Our guest speaker was LCDR Anne Mena, XO at HMAS Moreton, who enter- tained us with tales of her Navy career. The camaraderie which is one of the four pillars of our parent organisation, the Naval Association, was on display in a big way.

Helen Yench, who is also State Secretary of the Naval Association, presented Long Service Certificates to those of the following who were in attendance at the luncheon.

    Senate Economics References Committee’s inquiry into the future of Australia’s naval shipbuilding industry Queensland Government response February 2017 Executive summary The Queensland Government welcomes the Senate Economics References Committee’s inquiry into the future sustainability of Australia’s strategically vital naval shipbuilding industry (the inquiry), and identifies a strong ability and capacity to contribute effectively to this sector. Increasingly, Queensland is recognised as the ‘go-to’ state for defence (and other security service provision). Queensland’s defence industry supports more than 6500 full time equivalent jobs. In 2015–16, $3.8 billion in defence contracts were awarded to Queensland-based companies (an increase of $200 million from the previous financial year). The Queensland Government understands there are significant economic and industry development opportunities through the: development of contracts relating to naval ship and submarine building design, management and implementation of naval shipbuilding and submarine defence procurement projects in Queensland utilisation of local content and supply chains integration of offshore work and supply chains in Queensland driving of innovation, improving workforce and business skills and building on our competitive advantages to ensure Queensland remains an attractive investment destination.

  • Putting the 'War' Back Into Minor War Vessels: Utilising the Arafura Class
    Tac Talks Issue: 18 | 2021 Putting the ‘War’ back into Minor War Vessels: utilising the Arafura Class to reinvigorate high intensity warfighting in the Patrol Force By LEUT Brett Willis Tac Talks © Commonwealth of Australia 2021 This work is copyright.

Tac Talks Introduction It is a curious statistic of the First World War that more sailors and officers were killed in action on Minor War Vessels than on Major Fleet Units in all navies involved in the conflict. For a war synonymous with the Dreadnought arms race and the clash of Battleships at Jutland the gunboats of the Edwardian age proved to be the predominant weapon of naval warfare. These vessels, largely charged with constabulary duties pre-war, were quickly pressed into combat and played a critical role in a number of theatres rarely visited in the histories of WWI. I draw attention to this deliberately for the purpose of this article is to advocate for the exploitation of the current moment of change in the RAN Patrol Boat Group and configure it to better confront the very real possibility of a constabulary force being pressed into combat. This article will demonstrate that prior planning & training will create a lethal Patrol Group that poses a credible threat to all surface combatants by integrating guided weapons onto the Arafura Class.
