Foreword by the Secretary of State for Defence I am delighted to introduce the 2019 - 2022 Corporate Plan for the Submarine Delivery Agency (SDA), which sets out the intent for delivery of this essential part of Defence. The Continuous at Sea Deterrent (CASD) is the cornerstone of our national security, reaffirmed by Parliament in 2016, and its delivery demands a strong and clear focus. Our Defence Purpose is to protect the people of the UK, prevent conflict, and be ready to fight the UK’s enemies. Our submarine capability ensures we are prepared for the present. It also guarantees we are fit for the future and provides the ultimate guarantee of our safety for the next 50 years and beyond. In its first year of operation, the SDA has made great strides to sustain the readiness and availability of our current and future key defence capabilities. I have seen the real progress being made on the ground in delivering our submarines in build and ensuring that our in-service fleet is able to fulfil its missions. We have seen commitments of around £2.5Bn to support the second phase of the Dreadnought programme so far.

  • Reginald James Morry's Memoirs of WWII
    THE MORRY FAMILY WEBSITE -- HTTP://WEB.NCF.CA/fr307/ World War II Memoirs of Reginald James Morry Including an eyewitness account of the sinking of the German battleship “Bismarck”. Reginald James Morry 10/6/2007 Edited by C. J. Morry Following long standing Newfoundland maritime tradition, when hostilities broke out at the beginning of WWII, Reginald James Morry chose to serve in the “Senior Service”, the Royal Navy. This is his personal account of those momentous years, including one of the most crucial naval battles of the war, the sinking of the German battleship “Bismarck”. © Reginald James Morry; Edmonton, Alberta, Canada; 2007 World War II Memoirs of Reginald James Morry (then Able Seaman R. Morry P/SSX 31753) Including an eyewitness account of the sinking of the German battleship “Bismarck”. Newfoundland’s Military Legacy Newfoundland participated in both World Wars. Even though the province is small, it produced a famous Regiment of Infantry that fought in Gallipolis and from there to France. They lost quite a few men in Turkey and were decimated twice in France, once in Beaumont Hamel and again at Arras and other areas on the Somme. Total casualties (fatal) were 1305, and at sea 179 lost their lives. Of those that returned, many died of wounds, stress, and worn out hearts. They were given the title “Royal” for their role in the defence of Masnieres (the Battle for Cambrai) by King George VI, the reigning Monarch of the time. World War II is practically dead history, especially since some anti-Royals disbanded the regiment in 2002, as it's territorial section, according to the present army regime in HQ Ottawa, did not measure up!! During WWII the British changed the regiment over to Artillery so they became known as The Royal Newfoundland Light Artillery to lessen the chances of heavy losses.

  • Sails of Glory Battle for the Seas a Sails of Glory Campaign
    Sails Of Glory Battle for the Seas A Sails of Glory Campaign Time Sometime during the Napoleonic Wars 1803-1805. Info about the Campaign After Napoleon had won many great victories on land in Europe, and crushed every country in battle. France was the dominating power in Europe on land and the English were masters of the sea. Behind their wooden wall of ships, they were relatively safe from any invasion force. Napoleon wanted to change this and invade England. In March 1802 a peace treaty was signed between France and England in Amiens, France. But both countries were irritated and angry with each other’s actions in the aftermath of the peace treaty, and it was an uneasy peace. And after some diplomatic quarrels England declared war on France again in May 1803. After war broke out again, Napoleon started preparation for invasion of England – but to have success, he needed to take out the English fleet that protected the English Channel. From 1803 to 1805 a new army of 150 000-200,000 men, known as the Armée des côtes de l'Océan (Army of the Ocean Coasts) or the Armée d'Angleterre (Army of England), was gathered and trained at camps at Boulogne, Bruges and Montreuil. A large "National Flotilla" of invasion barges was built in Channel ports along the coasts of France and the Netherlands. A fleet of nearly 2000 craft. At the same time he made plans with the Spanish to assemble a large fleet, which was strong enough to challenge the English Navy, and make it possible for Napoleon to invade England.

  • FRYER, Ernest
    FRYER, Ernest Sub-Lieutenant H.M.S. Vengeance, Royal Naval Reserve who died on Tuesday, 15 th June 1915. Aged 28 Ernest was the son of Mahala Rebecca Paczensky (formerly Fryer) of 8, Belsize Park, Hampstead, London and the late Robert Fryer, native of Abberton. They lived at Abberton Glebe. Ernest was born in 1887 and was his parents third child. His father died a few years later and his mother re-married in 1900. Ernest, as a twelve year old boy decided to run away to sea and joined a windjammer in London Docks. The Captain contacted Mrs. Paczensky and persuaded her that Ernest should be allowed to sail with him, as the ship was returning in a few months. Furthermore the experience would "get it out of his system". In fact Ernest decided that "this was the life for me". He stayed with the Merchant Navy until he joined the Royal Navy, as war approached. Ernest joined the RNR and was commissioned, as a Sub Lieutenant on the 12th June 1912. He was serving on HMS Vengeance, which was an obsolete coal fired Battleship of the Canopus class. She had four 12 inch and twelve 6 inch guns plus lighter weapons. She was at the Nore and used as a Gunnery Training Ship. August 26 th 1914 H.M.S. Vengeance left Portland to patrol off Ostende until the 1 st September. She patrolled in the Channel throughout September and October, checking on other vessels from trawlers to liners and cargo vessels. She periodically called into Plymouth, Portland and Portsmouth to coal and to re-provision.

  • Defence Acquisition
    Defence acquisition Alex Wild and Elizabeth Oakes 17th May 2016 He efficient procurement of defence equipment has long been a challenge for British governments. It is an extremely complex process that is yet to be mastered with vast T sums of money invariably at stake – procurement and support of military equipment consumes around 40 per cent of annual defence cash expenditure1. In 2013-14 Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) spent £13.9bn buying and supporting military equipment2. With the House of Commons set to vote on the “Main Gate” decision to replace Trident in 2016, the government is set to embark on what will probably be the last major acquisition programme in the current round of the Royal Navy’s post-Cold War modernisation strategy. It’s crucial that the errors of the past are not repeated. Introduction There has been no shortage of reports from the likes of the National Audit Office and the Public Accounts Committee on the subject of defence acquisition. By 2010 a £38bn gap had opened up between the equipment programme and the defence budget. £1.5bn was being lost annually due to poor skills and management, the failure to make strategic investment decisions due to blurred roles and accountabilities and delays to projects3. In 2008, the then Secretary of State for Defence, John Hutton, commissioned Bernard Gray to produce a review of defence acquisition. The findings were published in October 2009. The following criticisms of the procurement process were made4: 1 http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20120913104443/http://www.mod.uk/NR/rdonlyres/78821960-14A0-429E- A90A-FA2A8C292C84/0/ReviewAcquisitionGrayreport.pdf 2 https://www.nao.org.uk/report/reforming-defence-acquisition-2015/ 3 https://www.nao.org.uk/report/reforming-defence-acquisition-2015/ 4 http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20120913104443/http://www.mod.uk/NR/rdonlyres/78821960-14A0-429E- A90A-FA2A8C292C84/0/ReviewAcquisitionGrayreport.pdf 1 [email protected] Too many types of equipment are ordered for too large a range of tasks at too high a specification.
