  • FROM CRADLE to GRAVE? the Place of the Aircraft
    FROM CRADLE TO GRAVE? The Place of the Aircraft Carrier in Australia's post-war Defence Force Subthesis submitted for the degree of MASTER OF DEFENCE STUDIES at the University College The University of New South Wales Australian Defence Force Academy 1996 by ALLAN DU TOIT ACADEMY LIBRARy UNSW AT ADFA 437104 HMAS Melbourne, 1973. Trackers are parked to port and Skyhawks to starboard Declaration by Candidate I hereby declare that this submission is my own work and that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, it contains no material previously published or written by another person nor material which to a substantial extent has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma of a university or other institute of higher learning, except where due acknowledgment is made in the text of the thesis. Allan du Toit Canberra, October 1996 Ill Abstract This subthesis sets out to study the place of the aircraft carrier in Australia's post-war defence force. Few changes in naval warfare have been as all embracing as the role played by the aircraft carrier, which is, without doubt, the most impressive, and at the same time the most controversial, manifestation of sea power. From 1948 until 1983 the aircraft carrier formed a significant component of the Australian Defence Force and the place of an aircraft carrier in defence strategy and the force structure seemed relatively secure. Although cost, especially in comparison to, and in competition with, other major defence projects, was probably the major issue in the demise of the aircraft carrier and an organic fixed-wing naval air capability in the Australian Defence Force, cost alone can obscure the ftindamental reordering of Australia's defence posture and strategic thinking, which significantly contributed to the decision not to replace HMAS Melbourne.

  • CHIEF of NAVY AUSTRALIA Vice Admiral Michael Noonan, AO, RAN
    CHIEF OF NAVY AUSTRALIA Vice Admiral Michael Noonan, AO, RAN A professional head of the Australian Navy was formally established on 25 February 1904 when Captain (later Vice Admiral Sir) William Rooke Creswell, KCMG, RN, was appointed Director of the Commonwealth Naval Forces. Upon the granting of Royal Assent to establish the Royal Australian Navy on 10 July 1911, Creswell, by then a Rear Admiral, became the First Naval Member of the Australian Commonwealth Naval Board, a position he held until 9 June 1919. The first Australian born officer to hold the position was Tasmanian Vice Admiral Sir John Augustine Collins, KBE, CB, RAN. He held the position from February 1948 to February 1955. Vice Admiral Michael Noonan, AO, RAN joined the Royal Australian Navy in 1984, trained as a seaman officer and then subsequently completed Principal Warfare Officers course and specialised in Air Direction and Above Water Warfare. Throughout his career, he had experience in a wide range of Navy and ADF operations through various sea and shore posting and operational roles. Highlights have included deployments to the Middle East, Southern Ocean and being the Commissioning Commanding Officer of the Anzac class frigate HMAS Parramatta. He has fulfilled leadership positions at all levels of the Australian Defence Force, with senior positions including the Director of Military Strategic Commitments, Director General of Operations at HQJOC, Command of Maritime Border Command and Deputy Chief of Navy. In June 2018, he was appointed as an Officer of the Order of Australia in recognition of his distinguished service in significant senior ADF command roles.

  • The Establishment of the Joint Australia-United States Relay Ground Station at Pine Gap
    HIDING FROM THE LIGHT: THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE JOINT AUSTRALIA-UNITED STATES RELAY GROUND STATION AT PINE GAP The NAPSNet Policy Forum provides expert analysis of contemporary peace and security issues in Northeast Asia. As always, we invite your responses to this report and hope you will take the opportunity to participate in discussion of the analysis. Recommended Citation Richard Tanter, "HIDING FROM THE LIGHT: THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE JOINT AUSTRALIA- UNITED STATES RELAY GROUND STATION AT PINE GAP", NAPSNet Policy Forum, November 02, 2019, https://nautilus.org/napsnet/napsnet-policy-forum/hiding-from-the-light-the-establis- ment-of-the-joint-australia-united-states-relay-ground-station-at-pine-gap/ RICHARD TANTER 1 NOVEMBER 2, 2019 I. INTRODUCTION In this essay, the author discusses recently released Australian cabinet papers dealing with a decision in September 1997 to allow the establishment of a Joint Australia-United States Relay Ground Station at Pine Gap to support two United States early warning satellite systems in place of its predecessor, the Joint Space Communications Facility at Nurrungar. The cabinet papers give a picture, albeit one muddied by censorship, of the Howard government’s consideration of ‘a U.S. request to continue Australian involvement in a U.S. space technological system to provide the U.S. with not only early warning of missile attack as a basis of nuclear deterrence, but also the capacity to target a retaliatory nuclear strike in the most effective way as part of a nuclear war-fighting capability. There is little evidence in these documents that senior ministers and their advisors considered these matters with any seriousness.’ The report is also published as a PDF file (1MB) here.

  • Vice Admiral Sir William CRESWELL KCMG
    Vice Admiral Sir William Rooke CRESWELL KCMG, KBE [1852 - 1933] Admiral Creswell is known as “The Father of the Royal Australian Navy” and was President of the Club in 1901 and 1903 1 Introduction Captain Creswell (as he was then) was the President of the United Service Club, Brisbane in 1901 and 1903. His is a remarkable story of service in the Royal Navy, a less-than-successful attempt as a pastoralist in Northern Australia before resuming uniformed service with the colonial naval forces. 1 Admiral Creswell’s multiple terms of office as President are explained by the following. Under the Club’s original 1892 “Rules” or “Constitution”, the Presidency of the Club alternated “as of right” between the senior Army and Naval Commanders in the Colony (and later the State) of Queensland. A separate elected position of “Chairman of Committee” also existed who, as implied by its name, actively managed the Club through its volunteer Committee Members – including Honorary Secretary and Treasurer. In 1910 the Rules were amended to reflect a governance model, which has essentially existed ever since, where the elected President chaired the Club Committee We thank the History Interest Group and other volunteers who have researched and prepared these Notes.

  • Issue 39, March 2020
    From the President Welcome to the March 2020 edition of Call the Hands. We hope you find the mix of contemporary and historic Australian naval stories of interest and provide feedback which is always appreciated. Accompanying this edition are two quite different occasional papers. The first (OP 73) on ships badges and mottos, like many of our stories, arose out of a research query on the correct spelling of a ships name. HMA Ships Shepparton and Ballarat being the focus of attention. The former has been spelt with both either one or two P’s and the latter with three or four A’s at different times. In the case of HMAS Ballarat, the ships motto and its link to the Eureka Flag (1854) are also examined. Occasional Paper 74 focuses on shipping (naval and support) in and around the Port of Darwin on 19 February 1942. It provides details of the damage and losses incurred by these vessels and provides an overview of other World War 2 heritage sites in the vicinity of Darwin. Now in the 75th year since the end of War in the Pacific we are reminded that the ranks of our World War 2 veterans are diminishing. Sadly, Vice Admiral David Leach, AC, CBE, LVO who joined the Navy in January 1942 is one of them. The Society acknowledges his service of 43 years and leadership of the RAN for three of those years. The publication of this issue coincides with the 78th anniversary of the loss of HMAS Yarra (2) on 4 March 1942.
