  • CHIEF of NAVY AUSTRALIA Vice Admiral Michael Noonan, AO, RAN
    CHIEF OF NAVY AUSTRALIA Vice Admiral Michael Noonan, AO, RAN A professional head of the Australian Navy was formally established on 25 February 1904 when Captain (later Vice Admiral Sir) William Rooke Creswell, KCMG, RN, was appointed Director of the Commonwealth Naval Forces. Upon the granting of Royal Assent to establish the Royal Australian Navy on 10 July 1911, Creswell, by then a Rear Admiral, became the First Naval Member of the Australian Commonwealth Naval Board, a position he held until 9 June 1919. The first Australian born officer to hold the position was Tasmanian Vice Admiral Sir John Augustine Collins, KBE, CB, RAN. He held the position from February 1948 to February 1955. Vice Admiral Michael Noonan, AO, RAN joined the Royal Australian Navy in 1984, trained as a seaman officer and then subsequently completed Principal Warfare Officers course and specialised in Air Direction and Above Water Warfare. Throughout his career, he had experience in a wide range of Navy and ADF operations through various sea and shore posting and operational roles. Highlights have included deployments to the Middle East, Southern Ocean and being the Commissioning Commanding Officer of the Anzac class frigate HMAS Parramatta. He has fulfilled leadership positions at all levels of the Australian Defence Force, with senior positions including the Director of Military Strategic Commitments, Director General of Operations at HQJOC, Command of Maritime Border Command and Deputy Chief of Navy. In June 2018, he was appointed as an Officer of the Order of Australia in recognition of his distinguished service in significant senior ADF command roles.

  • Appendix: the Price of Victory
    Appendix: The Price of Victory According to official estimates and public statements, the War itself cost f800 million, replacement of eqmpment lost during the campaign cost f1172 million and the total capital costs incurred since 1982 have amounted to f2005 million (Figure A.2). The additional postwar defence costs will amount to almost B.6 billion over ten years (Figure A.1). A large amount of this expenditure has already been spent or committed, not only on the replacement of equipment but also on the building of a new strategic airfield at Mount Pleasant, 20 miles from Port Stanley, on the development of a military base, also at Mount Pleasant, to house the Islands' garrison, and on the related infrastructure facilities such as roads (almost non-existent outside the Islands' capital) and docks required for these developments (Figure A.1). But large capital expenditures remain outstanding together with the large running costs of the garrison. The postwar economic aid programme, including immediate rehabilitation and compensation of civilian losses and a six-year development plan, but excluding longer-term claims for compensation from the Islanders, totalled f51 million (Figure A.3). By 1992, therefore, the total expenditure on the War, on Fortress Falklands and on the economic aid extended to the Islands since 1982 will amount to at least f4.5 billion (Figure A.4, 1983-84 average prices). But this figure is almost certainly a large underestimate of the final cost which for various reasons is likely to be weil in excess of f5 billion. The f4.5 billion figure, for example, excludes a number of additional items of expenditure for which figures are not currently available or are difficult to estimate.

  • Vice Admiral Sir William CRESWELL KCMG
    Vice Admiral Sir William Rooke CRESWELL KCMG, KBE [1852 - 1933] Admiral Creswell is known as “The Father of the Royal Australian Navy” and was President of the Club in 1901 and 1903 1 Introduction Captain Creswell (as he was then) was the President of the United Service Club, Brisbane in 1901 and 1903. His is a remarkable story of service in the Royal Navy, a less-than-successful attempt as a pastoralist in Northern Australia before resuming uniformed service with the colonial naval forces. 1 Admiral Creswell’s multiple terms of office as President are explained by the following. Under the Club’s original 1892 “Rules” or “Constitution”, the Presidency of the Club alternated “as of right” between the senior Army and Naval Commanders in the Colony (and later the State) of Queensland. A separate elected position of “Chairman of Committee” also existed who, as implied by its name, actively managed the Club through its volunteer Committee Members – including Honorary Secretary and Treasurer. In 1910 the Rules were amended to reflect a governance model, which has essentially existed ever since, where the elected President chaired the Club Committee We thank the History Interest Group and other volunteers who have researched and prepared these Notes.
