    Issue No.32 July 2019 From the President Welcome to this 33rd edition of Call the Hands and Occasional Papers 60 and 61. Occasional Paper 61 about the service life of Able Seaman Panos George Livery during WW2 can be accessed via the Society’s website. It was too large for attachment to the covering e-mail. The website Research page where Occasional pages are posted also provides access to more than 2,000 stories previously published by the Society. Readers can search by selecting a category or key word. On 22 July it was pleasure to attend the presentation evening conducted by the Society's Chapter in Melbourne. A warm welcome by VP John Redman, Marty Grogan and other Committee members in the absence of President Rex Williams was very much appreciated as was the opportunity to meet many of our Victorian members. We wish Rex who was laid low in hospital a speedy recovery. The main reason for the visit was to present first prize for our essay competition on autonomous ships won by Lieutenant Mario de Angelis. Mario's excellent essay which addressed the many considerations associated with development of autonomous vessels; technical, operational and regulatory was published in the June 2019 edition of the Naval Historical Review. Congratulations Mario and thanks to the Chatswood RSL Club for its generous support. Attendance at Society presentation evenings conducted in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, and Canberra are not only an opportunity to hear interesting presentations but to socialize with many other like-minded members and friends. Details of coming events which are pen to all are available on the Society's website home page.

  • South Africa's Grey Diplomats; Visits by South African Warships to Foreign Countries 1946 - 1996
    Scientia Militaria, South African Journal of Military Studies, Vol 27, 1997. http://scientiamilitaria.journals.ac.za South Africa's Grey Diplomats; Visits by South African Warships to Foreign Countries 1946 - 1996 PROF ANDRE WESSELS Department of History, University of the Orange Free State, Bloemfonteinl ABSTRACT The primary role of the South African Navy is to defend the Republic of South Africa, its citizens and interests. In times of peace the Navy has an equally impor- tant role to play, for example to conduct assistance operations, including diplo- matic support. During the first 75 years of the history of the South African Navy (1922-1997), its warships took part in about 70flag-showing cruises. In this arti- cle a review is given of the 68 flag-s howing cruises by South Africa's grey diplo- mats in the years from 1946 (when the South African Naval Forces were reconsti- tuted) to 1996 (i.e. on the eve of the Navy's 75th anniversary). The aim is to ascer- tain the nature, extent and value of the South African Navy's diplomatic role. OPSOMMING Die primere taak van die Suid-Afrikaanse Vloot is om die Republiek van Suid-Afrika, die land se inwoners en belange, te beskerm teen enige vorm van buitelandse bedreiging. In vredestyd het die Vloot egter 'n ewe belangrike rol te speel, byvoorbeeld om hulpver- leningsoperasies te ondemeem, insluitende diplomatieke steun. Oorlogskepe van die Suid-Afrikaanse Vloothet gedurende die Vloot se eerste 75 jaar (1922-1997) ongeveer 70 vlagvertoonvaarte ondemeem. In hierdie artikel word 'n oorsig gegee van die 68 vlagvertoon- vaarte wat in die jare vanaf 1946 (toe die Suid-Afrikaanse Seemagte geherkonstitueer is) The author would like to thank all who assisted him in completing the manuscript, in particular Rear-Adm (rtd) P.A.
