  • 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.

  • Navy News Week 47-1
    NAVY NEWS WEEK 47-1 26 November 2017 Yemen’s Houthis threaten to attack warships, oil tankers if ports stay closed Yemen’s armed Houthi movement said on Sunday it could attack warships and oil tankers from enemy countries in retaliation against the closure of Yemeni ports by a Saudi-led military coalition last week Saudi Arabia has blamed the Iran- allied Houthis for firing a ballistic missile towards Riyadh airport on Nov 4. Two days later, the Saudi-led coalition responded by closing access to Yemeni ports, saying this was needed to stop arms reaching the Houthis. The United Nations says the closure could cause a famine in Yemen that could kill millions of people if ports are not reopened. “The battleships and oil tankers of the aggression and their movements will not be safe from the fire of Yemeni naval forces if they are directed by the senior leadership (to attack),” the Houthis’ official media outlet Al Masirah said on its website, citing a military commander. Yemen lies beside the southern mouth of the Red Sea, one of the most important trade routes in the world for oil tankers, which pass near Yemen’s shores while heading from the Middle East through the Suez Canal to Europe. The Houthis, fighters drawn mainly from Yemen’s Zaidi Shi‘ite minority and allied to long-serving former president Ali Abdullah Saleh, control much of Yemen including the capital San‘aa. The Saudi-led military alliance is fighting in support of the internationally recognised government of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, who is based in the southern port of Aden.

    NAV0038 Written evidence submitted by Robert Clark House of Commons Defence Select Committee The Navy: purpose and procurement Robert Clark Research Fellow, Global Britain Programme Henry Jackson Society In order to help the remit of this inquiry, the evidence provided below will relate to two central facets which underpin the conceptual understanding of this topic. The first aspect which needs to be examined is what role the Navy should expect to have over the next 20 years. This can broadly be defined as ensuring both domestic and international security. As the Naval fleet increases in size due to recent increases in defence and naval spending, Global Britain will truly become a force for good on the global stage, helping to ensure maritime security in contested waters, whilst operating alongside allies and partners. In particular, the Carrier Strike Group 21 deployment will conduct freedom of navigation patrols across the contested South and East China Seas over the course of summer 2021, working alongside NATO and regional partners, including Australia and Japan, defending the rules-based system from authoritarian states who seek to control strategic waterways. This global commitment can be expected to continue long after the CSG21 deployment, but questions of sustainability will have to be addressed in order to meet this commitment which the government have set out in various documents.1 1https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/975077/ Global_Britain_in_a_Competitive_Age- _the_Integrated_Review_of_Security__Defence__Development_and_Foreign_Policy.pdf p.64 See also https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/chief-of-the-defence-staff-general-sir-nick-carter-launches-the- integrated-operating-concept 1 NAV0038 Following from this the second aspect will be to assess the threats and standing commitments the Navy is likely to face over the same period.

Political Background Since 2008, piracy of commercial shipping within the Somali region has escalated, finally coming to a head by the taking of the super tanker MV Sirius Star captured November 2008, 450 miles south-east of Mombasa, Kenya. Once taken it was sailed to an anchorage close to Hobyo, Somalia, a well known pirate camp area. This incident was of international concern especially as the Sirius Star (with 2 UK citizens in the crew) contained a quarter of Saudi Arabia’s daily output of oil and resulted in its price jumping to more than $1 a barrel.
