  • 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.

    partan entinel MSU Varsity Alumni ‘S’ Club NEWSLETTER VOL. 55 ISSUE 1 A Very Special Spartan Joe Barrie remembers a time likely remembered by no other Spartan. Showing a picture of himself in his playing days: at right is Joseph Barrie, an ‘S’ Club member who lives in Altadena, California. Joe sent us a note last spring telling how he was enjoying his 100th birthday, and about his most exciting day: an early September Saturday in 1934 in Ann Arbor, when Michigan State College beat Michigan (the undefeated national champions in ’33) in football, 16 to nothing. It was State’s first victory over Michigan in 19 years, and only the second ever. Joe told how he was State’s center and played all 60 minutes, and how the Michigan center was Jerry Ford, later President of the United States. He was proud that he played for 55 minutes in 1935, when “MSC” again beat Michigan. This writer has been in contact by phone and email with Joe’s daughter, Judie, who said that Joe’s only difficulty these days is that he is hard of hearing.
