The Lena, which flows northward some 2,800 miles through Siberia, is one of the largest rivers in the world; the delta is a pro- tected wilderness area, the largest in Rus- sia. Russia is the subject of a “cluster” of articles in this issue, including a striking proposal for disposing of Russia’s re- maining tactical nuclear weapons, and two historical studies—of a particularly dangerous incident involving the U.S. Sixth Fleet during the 1973 Arab-Israeli War, and of Stalin’s puzzling program for a battleship navy.

Collins, U.S. Coast Guard The year 2003 was a watershed for today’s Coast Guard. The Coast Guard’s roles as a military service, as a federal law-enforcement agency, as a regulatory authority, and as a member of the new Department of Homeland Security place it squarely at the center of national initiatives to reduce security risks to our nation. Russia/the Soviet Union A Tale of Two Fleets A Russian Perspective on the 1973 Naval Standoff in the Mediterranean. 27 Lyle J. Goldstein and Yuri M. Zhukov Newly available Russian sources suggest that the superpower naval confrontation during and immediately after the 1973 Arab-Israeli War was more dangerous than has been generally appreciated, and that the Soviet Navy had made remarkable progress in correcting the deficiencies revealed in the Cuban missile crisis only a decade before. The episode is a cautionary case study for the U.S. Navy, which today has another “upstart” navy to consider. Dealing with Russian Tactical Nuclear Weapons Cash for Kilotons . 64 Timothy D. Miller and Jeffrey A. Larsen An important, troubling, and unresolved legacy of the Cold War is the remaining stock of nonstrategic tactical nuclear weapons, many of them obsolete—a complex matter beyond the reach of traditional arms control or cooperative threat reduction, and that Russia, with the predominance of such weapons, is particularly reluctant to address. The West can reduce the threat in a free market manner: by simply buying Russia’s excess weapons and disposing of them. Stalin’s Big-Fleet Program. 87 Milan L. Hauner In the 1930s, Joseph Stalin undertook to build one of the world’s largest navies, a Soviet fleet of battleships and battle cruisers. He did so in the face of well known impediments and shortfalls of geography, finances, and industrial capacity and capability—and in the absence of an obvious and compelling strategic rationale.

  • Part Ii; Self Defense and the New Law of the Sea Regimes
    PART II; SELF DEFENSE AND THE NEW LAW OF THE SEA REGIMES INTRODUCTION Admiral Bruce Harlow, USN Retired! Poulsbo, Washington It is a distinct pleasure for me to be here this afternoon to introduce a distinguished panel to you. I think the papers, commen- taries, aad discussion will be stimulating and will be of interest to all of you. I' ve had the pleasure of a personal association with the Law of the Sea Institute since its inception in Rhode Island in 1966. Believe me, that year is etched in my memory because as a somewhat idealistic lieutenant commander I presented a paper that damn near got me fired. Several weeks ago I reviewed the proceedings of that session for two reasons, One, I wanted to see the rate of survivorship of the charter members. I'm happy to report that membership does aot endanger your health, as evidenced by the large number of old fogies around here. The second reason to review the proceedings of that first meeting was to see if there was any relevance to the organization. I was frankly surprised when I looked at those proceedings to see how raaay of the thoughts and discussion points raised and reported in the pro- ceedings found their way into emerging customary law and indeed into provisions of the 1982 Convention. I think it is safe to say that over the years the Law of the Sea Institute has been one of the focal points for the discussion, albeit informal but authorititative, of important law of the sea issues.

Hattendorf: The Idea of a “Fleet in Being” in Historical Perspective THE IDEA OF a “FLEET IN BEING” IN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE John B. Hattendorf he phrase “fleet in being” is one of those troublesome terms that naval his- torians and strategists have tended to use in a range of different meanings. TThe term first appeared in reference to the naval battle off Beachy Head in 1690, during the Nine Years’ War, as part of an excuse that Admiral Arthur Herbert, first Earl of Torrington, used to explain his reluctance to engage the French fleet in that battle. A later commentator pointed out that the thinking of several Brit- ish naval officers ninety years later during the War for American Independence, when the Royal Navy was in a similar situation of inferior strength, contributed an expansion to the fleet-in-being concept.

  • DSO Listing Printed 18/6/11
    WW1 DSO Listing printed 18/6/11 HMS CONWAY - WORLD WAR ONE Companions of the Distinguished Service Order Major Sydney Vere Appleyard (1897/99), Australian Army Medical Corps LG 30389 dated 19/11/1917 Awards the DSO: “He established a forward dressing station immediately at the rear of the front line during an attack, and attended continuously to the wounded, frequently going out and dressing cases in the open under heavy shell fire … his fearlessness under fire was an inspiration to all”. The Conway Honours board records the award of a Bar to the DSO; however, the Australian War Memorial Records show that he was recommended twice for the DSO, once on 7 October 1917 and then again on 21 October 1917. On the 28th December he was Mentioned in Dispatches; the only award of the DSO was gazetted in London on 19th November 1917. Nothing further is known about this Old Conway who “swallowed the anchor” and became a doctor - and dedicated himself to his patients in the carnage on the Western Front. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lieutenant Geoffrey Howard Barnish (1900/02?) RNR LG 30900 dated 13/09/1918 Awards the DSO: “For services in action with enemy submarines” A terse citation which hides a remarkable story. HMS Fairy was an elderly Torpedo Boat Destroyer built in 1898 operating as an anti-submarine escort under the command of Geoffrey Barnish which tangled with a German submarine UC 75 off Flamborough Head on the night of 31 May 1918. A merchant ship that was being attacked by the submarine managed to ram her and force her to the surface; Fairy arrived on the scene and rammed the submarine; she was in turn herself rammed, but then finally rammed and sank the U-Boat before she herself sank.

During the eventful month of February, NATO’s Standing Naval Forces (SNFs) were reinforced to face new challenges in the NATO Area of Responsibility (AOR), NATO Anti-Submarine Warfare platforms participated in DYNAMIC MANTA 19, and Operation Sea Guardian (OSG) executed the first Focus Operation of 2019 (FOCOPS 19-1). Additionally, several key engagement activities took place with NATO partners from the Pacific Ocean to the Black Sea. Maritime Security Operations In the last month, 76 warships from NATO Nations took part in OSG, providing support in different roles to this critical Maritime Security Operation in the Mediterranean. Additionally, 72 sorties of NATO Airborne Early Warning (AEW) and Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA) were flown in direct support of the operation. The AEW flights were provided by NATO’s own assets while the MPA flights were provided by Greece, Spain, Portugal, Turkey, France, and USA. Submarines under NATO and national operational command also operated in support of OSG, providing inputs from the important sub-surface dimension. From 7-24 February, FOCOPS 19-1 took place in the Eastern Mediterranean led by the Hellenic Navy Captain Spyridon Lagaras onboard the frigate HS Limnos, and supported by submarines and air assets. OSG remains a crucial operation to enhance NATO Maritime Situational Awareness (MSA) in the Mediterranean, increasing the Alliance’ understanding of the Maritime Pattern of Life (MPoL) as the basis for detecting anomalies, and supporting the fight against crime at sea as a means to counter terrorism.

  • King George VI Wikipedia Page
    George VI of the United Kingdom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 10/6/11 10:20 PM George VI of the United Kingdom From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from King George VI) George VI (Albert Frederick Arthur George; 14 December 1895 – 6 February 1952) was King of the United Kingdom George VI and the Dominions of the British Commonwealth from 11 December 1936 until his death. He was the last Emperor of India, and the first Head of the Commonwealth. As the second son of King George V, he was not expected to inherit the throne and spent his early life in the shadow of his elder brother, Edward. He served in the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force during World War I, and after the war took on the usual round of public engagements. He married Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon in 1923, and they had two daughters, Elizabeth and Margaret. George's elder brother ascended the throne as Edward VIII on the death of their father in 1936. However, less than a year later Edward revealed his desire to marry the divorced American socialite Wallis Simpson. British Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin advised Edward that for political and Formal portrait, c. 1940–46 religious reasons he could not marry Mrs Simpson and remain king. Edward abdicated in order to marry, and George King of the United Kingdom and the British ascended the throne as the third monarch of the House of Dominions (more...) Windsor. Reign 11 December 1936 – 6 February On the day of his accession, the parliament of the Irish Free 1952 State removed the monarch from its constitution.
