  • Operation Kipion: Royal Navy Assets in the Persian by Claire Mills Gulf
    BRIEFING PAPER Number 8628, 6 January 2020 Operation Kipion: Royal Navy assets in the Persian By Claire Mills Gulf 1. Historical presence: the Armilla Patrol The UK has maintained a permanent naval presence in the Gulf region since October 1980, when the Armilla Patrol was established to ensure the safety of British entitled merchant ships operating in the region during the Iran-Iraq conflict. Initially the Royal Navy’s presence was focused solely in the Gulf of Oman. However, as the conflict wore on both nations began attacking each other’s oil facilities and oil tankers bound for their respective ports, in what became known as the “tanker war” (1984-1988). Kuwaiti vessels carrying Iraqi oil were particularly susceptible to Iranian attack and foreign-flagged merchant vessels were often caught in the crossfire.1 In response to a number of incidents involving British registered vessels, in October 1986 the Royal Navy began accompanying British-registered vessels through the Straits of Hormuz and in the Persian Gulf. Later the UK’s Armilla Patrol contributed to the Multinational Interception Force (MIF), a naval contingent patrolling the Persian Gulf to enforce the UN-mandated trade embargo against Iraq, imposed after its invasion of Kuwait in August1990.2 In the aftermath of the 2003 Iraq conflict, Royal Navy vessels, deployed as part of the Armilla Patrol, were heavily committed to providing maritime security in the region, the protection of Iraq’s oil infrastructure and to assisting in the training of Iraqi sailors and marines. 1.1 Assets The Type 42 destroyer HMS Coventry was the first vessel to be deployed as part of the Armilla Patrol, followed by RFA Olwen.

  • Commander MEJ Anderson Royal Navy
    Commander M E J Anderson Royal Navy Commanding Officer HMS RICHMOND Commander Mark Anderson was born and educated in Belfast before gaining a degree in Physics from St Andrew’s University and entering the Royal Navy. Early appointments to the Hong Kong Squadron, West Indian Guard Ship and Northern Ireland Squadron were followed by an assignment to the Mine Hunter, HMS LEDBURY as Gunnery Officer, completing his time onboard as a Boarding Officer for the Fishery Protection Squadron. Anderson then joined the Amphibious Assault Ship, HMS OCEAN as Bosun. This included deployment to the Gulf as part of the international maritime response post the attacks of 9/11. Appointed to HMS SUTHERLAND as Navigating Officer in the summer of 2002, Anderson took the Ship from the refit sheds through Basic Operational Sea Training and then ultimately to and from the Persian Gulf as part of Operation TELIC and the War Against Terrorism. He returned to the UK in December 2003 to spend two months completing his Initial Command and Staff Course prior to an enjoyable assignment as Executive Officer, HMS MERSEY. A period of warfare training followed when Anderson specialized in Underwater Warfare. This then led to an assignment as Operations Officer of HMS KENT which included a demanding deployment to the Far East in support of UK counter terrorism policy and diplomacy. Anderson then undertook Advanced Anti-Submarine Warfare training for which he the won the Ogilvy medal as top student of 2008. This resulted in a 2 year assignment to the Royal Navy Maritime Warfare School (HMS COLLINGWOOD) as OIC of the Underwater Warfare Training Element.

  • Integrated Review: the Defence Tilt to the Indo-Pacific

This paper explores what this means for UK defence, explains the current UK defence presence in the Indo-Pacific and discusses some of the concerns raised about the tilt. It is one of a series that the Commons Library is publishing on the Integrated Review (hereafter the review) and the command paper. 1. Why tilt to the Indo-Pacific? The Government says the UK needs to engage with the Indo-Pacific more deeply for its own security. The review describes the region as being at the “centre of intensifying geopolitical competition with multiple potential flashpoints.” These flashpoints include unresolved territorial disputes in the South China Sea and East China Sea, nuclear proliferation, climate change as a potential driver of conflict, and threats from terrorism and serious organised crime.

We refer to this work as ‘engagement’ and we normally seek to exploit op- portunities to put our Service ‘in the public eye’ in ceremonial and civic events as well as through warship visits to non-Naval ports and other visits by our people to employers, communities and other organisations across our respective regions. Covid-19 has certainly put paid to almost all of that! However, what you may not know is that a key ‘secondary role’ of the NRCs is in the planning for and co-ordination of, the Royal Navy’s contribution to what is known as ‘Military Aid to the Civil Author- ities’ and so, understandably, in the last 2 months HMS RANGER & CIVILIAN / MILITARY GUESTS or so our focus has shifted from engagement to resilience operations. In order to maintain the highly-valued links we have with our network in my region, we have produced this short newsletter explaining what we have been up to immediately prior to, and during, ‘the lock- down’.

  • The Seven Seas Tattler Issue 4.1 – June 2020
    The Seven Seas Tattler Issue 4.1 – June 2020 Good Day members, You may have been surprised and probably impressed with Tattler's new mast head. As it is the first edition of our fourth year it was time for a change. And our extremely talented and very generous Tracy-Lee Wise gave us permission to use one of her outstanding photographs. Now all say "Thank you Tracy!" As this harrowing, visit-less and sport-less period drags on and tempers flare up on an increasingly regular basis, we all wonder about our future and in Tattler's context, the future of our fine club. A new committee was ushered in at a "virtual AGM" - Now how many of us would have thought such an event would be possible, let alone a necessity. The committee has had to bid farewell to a long standing member, our excellent ex-Treasurer, Denzil Le Roux. We thank him for his years of honest endeavour and terrific financial management and are sure that he will be around to provide advice and guidance when such is necessary. Into the breach steps another loyal servant, the (now) ex- secretary Doug Law-Brown. We are very grateful to Doug for his willingness to switch portfolios and we are sure that he will do just as good a job in the money-department. We also thank Euan Smith who will step into the secretary role and are sure that he will be successful. Fortunately we will still have Doug available in tricky situations. (And there are often many of such!).
