The victory of the United States and its Western Allies in the unfought war with the Soviet Union heralded a new era in which navies could forsake many of the demands of Photo: author preparing for high intensity warfare. 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. Fleets became focused on collabora- tive global stabilisation far from home and structured their assets accordingly. Perhaps the most extreme example of this trend has been the German Navy’s F125 BADEN-WÜRTTEMBERG class frig- ates – hugely sophisticated and expensive ships designed to prevail only in lower threat environments. -
Inquiry Into Strengthening Australia's Relationships with Countries in The
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. -
CHAPTER XIX the Capture of Hiio11t St. Quentin and Psronne Is Held By
CHAPTER XIX THE HINDENBURG OUTPOST-LINE THEcapture of hiIo11t St. Quentin and PSronne is held by many Australian soldiers to be the most brilliant achievement of the A.1.F.l Among the operations planned by Monash it stands out as one of movement rather than a set piece; indeed within Australian experience of the Western Front it was the only important fight in which quick, free manoeuvre played a decisive part. It furnishes a complete answer to the comment that Monash was merely a composer of set pieces. But Monash himself realised that it was also largely a soldiers’ battle. Monash passed four brigades under the enemy’s nose round the bend of the Somme, with all his invariable care in plan- ning, supplying and bridging. But what an instrument was to his hand! The picture given in the histories of some German regiments of their slender, exhausted remnants being over- . whelmed by masses of fresh troops is sheer propaganda. The 2nd and 3rd Divisions at least, with companies depleted to the German level, weary with-in soiiie cases-incredibly pro- tracted effort, and without normal artillery support, constantly attacked more than their number of Germans in strong, well wired positions and captured more prisoners than they could safely hold. The tactics were necessarily left largely to divisional, brigade, battalion and even platoon commanaers , they were sometimes brilliant and sometimes faulty, but in general the dash, intelligence, and persistence of the troops dealt a stunning blow to five German divisions, drove the enemy from one of his key positions in France, and took 1 Gen. -

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. -

OPERATIONS on NEW BRITAIN on the Island of New Britain in August
CHAPTER 1 0 OPERATIONS ON NEW BRITAIN N the island of New Britain in August 1944 there existed the sam e O kind of tacit truce as on Bougainville and the New Guinea mainland . In each area American garrisons guarded their air bases, the main Japanes e forces had been withdrawn to areas remote from the American ones, and , in the intervening no-man's land, Allied patrols, mostly of Australian-le d natives, waged a sporadic guerilla war against Japanese outposts an d patrols . In August 1944 one American regimental combat team was statione d in the Talasea-Cape Hoskins area on the north coast, one battalion group at Arawe on the south, and the remainder of the 40th Division, from whic h these groups were drawn, round Cape Gloucester at the western extremity . The main body of the Japanese army of New Britain—then believed t o be about 38,000 strong (actually about 93,000)—was concentrated i n the Gazelle Peninsula, but there were coastwatching stations farther west . In the middle area—about one-third of the island—field parties directe d by the Allied Intelligence Bureau were moving about, collecting informa- tion, helping the natives and winning their support, and harassing the enem y either by direct attack or by calling down air strikes . New Britain is some 320 miles in length and generally about 50 mile s in width, with a mountain spine rising steeply to 8,000 feet . On the south the coastal strip is generally narrow, but suitable landing places are fairl y frequent. -
