Master of Arts (History), May 2012, 130 pp., references, 86. The Portuguese Expeditionary Force fought in the trenches of northern France from April 1917 to April 1918. On 9 April 1918 the sledgehammer blow of Operation Georgette fell upon the exhausted Portuguese troops. British accounts of the Portuguese Corps’ participation in combat on the Western Front are terse. Many are dismissive. In fact, Portuguese units experienced heavy combat and successfully held their ground against all attacks. Regarding Georgette, the standard British narrative holds that most of the Portuguese soldiers threw their weapons aside and ran. The account is incontrovertibly false. Most of the Portuguese combat troops held their ground against the German assault. This thesis details the history of the Portuguese Expeditionary Force.

Joao II , No.41, 10th floor 1998-023 Lisboa, Portugal, Email: {miguel.santos, margarida.vieira, nuno.avila}@deimos.com.pt ABSTRACT The 2000 active satellites, which represent an enormous of the value by its operational output and by the growing investment they represent, are becoming threatened by the growing number of active constellations, most of them the “new space” actors. This represents a growing need to predict and correct the orbits of the active satellites, avoiding collisions with other inactive satellites or debris, and guarantee their long-term operation and investment. In such sense, Portugal, through the Portuguese Ministry of Defense – Armaments Directorate, is investing with the purpose of obtaining SST data autonomously, as well as to produce derived SST information and services from it. Such information will contribute to a wider national and international common effort, with valuable data and services that can support all kind of stakeholders. This paper describes the capabilities and versatility of the Portuguese SST network, provides information about the main assets, their capabilities and characteristics and provides samples and discussions on the data products obtained and made available by the National Operations Centre (NOC).

  • Maritime Piracy in the Gulf of Guinea1
    1 Maritime Piracy in the Gulf of Guinea Henrique Portela Guedes 2 Maritime piracy dates back to the beginnings of maritime navigation, when the first commercial exchanges by sea began, having been considered practically extinct in the 19th century. It began to increase gradually from the end of the 1980s, however, the world only woke up to this reality with the outbreak of maritime piracy in the waters of Somalia in 2008. Since then, to this day, this phenomenon has become a serious threat to global maritime security. Currently, the Gulf of Guinea (GG) is the major concern of the international community, due to the high number of acts of piracy that have been registered there. This growth is due to several factors, mostly common to practically all the countries that are part of this Gulf, such as: deficient social policies, high corruption, high demography, high unemployment rates and huge proliferation of criminal networks. These are the factors that, associated with the lack of maritime policies on the part of the States in the region and of naval 1 This text was previously published at JANUS.NET, e-journal of International Relations, e-ISSN: 1647-7251, Vol. 11, Nº. 1 (May-October 2020), pp.112-119. https://repositorio.ual.pt/bitstream/11144/4540/3/EN_JANUS.NET_VOL11N1_Note01.pdf 2 Portuguese Navy Captain, graduated in Naval Military Sciences, by Escola Naval, postgraduate in International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights in conflict situations, by Instituto Europeu/IDN, and in Advanced Geopolitics Studies, for Universidade Autónoma de Lisboa/IDN.

  • English and Irish Naval Officers in the War for Brazilian Independence by Brian Vale
    Irish Migration Studies in Latin America Vol. 4, No. 3: July 2006 www.irlandeses.org English and Irish Naval Officers in the War for Brazilian Independence By Brian Vale View of Rio de Janeiro 1799 (Garneray) In the literal sense they were mercenaries, but that word acquired distasteful associations in the twentieth century and is best avoided. These men simply sought to earn a living. Since the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars had lasted for a generation, there were plenty of people in Europe who knew of no other occupation or had no other expectations. South American Independence and the Sea The Napoleonic Wars dealt a devastating blow to the Spanish Empire in the Americas. The arrest of the Spanish Royal Family in 1808 and the French occupation of Spain produced a maelstrom of revolution and led to the appointment of local juntas at home and abroad to rule in the name of the absent king. In the Americas, the juntas acquired a taste for self-government and, led by radicals and military strongmen, successively replaced the Royalist administrations with republican regimes. Argentina was in the van- guard of this movement. By 1814 it had formed an independent republic, and in 1818 Argentine troops crossed the Andes and liberated Chile. Peru was then invaded by sea and, in 1821, became an independ- ent republic. When Simón Bolívar secured the territories to the north, in 1825, Spanish South America was free from Spanish rule. Territorial armies and land campaigns played a vital role in securing independence, but command of the sea was also crucial.

  • Analysis and Improvement of the Management of Stocks in 'Vasco Da Gama' Frigates - a Practical Study
    Analysis and Improvement of the Management of Stocks in 'Vasco da Gama' Frigates - A Practical Study José Miguel Aragão Celestino Soares, ISEG Lisbon School of Economics & Management, Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal Fernanda Maria de Almeida Santos Mendes, European University/Laureate International Universities, Portugal The European Conference on Sustainability, Energy & the Environment 2017 Official Conference Proceedings Abstract Vessels, as an autonomous system, require the provision of maintenance needs, and transport the spare parts necessary to meet those needs. The existence of stocks and the type of lots on board are intertwined with the type of mission assigned, and according to the duration of the mission, often the ship cannot be supplied by land. For this reason, the normal time in the supply chain requires stocks, since in the Portuguese Navy, and in particularly on ships during its voyages, it is not possible to implement the ‘Just-in-Time’ system, which limits the time factor. Thus, in order to guarantee the autonomy of the missions with the supply cycle available, board batches to ‘Vasco da Gama’ frigate’s engines, allow the ship's systems to be permanently operational. This study includes, in a first phase, an estimate of the maintenance needs of the main propulsion engines of the ‘Vasco da Gama’ Class Frigates using the arithmetic mean method and the least squares method. This is followed by an approach to stock management using the ABC analysis to determine which spare parts require more detailed control. Finally, the optimum quantity of spare parts per board batch, to be used for autonomous navigation missions up to a maximum of one year, is determined.

Mathew Portugal was the spearhead of European expansion. It was the Portuguese who inagurated the age of renaissance- discovery and thus initiated the maritime era of world history. There is hardly any period in world history as romantic in its appeal as this ‘ Age of Discovery ’ and hence it is of perennial interest. The Portuguese achievement in that age is a success story which has few parallels. That they achieved what they set forth - “possessing the sources of the spice-trade and its diversion to European markets” -is a great feat for a country of her size, population and resources.

  • Smooth Sailing for the Viana Do Castelo Class Patrol Vessel
    Smooth Sailing for the Viana Do Castelo Class Patrol Vessel Interview with Rear Admiral Prof. António Manuel Fernandes da Silva Ribeiro, Deputy Vice-Chief of Naval Staff of the Portuguese Navy (1) Portugal has one of the biggest Exclusive Economic Zones in Europe. Can you describe how the new Viana do Castelo class patrol vessel will help to police this area in terms of: a. Value for money for the Navy b. Multi-role capability of the vessels c. The technological improvement they bring from their predecessors The mission of the Portuguese Navy is to provide naval forces for the integrated defense of national territory, including surveillance and control of territorial waters and unrestricted use of national ports and harbors. The Navy's mission also includes the control of the Economical Exclusive Zone, through non-military tasks such as: maritime law enforcement, search and rescue, fishery protection, environmental protection or prevention of pollution, response to emergencies. When compared to the ships the Navy currently employs in those tasks, the new OPV Viana do Castelo allows for better endurance, with reduced fuel consumption and fewer personnel on board. The technological improvements are mainly on a new integrated platform management system, C3 and extra accommodation and storage space. Though survivability in combat was not a main construction feature, built in C3 capability ensures it can integrate a force and be employed as a modular capacity (transport for a marine detachment, mine- warfare or diving operations support platform, etc.). Nonetheless, spare bunks can be made available to accommodate a ship protection team, this increasing the ship’s survivability in coastal and in-shore operations.
