    We Envy No Man on Earth Because We Fly. the Australian Fleet Air

    We Envy No Man On Earth Because We Fly. The Australian Fleet Air Arm: A Comparative Operational Study. This thesis is presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Murdoch University 2016 Sharron Lee Spargo BA (Hons) Murdoch University I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. …………………………………………………………………………….. Abstract This thesis examines a small component of the Australian Navy, the Fleet Air Arm. Naval aviators have been contributing to Australian military history since 1914 but they remain relatively unheard of in the wider community and in some instances, in Australian military circles. Aviation within the maritime environment was, and remains, a versatile weapon in any modern navy but the struggle to initiate an aviation branch within the Royal Australian Navy was a protracted one. Finally coming into existence in 1947, the Australian Fleet Air Arm operated from the largest of all naval vessels in the post battle ship era; aircraft carriers. HMAS Albatross, Sydney, Vengeance and Melbourne carried, operated and fully maintained various fixed-wing aircraft and the naval personnel needed for operational deployments until 1982. These deployments included contributions to national and multinational combat, peacekeeping and humanitarian operations. With the Australian government’s decision not to replace the last of the aging aircraft carriers, HMAS Melbourne, in 1982, the survival of the Australian Fleet Air Arm, and its highly trained personnel, was in grave doubt. This was a major turning point for Australian Naval Aviation; these versatile flyers and the maintenance and technical crews who supported them retrained on rotary aircraft, or helicopters, and adapted to flight operations utilising small compact ships.

Helping to ensure the security of the maritime shipping networks that continue to dominate global trade and the vast resources of emerging EEZs from asymmetric challenges arguably became many navies’ primary raison d’être.

    1/11 Home Parliamentary Business Committees Joint Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade Inquiry into Strengthening Australia’s Relationships with Countries in the Pacific region March 2020 Submission by Neil Baird PhD Proposal for a Pacific Safe Ferry Project: Similar to the Pacific Patrol Boat Scheme Contact: Dr Neil Baird Email: Phone: 2/11 Proposal for a Pacific Safe Ferry Project THE PROPONENT: Neil Baird is a semi-retired publisher of international maritime trade magazines, books and a website and organiser of maritime trade exhibitions globally (See: www.bairdmaritime.com). From 2015 to 2017 he completed a PhD at the Australian National Centre for Ocean Research and Security at the University of Wollongong. The title of his thesis was “Fatal Ferry Accidents, Their Causes and Prevention”. This work arose from a more than thirty-year study of passenger vessel accidents and extensive published writing on that subject of which he is widely known as one of the world’s leading experts.. Arising from his doctoral research, Dr Baird has completed several projects with INTERFERRY (www.interferry.org) , the international trade association of ferry owners, mainly through its associated FerrySafe project. He has presented to and worked with the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and other international bodies such as the China Maritime Safety Administration. At a Pacific Islands Forum/IMO conference in Port Moresby in April 2018 he developed the Pacific Safe Ferry Project idea. It was discussed there with all delegates, who unanimously liked the idea. The New Zealand delegates took the idea back to their government, which has already acted on it, see article on Te Kaniva attached.

    Issue No.32 July 2019 From the President Welcome to this 33rd edition of Call the Hands and Occasional Papers 60 and 61. Occasional Paper 61 about the service life of Able Seaman Panos George Livery during WW2 can be accessed via the Society’s website. It was too large for attachment to the covering e-mail. The website Research page where Occasional pages are posted also provides access to more than 2,000 stories previously published by the Society. Readers can search by selecting a category or key word. On 22 July it was pleasure to attend the presentation evening conducted by the Society's Chapter in Melbourne. A warm welcome by VP John Redman, Marty Grogan and other Committee members in the absence of President Rex Williams was very much appreciated as was the opportunity to meet many of our Victorian members. We wish Rex who was laid low in hospital a speedy recovery. The main reason for the visit was to present first prize for our essay competition on autonomous ships won by Lieutenant Mario de Angelis. Mario's excellent essay which addressed the many considerations associated with development of autonomous vessels; technical, operational and regulatory was published in the June 2019 edition of the Naval Historical Review. Congratulations Mario and thanks to the Chatswood RSL Club for its generous support. Attendance at Society presentation evenings conducted in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, and Canberra are not only an opportunity to hear interesting presentations but to socialize with many other like-minded members and friends. Details of coming events which are pen to all are available on the Society's website home page.

    First Passenger Ferry to Receive Cummins QSK95 Propulsion Power

    CONTACT: Andy Kelly Cummins Inc. 854 529 4872 [email protected] For Immediate Release March 15, 2018 First Passenger Ferry to Receive Cummins QSK95 Propulsion Power CHARLESTON, SC (March 14, 2018) – Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) announced today that Azam Marine has selected two QSK95 propulsion engines to provide main propulsion power for their next passenger ferry, making Kilimanjaro VII the first QSK95 powered passenger ferry in the world. “The QSK95 is a perfect fit for highly sophisticated vessels such as Kilimanjaro VII,” said Jim Schacht, Executive Director – Cummins Global Marine Business. “This product fully leverages Cummins unique experience with our in-house technologies such as turbo chargers, filtration and electronics delivering increased power and reliability, fast transient response and simple serviceability.” The QSK95 is the newest and most powerful Cummins engine for the marine market offering a power output previously exclusive to medium-speed marine engines with power ratings from 3200 hp to 4200 hp for propulsion, auxiliary, generator and diesel electric applications. The QSK95 brings the advantage of a lower capital cost, a more compact installation and exceptional fuel efficiency when compared to other engines in this class. Extended service and more cost-effective rebuilds add a further economic advantage for high-hour, hardworking vessels such as passenger transport, tugs, inland waterway towboats, crew boats, dredges and government patrol vessels. “Cummins has supported us well in the past, leading us to select the QSK95 for our newest and largest addition to the fleet.” Said Abubakar Aziz Salim, Managing Director – Azam Marine, “The unique engine design, high power density and available continuous-use power has allowed us to use a vessel design we are familiar with but expand its capability to carry more passengers.” Azam Marine and Coastal Fast Ferries operate passenger ferry boats between the islands of Zanzibar, Pemba and mainland Tanzania.
