Guns Blazing! Newsletter of the Naval Wargames Society No
All Guns Blazing! Newsletter of the Naval Wargames Society No. 290 – DECEMBER 2018 Extract from President Roosevelt’s, “Fireside Chat to the Nation”, 29 December 1940: “….we cannot escape danger by crawling into bed and pulling the covers over our heads……if Britain should go down, all of us in the Americas would be living at the point of a gun……We must produce arms and ships with every energy and resource we can command……We must be the great arsenal of democracy”. oOoOoOoOoOoOoOo The Poppies of four years ago at the Tower of London have been replaced by a display of lights. Just one of many commemorations around the World to mark one hundred years since the end of The Great War. Another major piece of art, formed a focal point as the UK commemorated 100 years since the end of the First World War. The ‘Shrouds of the Somme’ brought home the sheer scale of human sacrifice in the battle that came to epitomize the bloodshed of the 1914-18 war – the Battle of the Somme. Artist Rob Heard hand stitched and bound calico shrouds for 72,396 figures representing British Commonwealth servicemen killed at the Somme who have no known grave, many of whose bodies were never recovered and whose names are engraved on the Thiepval Memorial. Each figure of a human form, was individually shaped, shrouded and made to a name. They were laid out shoulder to shoulder in hundreds of rows to mark the Centenary of Armistice Day at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park from 8-18th November 2018 filling an area of over 4000 square metres. -

The SM-2 forms part of the Aegis ballistic-missile defense (BMD) program. In “A Double-Edged Sword: Ballistic-Missile Defense and U.S. Alli- ances,” Robert C. Watts IV explores the impact of BMD on America’s relationship with NATO, Japan, and South Korea, finding that the forward-deployed BMD capability that the Navy’s Aegis destroyers provide has served as an important cement to these beneficial alliance relationships. -

Lessons in Undersea and Surface Warfare from the Falkland Islands Conflict
Beyond the General Belgrano and Sheffield: Lessons in Undersea and Surface Warfare from the Falkland Islands Conflict MIDN 4/C Swartz Naval Science 2—Research Paper Instructor: CDR McComas 8 April 1998 1 Beyond the General Belgrano and Sheffield: Lessons in Undersea and Surface Warfare from the Falkland Islands Conflict 425 miles off the coast of Argentina lie the Falkland Islands, a string of sparsely inhabited shores home to about 1500 people and far more sheep. The Falklands (or the Malvinas, as the Argentineans call them) had been in dispute long before Charles Darwin incubated his theory of evolution while observing its flora and fauna. Spain, France, Britain, and Argentina each laid claim to the islands at some point; ever since 1833, the Falklands have been a British colony, although ever since 1833, the Argentineans have protested the British “occupation.” In April of 1982, an Argentine military dictatorship made these protests substantial with a full-scale invasion of the islands. The British retaliated, eventually winning back the islands by July. Militarily, this entirely unexpected war was heralded as the first “modern” war—a post- World War II clash of forces over a territorial dispute. “Here at last was a kind of war [military planners] recognized”; unlike Vietnam, this was “a clean, traditional war, with a proper battlefield, recognizable opponents in recognizable uniforms and positions, and no messy, scattered civil populations or guerrilla groups to complicate the situation.”1 Here, the “smart” weapons developed over 40 years of Cold War could finally be brought to bear against real targets. Likewise, the conflict provided one of the first opportunities to use nuclear submarines in real combat. -

Color profile: Generic CMYK printer profile Composite Default screen Koh: Seeking Balance SEEKING BALANCE Force Projection, Confidence Building, and the Republic of Singapore Navy Swee Lean Collin Koh espite the widespread proliferation of studies on the major navies in DAsia, first and foremost that of China, writings on the small navies of Asia—Southeast Asia in particular—have been few and far between. The slant toward those major navies is warranted by their influence on the regional na- val balance of power. However, it scarcely does justice to the small navies of Southeast Asia, a region of huge maritime geostrategic importance with po- tential security ramifications for wider Asian and global maritime security. Southeast Asia is also the scene of an interesting and serious buildup of sophis- ticated naval capabilities. This article therefore attempts to redress, at least partially, the dearth of inter- est in the small navies in Southeast Asia, using the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) as a case study. -

Försvarsmaktens Gemensamma Identitet – Direktiv För Användandet Av Försvarsmaktens Namn, Profil Och Bild
Försvarsmaktens gemensamma identitet – direktiv för användandet av Försvarsmaktens namn, profil och bild Grafisk profil 2013 EN PROFIL. EN FÖRSVARSMAKT. Att ha en tydlig grafisk profil är viktigt för alla organisationer, så även för Försvarsmakten. Ett av de främsta skälen är att mot- tagaren måste förstå att det är Försvarsmakten som är avsändare. Utgångspunkten för vår grafiska profil är en Försvarsmakt med respekt och tilltro till organisationens mångfald, historia och tra- ditioner. Varje logotyp har sitt bestämda användningsområde och tillfälle. Vi måste redan i fred skapa förtroende kring vår förmåga till väpnad insats. En enhetlig grafisk profil som visar på fasthet och konsekvens bidrar på ett naturligt sätt till att betona detta. Därför ska den grafiska profilen tillämpas av alla i Försvarsmakten. Profilen kan naturligtvis inte vara heltäckande. Men den pekar ut en riktning och idé som ska efterlevas. Detta direktiv komplet- teras en gång om året. InFoS tar gärna emot synpunkter och önskemål om komplette- ringar av beskrivningar och mallar. Försvarsmaktens gemensamma identitet beslutas av informa- tionsdirektören.

Swedish Navy Chief of Staff Makes Farewell Call on DPM Teo
Swedish Navy Chief of Staff Makes Farewell call on DPM Teo 03 Nov 2010 RADM Anders Grenstad calling on Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Defence Teo Chee Hean. The Chief of Staff of the Royal Swedish Navy (RSwN), Rear Admiral (RADM) Anders Grenstad, called on Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Defence Teo Chee Hean, at the Ministry of Defence this afternoon. RADM Grenstad, who is in Singapore for a farewell visit from 1 to 3 Nov 2010, also called on Chief of Defence Force Lieutenant-General Neo Kian Hong and Chief of Navy RADM Chew Men Leong, and visited the Changi Command and Control Centre earlier. RADM Grenstad's visit underscores the strong defence partnership and long-standing friendship between Singapore and Sweden. Under RADM Grenstad’s leadership, professional interactions between the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) and the RSwN have grown in scope. The two navies have shared expertise and experience in mine countermeasure and submarine training and operations. Both navies also engage regularly in a wide range of professional exchanges, cross-attendance of courses, visits and exercises. These interactions have enhanced the cooperation and professionalism of the RSwN and the RSN, and deepened the rapport and understanding between their officers and men. 1 RADM Anders Grenstad (right) hosted by Commander of the Maritime Security Task Force RADM Jackson Chia (centre) and Head of Information Fusion Centre LTC Lim Chye Khiang Nicholas (left) at the Changi Command and Control Centre. 2 .
