) decommissioned in May 2000. Descendants of HMAS Patricia Cam crew members and the community marked the 76th anniversary of her loss with a series of events in Darwin, Gosford, Sydney and Canberra from 20 to 22 January. Patricia Cam sank on 22 January 1943 after being bombed by a Japanese float plane. Society members participated in the Gosford (plaque unveiling where she was built) and Canberra last post ceremony at the Australian War Memorial.

    CALL THE HANDS NHSA DIGITAL NEWSLETTER Issue No.17 March 2018 From the President Welcome to the March 2018 edition of Call the Hands. It is with great pride that we report on the launch of the Society’s new website and bring you two Occasional Papers. The first Paper highlighting the 50th anniversary of the commissioning of HMAS Advance is published courtesy of the Australian National Maritime Museum (ANMM) which maintains Advance in excellent condition and open to thousands of visitors annually. The second paper relates to the recent decommissioning of HMAS Darwin and the Fleet Commander’s speech in which he used verse to describe Darwin’s service life. After more than eight months of solid effort by the Society’s web developer The Deign Web and many volunteers working on content it was an honour to have Society Patron and Chief of Navy, Vice Admiral Tim Barrett, AO, CSC, RAN launch the site at an event on Cockatoo Island 22 February. In the presence of other distinguished guests it was an opportunity to thank those involved and acknowledge the support of donors and the Department of Environment and Energy which funded much of the project through the Community Heritage and Icons Grants program. The Sydney Harbour Federation Trust which manages Cockatoo Island was also most supportive throughout the development process. Our story explains why Cockatoo Island was chosen and other features of the new website. It is worth a surf. Reciprocal arrangements between the Society and editor of the ANMM’s volunteers newsletter, All Hands, benefits both organizations through the sharing of stories of mutual interest.

  • We Envy No Man on Earth Because We Fly
    By Webmaster The FAAAA is honoured to be able to publish the following Thesis by Dr. Sharron Spargo, who prepared it as part of her Degree of Doctory of Philosophy in 2016. She advises me that the work is currently being rewritten in preparation for publication as a history of the Fleet Air Arm, in its own right. Any readers who have served in the RAN Fleet Air Arm will relate to this work: it traces the evolution of the FAA from the very early days though to the present, and in doing so delves into detail of the truly memorable post WWII parts of our history: the Korean Conflict and Vietnam in particular. But it is not a dry history, as some are. It contains the names and thoughts of many names that we recognise: ship and squadron mates who served with us, and whose insights into circumstances and events are of themselves great interest. I commend it to you as a body of work that serves to capture, from a fresh perspective, the life and times of this the very best Arm of the Royal Australian Navy. Our grateful thanks go to Dr Spargo for allowing this work to be published on our website. Marcus Peake Webmaster 10Jun17 We Envy No Man On Earth Because We Fly.

This year the trophy was awarded to 808 Squadron, which flies the MRH-90 multi-role helicopter. Commander Australian Fleet, Rear Admiral Stuart Mayer, presented the award to Squadron Commanding Officer, Commander Adrian Capner, during a recent visit to HMAS Albatross. “The attitude of 808 Squadron has been fantastic," Rear Admiral said. Your desire to make this capability work has been first rate and has been much commented on. Your dedication and hard work can be seen by the maintenance availability and flying rate, and the Squadron’s ability to get this aircraft to sea and on operations has been impressive.” Afterwards, Commander Capner said that it was gratifying to see the tireless efforts of his personnel over the last 12 months recognised with the presentation of the award. “It’s been a very high tempo time for us and we have achieved some significant milestones. We are particularly proud of the Squadron’s rapid response to humanitarian assistance tasking for Opera- tion PHILLIPINES ASSIST, following Tropical Cyclone Haiyan and Operation PACIFIC ASSIST earlier this year in response to Cyclone Pam.
