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. -

HMS GAMBIA, February 1955
As this magazine had to be published before GAMBIA left Trincomalee on December 31st, 1955, it was not possible to cover the last stages of the commission, viz. the cruise to Calcutta and Madras and the passage back to the United Kingdom. To all those who have contributed to the magazine, many thanks, particularly to Leading Airman McCarthy for photographs: to Coder (Ed.), James for assisting in the checking and arrangement of proofs and to the publishers, the Ceylon Daily News for their help and cooperation. For any errors or omissions, my apologies. P. O. Stanley, Editor. The photograph opposite portrays the African Elephant, national emblem of Gambia and badge of the Ship, cast in silver and presented to H. M. S. GAMBIA by the people of Gambia in September, 1946. "God of our fathers, known of old, Lord of our far-flung battle-line, Beneath whose awful Hand we hold Dominion over palm and pine- Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet Lest we forget - lest we forget! " These words from Kipling's Recessional, written some sixty years ago, sound strangely out of date to us today, for we no longer think of ourselves as holding "dominion over palm and pine". Rather do we think of a great growing partnership between the many peoples, of different races, creeds and colour, who together constitute the British Commonwealth of Nations and Empire. But the idea underlying the verse which I have quoted is not out of date. We who have been privileged in the last year to visit so many of the countries of the British community of nations have, I think, often been conscious of what Kipling meant. -
