I am delighted to have this opportunity to write a few words for The Navy", especially at this time of Navy Week. Whilst I realise that many readers of "The Navy" appreciate fully the need for a Navy, there may be some who do not and, for the latter, I would like to try and briefly illustrate the need in terms of insurance. Most responsible people today carry insurance in order to protect them- selves and their family or their property against certain risks The size of the premium depends upon the risk involved ond the protection required. If. happily, no claims are made then the premium can be examined, but if many claims are made or the cover is inadequate then the policy holder can be ;n trouble. This analogy is readily applicable to the Navy (and I cannot do better than paraphrasing part of the introduction to the Naval Discipline Act) whereon, under the good Providence of God, the wealth, safety and strength of Aus tralia so much depends. I would ask all who believe in the need, to explain it to others who aie less informed. In this manner we can play our part in ensuring the maritime safety of our country. Reward your shipmates with Scottish Cream Scotch Whisky- everybody goes overboard for it. At all good bottle departments. OUR COVER MORE POWER FOR THE NAVY —H.MAS. OXLEY ARRIVES R.A.N.

This month, the third, HMAS 8RISBANE, will reach Australia to take up duties with the fleet. Her sister ships, HMAS PERTH and HMAS HOBART, have already shown their fighting prowess in Vietnam, earning high praise from the Americans for accurate gunnery and the general efficiency of the ships.

    From the President Welcome to this edition of Call the Hands, our last in the Society’s 50th anniversary year. It includes a variety of short articles which are connected through various themes including the RAN’s first ship, HMAS Parramatta (I) and her namesakes. Another connection is the shared anniversary of the Naval Association of Australia (NAA) celebrating its 100th anniversary. Accordingly, we acknowledge our many readers who are members of the NAA. Their service in the RAN (past and present) has contributed to the history of Australia’s great Navy. The Society’s close connection with Parramatta (I) stems from the not insignificant project to recover her bow and stern sections from a Hawksbury River mudflat. These sections are now prominently displayed in Sydney. Additional information about this fascinating project recently came to light and has been published in the December Naval Historical Review now being distributed to members. We also feature a recent NAA commemorative service for HMAS Parramatta (II) and recognition of the commissioning commanding officer of HMAS Parramatta (III), Rear Admiral Guy Griffiths RAN, Rtd. Many interesting and sometimes obscure naval stories remain untold. Occasional paper 97 is a good example. It is the story of a small party of sailors landed in Arnhem Land from HMAS Fremantle (I) in 1958 to observe Japanese pearl fishing operations. This story was shared by Eric Deshon with Australian National Maritime Museum’s oral history volunteers and published in the ANMM’s volunteer newsletter ‘All Hands’ in June 2018. Recording historic events on canvas has been a traditional art form which continues today.

However, it wasn’t until 1776 that the first submarine to make an attack on an enemy ship was built. Named the Turtle, it was designed by David Bushnell and was built with the intention of breaking the British of the submarine naval blockade in New York Harbor during the American Revolution. Operated by Sergeant Ezra Lee, the Turtle made an unsuccessful attack on a British ship on 7 September 1776. Several more submarines were attempted over the years, but it wasn’t until the beginning of the 20th century that modern day submarine warfare was born. At the start of World War I, submarines were still in their infancy. Considered to be ‘unethical’ and not fitting into the conventional rules of war, few foresaw the watershed in naval warfare that submarines were to bring about. Once their true capabilities were realised, submarines had a substantial impact on World War I: sinking ships, laying mines, blockading ports and providing escorts to trans-Atlantic convoys. During World War II, submarine technology advanced significantly. The Germans, who were operating U-Boats in the Atlantic Ocean, developed the ‘snorkel’ (allowing the boat to recharge its batteries while staying submerged).

  • TRANSITIONING INDUSTRY to a MULTI-CLASS SUBMARINE FLEET Submarine Institute of Australia Conference Paper NOVEMBER 2016 | CANBERRA
    TRANSITIONING INDUSTRY TO A MULTI-CLASS SUBMARINE FLEET Submarine Institute of Australia Conference Paper NOVEMBER 2016 | CANBERRA www.asc.com.au ABSTRACT This paper presents an industry perspective on transitioning between two classes of submarines, including reflecting on the transition from the Oberon to the Collins class submarines and more recently implementing the Coles review recommendations. The evolution of the Australian submarine industry’s position is contrasted with where it is today at the start of the Future Submarine Program to support both its build and sustainment. Australian industry is in a strong position to capitalise and build on past investments for the benefit of the Future Submarine Program. INTRODUCTION It is apt to contemplate our submarine history at the start of the concept design phase of Australia’s 12 future submarines and in preparation for operating a multi-class submarine fleet. The notion that Australia requires a 12-submarine fleet was first mentioned in Admiral Sir Reginald Henderson’s March 1911 report to the Australian Government after it requested advice on naval defence matters. His recommendations on naval vessels and bases were beyond Australia’s means at the time and in 1912 the Government of Prime Minister Andrew Fisher commenced planning to implement his recommendations, in stages, after accepting the general outline. However, this plan was abandoned due to the outbreak of World War I in late July 1914, relegating Henderson’s recommendations to history (Jeremy, 1995). Now, more than a century later, another decision to acquire 12 submarines has been made.

    CALL THE HANDS NHSA DIGITAL NEWSLETTER Issue No.12 September 2017 From the President Call the Hands is now a year old. During the year it has evolved in terms of size and content. The most pleasing feature of which is the ‘readers forum’ which continues to grow. The comments, information and stories provided by you, our readers are highly valued and makes CTH a people focused newsletter. Naval history is multi-faceted in that it is not possible to write about ships, submarines and aircraft without including the people who operate them, maintain them and provide essential support services. We really appreciate receiving historical information and stories on non-mainstream issues. A classic example was the role played by Navy bandsmen posted to RAN Cruisers. At sea Bandsmen were part of the Gunnery Department. Having undertaken a special fire control course, they were employed manning the Transmitting Station (TS) day and night. Here they assembled all the details needed for the guns to fire accurately. They were a vital part of the Gunnery Department. The story of a Bandsman’s World War 2 experiences is the subject of a Society monograph. Our collection of 95 monographs are available for sale. Interested readers can e-mail the Society for a copy. With the launch of our new website in the coming months, the monographs and other products will be available for sale through our on-line shop. With our new website, move to e-commerce and a new format Call the Hands (HTML) in the coming months, ‘privacy’ has been a key consideration.
