  • 60 Years of Marine Nuclear Power: 1955

    60 Years of Marine Nuclear Power: 1955

    Marine Nuclear Power: 1939 - 2018 Part 4: Europe & Canada Peter Lobner July 2018 1 Foreword In 2015, I compiled the first edition of this resource document to support a presentation I made in August 2015 to The Lyncean Group of San Diego (www.lynceans.org) commemorating the 60th anniversary of the world’s first “underway on nuclear power” by USS Nautilus on 17 January 1955. That presentation to the Lyncean Group, “60 years of Marine Nuclear Power: 1955 – 2015,” was my attempt to tell a complex story, starting from the early origins of the US Navy’s interest in marine nuclear propulsion in 1939, resetting the clock on 17 January 1955 with USS Nautilus’ historic first voyage, and then tracing the development and exploitation of marine nuclear power over the next 60 years in a remarkable variety of military and civilian vessels created by eight nations. In July 2018, I finished a complete update of the resource document and changed the title to, “Marine Nuclear Power: 1939 – 2018.” What you have here is Part 4: Europe & Canada. The other parts are: Part 1: Introduction Part 2A: United States - Submarines Part 2B: United States - Surface Ships Part 3A: Russia - Submarines Part 3B: Russia - Surface Ships & Non-propulsion Marine Nuclear Applications Part 5: China, India, Japan and Other Nations Part 6: Arctic Operations 2 Foreword This resource document was compiled from unclassified, open sources in the public domain. I acknowledge the great amount of work done by others who have published material in print or posted information on the internet pertaining to international marine nuclear propulsion programs, naval and civilian nuclear powered vessels, naval weapons systems, and other marine nuclear applications.

Over the next two weeks almost 1000 persons were evacuated from locations across the country. Shortly after the evacuation was complete, the security situation deteriorated significantly. On the evening of 19 March UK Armed Forces, along with their US and French counterparts, launched military operations in Libya with the aim of protecting the civilian population of Benghazi from an imminent attack by Colonel Gaddafi’s forces. By 31 March NATO had assumed effective command of all operations to enforce UN Security Council Resolutions (UNSCRs) 1970 and 1973 as Operation Unified Protector (OUP). Committing military forces to Libya averted an imminent humanitarian catastrophe in Benghazi and has saved countless lives since.

Engine manufacturers and fuel suppliers are in a quandary, both sides of the industry saying that there will not be sufficient supplies available. Meanwhile, the marine equipment industry is pushing its ‘scrubber’ solution along with the many companies pushing LNG as a legitimate alternative. The problem of an insufficient infrastructure for the supply of LNG is another problem facing the industry. Meanwhile, the use of LPG as a marine fuel may be more practical solution (certainly on a infrastructure question).

    Report: AAD 2008 Written by I.M.G

    Report: AAD 2008 Written by I.M.G. IPMS SA Media Group Wednesday, 15 October 2008 Africa Aerospace and Defence 2008 (AAD 2008) – The largest exhibition of Air, Sea and Land equipment on the African Continent. Background to AAD 2008 By Piet van Schalkwyk - I.M.G. AAD 2008 was presented at AFB Ysterplaat, Cape Town, South Africa, over the period 17 to 21 September 2008. This was the second of these huge exhibitions to be held at AFB Ysterplaat, following on from AAD 2006. The air component of the exhibitions started many years ago as the Aviation Africa exhibition, which was hosted by the Commercial Aviation Association of South Africa. This was later renamed Aviation Africa International, due to some international participation. A second organisation, the South African Aerospace, Maritime and Defence related Industries Association (AMD) hosted the South African Air Force (SAAF) 75th anniversary exhibitions at AFB Waterkloof, during 1995, which was a huge success, but also incorporating a large military exhibition. With the growing request for further military trade exhibits and an airshow, a joint venture between CAASA and AMD was therefore the obvious way forward. The last Aviation Africa International was held in 1996. In 1998 CAASA and AMD joined in organising an exhibition which was then named Aerospace Africa. The venue for this exhibition was AFB Waterkloof and the amalgamation with AMD Hawk & Gripen at DEXSA 1998 incorporated a greater military influence. The next step was for the biennial DEXSA (Defence Exhibition of South Africa) and Aerospace Africa to be combined into Africa Aerospace & Defence, jointly hosted and presented by Armscor, AMD and CAASA.
