This is a unique and comprehensive summary of world wide development in this field. It is probably not realised what a vital part closed circuit breathing apparatus played in World War II. Apart from escapes from damaged and sunken submarines by means of the DSEA, and the special attacks on ships by human torpedoes and X-craft, including the mortal damage to the "Tirpitz", an important part of the invasion forces were the landing craft obstruction clearance units. These were special teams of frogmen in oxygen breathing sets who placed demolition charges on the formidable underwater obstructions along the north coast of France.

  • Emilio Bianchi” Launched
    THE TENTH MULTIPURPOSE FRIGATE “EMILIO BIANCHI” LAUNCHED It is the last unit of the Italo-French FREMM program Trieste, January 25, 2020 – The launching ceremony of the “Emilio Bianchi” frigate, the tenth and last FREMM vessel – Multi Mission European Frigates, took place today at the integrated shipyard of Riva Trigoso (Genoa) in the presence of the Italian Minister of Defence, Lorenzo Guerini. The 10 vessels have been commissioned to Fincantieri by the Italian Navy within the framework of an Italo-French cooperation program under the coordination of OCCAR (Organisation Conjointe de Cooperation sur l’Armement, the international organization for cooperation on arms). Godmother of the ceremony was Mrs. Maria Elisabetta Bianchi, first daughter of Emilio Bianchi, Golden Medal for Military Value. For Fincantieri the President Giampiero Massolo welcome, on behalf of the Chief of Defence, General Enzo Vecciarelli, the Chief of Staff of the Italian Navy, Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone, the Governor of the Liguria Region Giovanni Toti, in addition to a number of authorities. After the launching, fitting activities will continue in the integrated naval shipyard of Muggiano (La Spezia), with delivery scheduled in 2021. The “Emilio Bianchi” vessel, like the other units, will feature a high degree of flexibility, capable of operating in all tactical situations. 144 metres long with a beam of 19.7 metres, the ship will have a displacement at full load of approximately 6,700 tonnes. The vessel will have a maximum speed of over 27 knots and will have a maximum accommodation capacity for a 200-person crew. The FREMM program, representing the European and Italian defence state of the art, stems from the renewal need of the Italian Navy line “Lupo” (already removed) and “Maestrale” (some of them already decommissioned, the remaining close to the attainment of operational limit) class frigates, both built by Fincantieri in the 1970s.

  • Los Medios De Asalto Italianos En La Segunda Guerra Mundial
    LOS MEDIOS DE ASALTO ITALIANOS EN LA SEGUNDA GUERRA MUNDIAL Salvatore FRANCIA Origen de los medios de asalto italianos L nacimiento de los medios de asalto italianos tuvo lugar en la Primera Guerra Mundial, cuando la particular situa- ción geoestratégica llevó a la Marina Militar italiana a estudiar cómo podía atacar la flota austro-húngara en sus bases, ya que no existía otra posibilidad de enfrentarse a aquélla en combates decisivos. El primer sistema importante fue el MAS (Motoscafo Armato Silurante), una lancha motora armada con torpe- dos, que en principio usaba motores eléctricos para no llamar la atención del enemigo. Pero, tras la sorpresa inicial, los austríacos comenzaron a proteger sus puertos con redes. Para la aparición de los verdaderos medios de asalto hay que esperar a la mitad del año 1917, cuando al ingeniero Attilio Bisio, director del astillero SVAN en Venecia y creador de los primeros MAS, se le encargó idear un nuevo medio con el que poder superar las redes de protección de las bases enemigas, en particular las de Pola. Los experimentos y pruebas duraron todo el año 1917, hasta que finalmente se encontró un medio idóneo y se constru- yeron cuatro unidades (Grillo-Cavaletta-Locusta-Pulce) (Grillo-Saltamontes- Saltón-Pulga), que quedaron listas para su uso en 1918. Con motores eléctri- cos, cadenas para superar obstáculos, dos torpedos y cuatro hombres de tripulación, se realizaron las primeras incursiones en abril y mayo de 1918 con el intento de cuatro misiones contra Pola. Pero debido a retrasos y acci- dentes en el transcurso de la navegación y la aproximación hubieron de ser interrumpidas.

  • COVID Mini Edition No.10
    NUNAWADING MILITARY HISTORY GROUP MINI NEWSLETTER No. 10 Australia Will Need to Develop its Own Space Force Australia’s ongoing Defence planning review, culminating in a new Force Posture Review and eventually a new Defence White Paper, will have to factor in one major domain: space. And while many criti- cised America’s creation of the Space Force, the growing tactical and strategic dependence on the do- main means Australia’s own Space Force should be a top priority. It’s 2020, all of Australia’s multibillion-dollar advanced weapons systems and capabilities are relying on secure tactical communication technologies to function and deliver the joint military effect, none of which would be pos- sible without utilising and controlling the space domain. With the battlefield of tomorrow driven and controlled by communications and information, it is vital to know the impact an aggressor would have should these assets be disabled in a conflict. Why space matters to Defence The general public often forgets the importance of space in their everyday lives. The ubiquitous GPS (global positioning system) is a satellite system that provides precise position, navigation and timing capabilities to our iPhones, fitness devices and general satellite navigation products. GPS satellites also provide our Defence Force with the capability to pinpoint enemy locations, aid in search and rescue missions, even to find shelter for troops under fire. In fact, every mobile or kinetic system, including pre- cision guided weapons, relies on GPS to accurately navigate to fixed targets. Meanwhile, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) satellites – often referred to as “spy” satellites – inform Defence and Intelligence communities of concerning developments in urban environments or on the battlefield.

  • Gli Eroi Di Alessandria
    GLI EROI DI ALESSANDRIA GLI EROI DELL'IMPRESA DI ALESSANDRIA L'attacco ad Alessandria (18 - 19 dicembre 1941) « ...sei Italiani equipaggiati con materiali di costo irrisorio hanno fatto vacillare l'equilibrio militare in Mediterraneo» a vantaggio dell'Asse. ( Wiston Churchill ) Luigi Durand de la Penne ed altri cinque eroi hanno affondato le navi inglesi Valiant e Queen Elizabeth . La loro impresa é passata alla storia per audacia, coraggio e grande sangue freddo. Si servirono di tre S.L.C. (siluri a lenta corsa) trasportati dal sommergibile-appoggio Scirè comandato dal Capitano di Fregata J.V. BORGHESE che fu anche l’ideatore dell’Operazione G.A.3. 1 / 22 GLI EROI DI ALESSANDRIA CHI ERANO? Luigi Durand de la Penne - Tenente di Vascello Medaglia d'oro al Valor Militare “Ufficiale coraggioso e tenace, temprato nello spirito e nel fisico da un duro e pericoloso addestramento, dopo aver mostrato, in due generosi tentativi, alto senso del dovere e di iniziativa, forzava, al comando di una spedizione di mezzi d'assalto subacquei, una delle più potenti e difese basi navali avversarie, con una azione in cui concezione operativa ed esecuzione pratica si armonizzavano splendidamente col freddo coraggio e con l'abnegazione degli uomini. Dopo aver avanzato per più miglia sott'acqua e superando difficoltà ed ostacoli di ogni genere fino all'esaurimento di tutte le sue forze, disponeva la carica sotto una nave da battaglia nemica a bordo della quale veniva poi tratto esausto. Conscio di dover condividere l'immancabile sorte di coloro che lo tenevano prigioniero, si rifiutava di dare ogni indicazione sul pericolo imminente e serenamente attendeva la fine, deciso a non compromettere l'esito della dura missione.

Dr. Humberto de Oliveira opened the festivities by welcoming all of the gathered societies, and between the main course and dessert, each nation’s society’s representative was asked to say a few words. There was an exchange of tokens of appreciation from the gathered societies to the Portuguese society, some of which were quite humorous. Dr. de Oliveira presented each chapter with the Portuguese Academy’s journal that contained many excellent articles and illustrations in Portuguese with summaries in French and English at the end of the journal.
