Overseas the Mediterranean, Alaska, UK and now the USA have many cruises underway, some being test cruises. Cruise companies have released plans of where their ship will be. Both NCL’s Norwegian Prima – page 14 RCI and Dream Cruises have had to reduce their operations out of Singapore because of Covid, however they are still cruising. Both companies have announced P&O UK’s Iona – page 12 plans for cruising from Hong Kong. As you read this edition there is the possibility that some of these cruise plans may have altered in this ever changing environment – last issue we published the world wide planned schedules of the cruise lines. Some are underway, others cancelled. Cruising Underway Editors Say – page 3 No doubt it is very encouraging that progress is being made. Featuring a comprehensive coverage of Global Cruising www.cruisingnews.com 1 for Cruise Passengers, the Trade and the Industry www.cruisingnews.com Australia and New Zealand are awaiting positive signs for the return of the “big Front Cover – Photo from Holland America, ships” to the region.

TT Line Next Generation . 22 CLIA Managing Director Australasia Joel Katz said the Ready, Set, Sail campaign aimed to reinforce the cruise industry’s lobbying efforts and highlight the impact the cruise suspension has had on thousands of Australian businesses and workers. Mr Katz said. “More than 18,000 jobs are in jeopardy and thousands of local businesses are at serious risk. The suspension of cruising has already cost Australians more than $5 billion and we can’t stem further losses without government action.” “The personal messages of Australian supporters would help demonstrate the extent of community backing for cruising and the number of people whose livelihoods are at risk. This would reinforce the ongoing discussions taking place between CLIA and governments as the industry works towards revival” Mr Katz Pacific Dawn Saved said. 10 CLIA and its cruise line members are calling for governments to agree upon a detailed framework for cruising’s resumption, backed by the industry’s extensive new global health protocols. The cruise industry is pushing for the implementation of these measures as part of a phased resumption that begins with domestic cruising for Australians only, within an Australian bubble.

  • FROM CRADLE to GRAVE? the Place of the Aircraft
    FROM CRADLE TO GRAVE? The Place of the Aircraft Carrier in Australia's post-war Defence Force Subthesis submitted for the degree of MASTER OF DEFENCE STUDIES at the University College The University of New South Wales Australian Defence Force Academy 1996 by ALLAN DU TOIT ACADEMY LIBRARy UNSW AT ADFA 437104 HMAS Melbourne, 1973. Trackers are parked to port and Skyhawks to starboard Declaration by Candidate I hereby declare that this submission is my own work and that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, it contains no material previously published or written by another person nor material which to a substantial extent has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma of a university or other institute of higher learning, except where due acknowledgment is made in the text of the thesis. Allan du Toit Canberra, October 1996 Ill Abstract This subthesis sets out to study the place of the aircraft carrier in Australia's post-war defence force. Few changes in naval warfare have been as all embracing as the role played by the aircraft carrier, which is, without doubt, the most impressive, and at the same time the most controversial, manifestation of sea power. From 1948 until 1983 the aircraft carrier formed a significant component of the Australian Defence Force and the place of an aircraft carrier in defence strategy and the force structure seemed relatively secure. Although cost, especially in comparison to, and in competition with, other major defence projects, was probably the major issue in the demise of the aircraft carrier and an organic fixed-wing naval air capability in the Australian Defence Force, cost alone can obscure the ftindamental reordering of Australia's defence posture and strategic thinking, which significantly contributed to the decision not to replace HMAS Melbourne.

    TOTALITY! eclipse travel adventures The Diamond Ring at C2, showing the Diamond Ring Effect in Svalbard, but unlike the usual images where most observers were, this image was taken by Deidre Sorensen in a rather isolated location away from most other eclipse chasers where the still of the location could best be appreciated. © Deidre Sorensen and used by permission / [email protected] / http://www.deidresorensen.com/#!/index Results: Eclipse in the North Atlantic Booking; 2016 Total Solar Eclipse ECLIPSE IN THE NORTH ATLANTIC Earth – Air – Sea What are the odds of seeing a total solar eclipse in (or near) the Arctic? The answer is very low since the Arctic is quite often overcast. But nothing stops a serious eclipse chaser, even if the chances of seeing the eclipse are slim. Today’s eclipse chasers manage to travel nearly anywhere in the world to some of the most remote locations, viewing eclipses from land (or ice), on the ocean, on mountain tops, or high in the air aboard a jet aircraft. So for the 2015 total eclipse with the weather conditions expected to be marginal from land, eclipse viewing took to all types of viewing locations; on the land, on the sea and in the skies. I am certain that everyone that traveled to the eclipse has a great story (mine will be shared shortly), whether it was clear, or cloudy. For this eclipse only two land areas lay under the path of totality, with the centerline passing over just one. If you were selecting eclipses that had a high probability of clear skies, you would not have picked the one of 20 March 2015.
