    Operation Kipion: Royal Navy Assets in the Persian by Claire Mills Gulf

    BRIEFING PAPER Number 8628, 6 January 2020 Operation Kipion: Royal Navy assets in the Persian By Claire Mills Gulf 1. Historical presence: the Armilla Patrol The UK has maintained a permanent naval presence in the Gulf region since October 1980, when the Armilla Patrol was established to ensure the safety of British entitled merchant ships operating in the region during the Iran-Iraq conflict. Initially the Royal Navy’s presence was focused solely in the Gulf of Oman. However, as the conflict wore on both nations began attacking each other’s oil facilities and oil tankers bound for their respective ports, in what became known as the “tanker war” (1984-1988). Kuwaiti vessels carrying Iraqi oil were particularly susceptible to Iranian attack and foreign-flagged merchant vessels were often caught in the crossfire.1 In response to a number of incidents involving British registered vessels, in October 1986 the Royal Navy began accompanying British-registered vessels through the Straits of Hormuz and in the Persian Gulf. Later the UK’s Armilla Patrol contributed to the Multinational Interception Force (MIF), a naval contingent patrolling the Persian Gulf to enforce the UN-mandated trade embargo against Iraq, imposed after its invasion of Kuwait in August1990.2 In the aftermath of the 2003 Iraq conflict, Royal Navy vessels, deployed as part of the Armilla Patrol, were heavily committed to providing maritime security in the region, the protection of Iraq’s oil infrastructure and to assisting in the training of Iraqi sailors and marines. 1.1 Assets The Type 42 destroyer HMS Coventry was the first vessel to be deployed as part of the Armilla Patrol, followed by RFA Olwen.

  • Frederick J. Krabbé, Last Man to See HMS Investigator Afloat, May 1854

    Frederick J. Krabbé, Last Man to See HMS Investigator Afloat, May 1854

    The Journal of the Hakluyt Society January 2017 Frederick J. Krabbé, last man to see HMS Investigator afloat, May 1854 William Barr1 and Glenn M. Stein2 Abstract Having ‘served his apprenticeship’ as Second Master on board HMS Assistance during Captain Horatio Austin’s expedition in search of the missing Franklin expedition in 1850–51, whereby he had made two quite impressive sledge trips, in the spring of 1852 Frederick John Krabbé was selected by Captain Leopold McClintock to serve under him as Master (navigation officer) on board the steam tender HMS Intrepid, part of Captain Sir Edward Belcher’s squadron, again searching for the Franklin expedition. After two winterings, the second off Cape Cockburn, southwest Bathurst Island, Krabbé was chosen by Captain Henry Kellett to lead a sledging party west to Mercy Bay, Banks Island, to check on the condition of HMS Investigator, abandoned by Commander Robert M’Clure, his officers and men, in the previous spring. Krabbé executed these orders and was thus the last person to see Investigator afloat. Since, following Belcher’s orders, Kellett had abandoned HMS Resolute and Intrepid, rather than their return journey ending near Cape Cockburn, Krabbé and his men had to continue for a further 140 nautical miles (260 km) to Beechey Island. This made the total length of their sledge trip 863½ nautical miles (1589 km), one of the longest man- hauled sledge trips in the history of the Arctic. Introduction On 22 July 2010 a party from the underwater archaeology division of Parks Canada flew into Mercy Bay in Aulavik National Park, on Banks Island, Northwest Territories – its mission to try to locate HMS Investigator, abandoned here by Commander Robert McClure in 1853.3 Two days later underwater archaeologists Ryan Harris and Jonathan Moore took to the water in a Zodiac to search the bay, towing a side-scan sonar towfish.
  • Commander MEJ Anderson Royal Navy

    Commander MEJ Anderson Royal Navy

    Commander M E J Anderson Royal Navy Commanding Officer HMS RICHMOND Commander Mark Anderson was born and educated in Belfast before gaining a degree in Physics from St Andrew’s University and entering the Royal Navy. Early appointments to the Hong Kong Squadron, West Indian Guard Ship and Northern Ireland Squadron were followed by an assignment to the Mine Hunter, HMS LEDBURY as Gunnery Officer, completing his time onboard as a Boarding Officer for the Fishery Protection Squadron. Anderson then joined the Amphibious Assault Ship, HMS OCEAN as Bosun. This included deployment to the Gulf as part of the international maritime response post the attacks of 9/11. Appointed to HMS SUTHERLAND as Navigating Officer in the summer of 2002, Anderson took the Ship from the refit sheds through Basic Operational Sea Training and then ultimately to and from the Persian Gulf as part of Operation TELIC and the War Against Terrorism. He returned to the UK in December 2003 to spend two months completing his Initial Command and Staff Course prior to an enjoyable assignment as Executive Officer, HMS MERSEY. A period of warfare training followed when Anderson specialized in Underwater Warfare. This then led to an assignment as Operations Officer of HMS KENT which included a demanding deployment to the Far East in support of UK counter terrorism policy and diplomacy. Anderson then undertook Advanced Anti-Submarine Warfare training for which he the won the Ogilvy medal as top student of 2008.

Just 4 weeks later, the regime was removed and most of Iraq was under coalition control. The success of the military campaign owed much to the determination and professionalism of the coalition’s Armed Forces and the civilians who supported them. I regret that, during the course of combat operations and subsequently, a number of Service personnel lost their lives. Their sacrifice will not be forgotten. The UK is playing a full part in the re-building of Iraq through the establishment of conditions for a stable and law-abiding Iraqi government. This process will not be easy after years of repression and neglect by a brutal regime. Our Armed Forces are performing a vital and dangerous role by contributing to the creation of a secure environment so that normal life can be resumed, and by working in support of humanitarian organisations to help the Iraqi people.
