THE AUSTRALIAN NAVAL ARCHITECT Volume 22 Number 3 August 2018 HMAS Adelaide preparing to embark United States Marine Corps amphibious assault vehicles during Exercise Rim of the Pacific 18 (RIMPAC 2018), Hawaii, in July. HMAS Adelaide unexpectedly took a lead role in the amphibious phase of RIMPAC when the US Navy assault ship planned for that role suffered mechanical problems and remained in Pearl Harbour for most of the exercise. HMAS Adelaide led HMA Ships Success, Melbourne and Toowoomba across the Pacific to take part in this major exercise which involved 25 nations, 46 surface ships, five submarines, 17 land forces, and more than 200 aircraft and 25 000 personnel.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Good Evening
Trafalgar Dinner Address by Vice Admiral Tim Barrett, AO, CSC, RAN Chief of Navy Australian Defence Force Academy 17 October 2014 Ladies and Gentlemen, good evening. It is a distinct pleasure to dine with you this evening, to mark what will, in just a few days, be the 209th anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar. There is reason for us being here tonight; a great and significant purpose. Some might think it because the Royal Australian Navy has four serving Vice Admirals for the first time in its history but, however impressive, that is not why we’re here. Some might think it because we can have an enjoyable evening together but, while I am sure we will, that is not why we’re here. Some might think it so I can quiz you on which of the RAN’s serving Vice Admirals is the same height as Lord Nelson – no pressure to get the right answer – but that is not why we are here. Ladies and Gentlemen, the reason we are here tonight is because we are different; different by virtue of our membership of the naval profession of arms. While we are rightly part of a joint force, the Australian Defence Force, and while you attend a tri‐service academy, you are still different from your army and air force peers. The value you will bring to the joint fight is your expertise, your skill, your mastery of warfare at sea – on, over, under and from the sea. Whether you are aircrew, supply, engineer, warfare officer, doctor, dentist or submariner, you are first and foremost a naval officer – it is a unique profession in its benefits and challenges – it is anything but ordinary and it is immensely important to Australia. -

Defence and National Security 29 June The Turnbull Government will deliver one of the world’s most advanced anti‐submarine warfare frigates, create 4000 Australian jobs and secure a local naval shipbuilding industry for decades to come.

This $35 billion program will create 4,000 Australian jobs right around the country and create unprecedented local and global opportunities for businesses large and small. The Hunter class will begin entering service in the late 2020s replacing the eight Anzac Frigates, which have been in service since 1996. The Turnbull Government is committed to give our military the potent naval capability it needs.
