Garry E. Hall as commander of Combined Task Force (CTF) 158 during a ceremony at Naval Support Activity Bahrain Sept. 27. Command of CTF 158 typically rotates among coalition partners Australia, United Kingdom and the United States. CTF 158 is comprised of coalition ships and its primary mission in the Persian Gulf is Maritime Security Operations (MSO) in and around both the Al Basrah and Khawr Al Amaya Oil Terminals (ABOT and KAAOT, respectively), in support of U.N. Security Council Resolution 1723. This resolution charges the multinational force with the responsibility and authority to maintain security and stability in Iraqi territorial waters and also supports the Iraqi government's request for security support. Additionally, under the training and leadership of CTF 158, Iraqi marines aboard ABOT and KAAOT train with the coalition in order to eventually assume responsibility for security. “I am honored to have been in command of this task force,” said Hall. “The coalition forces have done an excellent job of providing security to the oil platforms and training the Iraqi forces.” “I am very proud of the coalition forces and my staff in supporting the CTF 158 mission,” said Capt.

  • CALL the HANDS OCCASIONAL PAPER 9 Issue No
    CALL THE HANDS OCCASIONAL PAPER 9 Issue No. 9 July 2017 THE SINKING OF HMAS ARMIDALE ON 1st DECEMBER 1942 The following address was delivered by Dr Kevin Smith OAM to members of the Naval Historical Society of Australia in Sydney 18 April 2017. In 1798 at the Battle of the Nile, the French flagship “L’ORIENT” gravely disabled His Majesty’s Ship BELLEROPHON (known to her crew as the “Billy Ruffian”). Immediately a pack of other British vessels concentrated their attack upon L’ORIENT. A flagship carries the commander of a fleet, and bears the commander’s flag. Amid the wreck and carnage of battle the French admiral’s thirteen year old son stood bravely to his post awaiting his father’s permission to leave. The boy, Louis de Casabianca, died at his post when L’ORIENT’s magazine exploded. In 1829, a whole generation later, Felicia Hermans wrote her poem “Casabianca”, beginning with the words: “The boy stood on the burning deck Whence all but he had fled. The flame that lit the battle’s wreck Shone round him o’er the dead.” Every Australian schoolboy growing up in the 1920s and 1930s, a century later still, heard about or occasionally even read that poem, although very few of us ever remembered any of the details. Many impressionable young minds, however, absorbed its powerful message. Young Edward Sheean growing up amid the green farmlands and forests of Barrington south of Ulverstone in Tasmania, was one of those who almost certainly would have known the first line of this poem.

    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.
