Scheduled for delivery in the second quarter of 2023, the 248-person ferries have been designed by Norway-based firm HAV Design and will be able to accommodate 80 cars and six trailers. Both 84-metre-long vessels will have a battery-powered propulsion system, which can be charged via shore power while passengers are disembarking in port. They will also have a diesel-electric backup system to allow them to operate in either fully electric, hybrid or diesel-electric mode. Once in service, the vessels will operate on the routes between Stranda and Liabygda, and Eidsdal and Linge. Aurora Botnia successfully completes first sea trials RAUMA MARINE CONSTRUCTIONS Aurora Botnia pictured during her sea trials Wasaline’s new car and passenger ferry Aurora Botnia has successfully completed her first sea trials. The vessel, which is nearing completion at the Rauma Marine Constructions (RMC) shipyard in Finland, underwent three days of tests to assess operational performance. Aurora Botnia will be the first car and passenger ferry in the world with a Clean Design class notation, which signifies that it has been designed and built to significantly exceed the requirements of the MARPOL Convention for the prevention of pollution from ships. The main engines will operate primarily on low-emission LNG fuel to minimise sulphur, nitrogen and carbon dioxide emissions. The ship also has an electric power system that can be used in ports and in future, she will be able to be powered by biogas. Preparations are underway for RMC to deliver Aurora Botnia to Wasaline in Vaasa, Finland. The date of the handover, the maiden voyage and the start of ticket sales will be announced next week. Once in service, the vessel will operate between Vaasa and Umeå in Sweden. Brodosplit builds largest square-rigged cruise ship in the world BRODOSPLIT Brodosplit shipyard in Split, Croatia, has completed the construction of Golden Horizon, the largest square-rigged cruise ship in the world, for UK cruise operator Tradewind Voyages. Golden Horizon is 162 metres long and has five masts with 36 cross sails that have a total area of 6,347 square metres. She can accommodate 272 passengers in 140 luxury cabins as well as 159 crew members. The ship features a library and large lounges, one of which extends across three decks. On the open decks, there are three bars and three pools, including one for diving. Along with her sails, the ship is equipped with two independent electric propulsion motors. The larger motor provides 2,500 kilowatt hours of power, while the smaller unit provides 1,700. The engines will be able to operate for 400 hours without refuelling. The ship has been designed to sail worldwide, including in the polar regions. She will be able to reach speeds of between 16 and 20 knots under sail, while the engines will enable a speed of up to 17 knots.

E flexer floated out at Weihai Shipyard Stena Line The new vessel is currently under construction CMI Jinling Weihai Shipyard in China Stena Line’s new extended E-Flexer ferry has been floated out at CMI Jinling Weihai Shipyard in Weihai, China. The new vessel was ordered in 2018 and is the fourth of five E-Flexer ferries designed and built by Stena Line in collaboration with sister company Stena RoRo. The fourth and fifth vessel in the series will be 240 metres long with a load capacity of 2,600 lane metres, with 50 per cent more cabins and beds, 30 per cent increased passenger capacity and an additional 15 per cent cargo capacity compared to the first three ships. The E-Flexer ferries are up to 30 per cent more energy efficient than existing vessels in the fleet, and can be converted for operation on methanol or LNG fuel. The two longer vessels will be equipped to use shore power during port calls, which also allows for them to be converted to battery hybrid operation in the future.

PRIDE OF BURGUNDY Type 31 Frigates The names of the five future frigates, to be built by Babcock in Rosyth, were revealed during First Sea Lord’s Seapower conference. With the approval of the Queen, the ships are to be named HMS Active, Bulldog, Campbeltown, Formidable and Venturer – with the Royal Navy saying the names were drawn from “warships and submarines whose deeds and missions are intended to reflect and inspire current and future Royal Navy operations.” The names were selected to represent ‘key themes and operations’ that are set to dominate the mission of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines. Formidable will represent carrier operations; Bulldog, the operational advantage in the North Atlantic; Active, the forward deployment of ships across the globe; Venturer, the drive for technology and innovation; and Campbeltown representing the Royal Marines new Future Commando Force. The five new Type 31 Frigates and in-development Type 26 Frigates will replace the Royal Navy’s outgoing Type 23 Frigates. The first steel for the five new Type 31 ships is due to be cut this summer and are all due to be in service by 2028. The name HMS Active was previously used by Type 21-class frigate, HMS Active, built by then Vosper Thornycroft in the 1970s. Active saw service during the Falkland’s war. HMS Bulldog was previously used by a B-class Destroyer notable for having captured a complete German Enigma machine and codebooks during WW2 from the German submarine U-110 in 1941. HMS Campbeltown was previously used for a Batch 3 Type 22 frigate and a Town-class destroyer transferred from the US Navy to the Royal Navy during WW2. The Town-class Campbeltown participated in the raid on St Nazaire. An Illustrious-class aircraft carrier previously held the name HMS Formidable. The ship participated in Operation Torch, the allied invasion of North Africa in 1942. HMS Venturer was a British Submarine notable for sinking two German U-boats and five Merchant ships during WW2. HMS Venturer is known as the only submarine to sink another submarine while both were underwater. THE LITTLE SHIPS THAT KEEP OUR RIVER GOING PART 2: P.L.A.

    All Guns Blazing! Newsletter of the Naval Wargames Society No. 290 – DECEMBER 2018 Extract from President Roosevelt’s, “Fireside Chat to the Nation”, 29 December 1940: “….we cannot escape danger by crawling into bed and pulling the covers over our heads……if Britain should go down, all of us in the Americas would be living at the point of a gun……We must produce arms and ships with every energy and resource we can command……We must be the great arsenal of democracy”. oOoOoOoOoOoOoOo The Poppies of four years ago at the Tower of London have been replaced by a display of lights. Just one of many commemorations around the World to mark one hundred years since the end of The Great War. Another major piece of art, formed a focal point as the UK commemorated 100 years since the end of the First World War. The ‘Shrouds of the Somme’ brought home the sheer scale of human sacrifice in the battle that came to epitomize the bloodshed of the 1914-18 war – the Battle of the Somme. Artist Rob Heard hand stitched and bound calico shrouds for 72,396 figures representing British Commonwealth servicemen killed at the Somme who have no known grave, many of whose bodies were never recovered and whose names are engraved on the Thiepval Memorial. Each figure of a human form, was individually shaped, shrouded and made to a name. They were laid out shoulder to shoulder in hundreds of rows to mark the Centenary of Armistice Day at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park from 8-18th November 2018 filling an area of over 4000 square metres.

    February 18, 2018 remembrance ni Ulster sailors killed at Anzio in Belfast- built Penelope ! On February 18, 1944 three Able Seamen and a Petty Officer from Northern Ireland died in HMS Penelope which was torpedoed near Anzio. They were Thomas Gould from Belfast, Kenneth Hewitt from Londondery, William Hunter from Ballyclare and Samuel Taylor from Dundrod. 418 members of the ship’s company of 650, including the captain DG Belben. A Lance Bombardier from Londonderry in the Royal Artillery was killed at Anzio the previous day. Page !1 February 18, 2018 The Belfast-built ship had been attacked so often she was nicknames HMS Pepperpot. One of the survivors, Jack Clark, a Royal marine musician, was a gunnery operator in the transmitting station on Penelope. He recalled his experience to the BBC. “Having taken part in actions in the North Africa campaign, Sicily, Italy and Aegean we were engaged in the bombardment of enemy positions relating to the beachhead at Anzio. Having bombarded for approximately two weeks we were becoming short of fuel and ammunition. On the 17th February 1944 we left during the late evening and returned to Naples to replenish supplies of the aforementioned. Captain Belben had completed our tour of duty and was expected to give us a well-earned 24-hour rest period, the custom when conditions permitted. “As we anchored in the bay of Naples at 22:00 captain Belben received a signal ordering him to prepare for sea immediately and return to Anzio to take the place of HMS Dido, which had been in collision with a landing craft in Naples bay.

    History of the Royal Marines 1837-1914 HE Blumberg (Minor editing by Alastair Donald) In preparing this Record I have consulted, wherever possible, the original reports, Battalion War and other Diaries, accounts in Globe and Laurel, etc. The War Office Official Accounts, where extant, the London Gazettes, and Orders in Council have been taken as the basis of events recounted, and I have made free use of the standard histories, eg History of the British Army (Fortescue), History of the Navy (Laird Clowes), Britain's Sea Soldiers (Field), etc. Also the Lives of Admirals and Generals bearing on the campaigns. The authorities consulted have been quoted for each campaign, in order that those desirous of making a fuller study can do so. I have made no pretence of writing a history or making comments, but I have tried to place on record all facts which can show the development of the Corps through the Nineteenth and early part of the Twentieth Centuries. H E BLUMBERG Devonport January, 1934 1 P A R T I 1837 – 1839 The Long Peace On 20 June, 1837, Her Majesty Queen Victoria ascended the Throne and commenced the long reign which was to bring such glory and honour to England, but the year found the fortunes of the Corps at a very low ebb. The numbers voted were 9007, but the RM Artillery had officially ceased to exist - a School of Laboratory and nominally two companies quartered at Fort Cumberland as part of the Portsmouth Division only being maintained. The Portsmouth Division were still in the old inadequate Clarence Barracks in the High Street; Plymouth and Chatham were in their present barracks, which had not then been enlarged to their present size, and Woolwich were in the western part of the Royal Artillery Barracks.
