My PhD was supported by the Australian Defence Organisation. This research would not have been possible without the cooperation of the Royal Australian Navy and the Patrol Boat Program Systems Office. vii Abstract Navies around the world have been using High Speed Light Craft (HSLC) in a wider range of military roles and ocean environments than ever before. This increasing range of operations, use of lightweight scantlings, and susceptibility to slamming necessitates the development of improved structural fatigue assessment methods. These improved methods are required to ensure that a HSLC will meet its intended life, and to evaluate the impact of through-life modifications to the structure or operational profile. This PhD thesis covers the development of an efficient structural fatigue life assessment framework for high-performance naval ships. The framework helps to inform risks through-life for decision-makers, by integrating real-world data and optimised tool selection. The thesis begins with a critical review of available approaches to fatigue assessment and their associated merits and limitations when

Issue 30, 2021 On morning of 1 July 1945 hundreds of warships and vessels from the United States Navy, the Royal Australian Navy (RAN), and the Royal Netherlands Navy lay off the coast of Balikpapan, an oil refining centre on Borneo’s south-east coast. An Australian soldier described the scene: Landing craft are in formation and swing towards the shore. The naval gunfire is gaining momentum, the noise from the guns and bombs exploding is terrific … waves of Liberators [heavy bombers] are pounding the area.1 This offensive to land the veteran 7th Australian Infantry Division at Balikpapan was the last of a series amphibious operations conducted by the Allies to liberate areas of Dutch and British territory on Borneo. It was the largest amphibious operation conducted by Australian forces during the Second World War. Within an hour some 16,500 troops were ashore and pushing inland, along with nearly 1,000 vehicles.2 Ultimately more than 33,000 personnel from the 7th Division and Allied forces were landed in the amphibious assault.3 Balikpapan is often cited as an example of the expertise achieved by Australian forces in amphibious operations during the war.4 It was a remarkable development.

Brooker, CSC, RAN2 Commander, Australian Navy Mine Warfare and Clearance Diving Group The Australian Navy Mine Warfare and Clearance Diving Group was formed in 2001 from the Australian Mine Warfare and Clearance Diving Forces as part of a reorganisation of the Royal Australian Navy (RAN). The groupʼs function is to manage all inputs, services and resources needed to deliver the mine warfare and clearance diving capabilities required to fight and win at sea and to contribute to military support operations. In this paper, Martin Brooker outlines the strategic need for a mine warfare and clearance diving capability in the RAN, the history of the capability and future requirements. “We have lost control of the seas to a nation without a navy, using pre-World War I weapons, laid by vessels that were utilised at the time of the birth of Christ” – Rear Admiral Alan E.

    ANNUAL REPORT 2004-05 DEFENDING AUSTRALIA AND ITS NATIONAL INTERESTS Guide to the Report The format and content of this annual report reflects the requirements developed by the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet and approved by the Joint Committee of Public Accounts and Audit in June 2005 under subsections 63(2) and 70(2) of the Public Service Act 1999. The Defence Annual Report 2004-05 addresses the Department of Defence and the Australian Defence Force (ADF), which are collectively referred to as ‘Defence’. The Department of Veterans’ Affairs and the Defence Housing Authority, which are parts of the Defence Portfolio, have separate annual reports. The Australian Strategic Policy Institute, funded substantially by Defence, is a Government-owned company incorporated under the Corporations Act 2001 and has a separate annual report. Annual reports and portfolio budget and additional estimates statements are the principal formal accountability mechanisms between the Government, departments and the Parliament. Portfolio budget statements set out performance targets for departmental outputs. Portfolio additional estimates may contain revised targets and annual reports describe achievement against those targets. In addition, Defence’s annual reports are designed to link performance during the year under review with performance forecasts contained in the portfolio budget statements for the following year. Style Conventions The following notation may be used: -nil n/a not applicable (unless otherwise specified) $m $ million Figures in tables and in the text may be rounded. Figures in text are generally rounded to one decimal place, whereas figures in tables are generally rounded to the nearest thousand or million.

  • 33 CHAPTER 7 A.S.I.S. Dafila in March 1942, I Joined the Eastern
    CHAPTER 7 A.S.I.S. Dafila In March 1942, I joined the Eastern Mediterranean Fleet Armament Stores and Issuing Ship Dajila as Third Officer, resplendent in all new uniforms and completely new kit. The ship of 1 ,940 tons had 9 British Officers; a Sudanese crew of 40 and a Royal Marine detachment of 10. The Sudanese crew only spoke Arabic and once again I was faced with a new language to learn. They were also devout Muslims and the ship's routine was organised around their thrice daily prayers. They were splendid physical specimens, most being over six feet ; they were first class seaman and boilermen , cheerful, hardworking , honest and spotlessly clean in their clothes and habits in marked contrast to the local Egyptian Arabs. Alexandria based, our task was to re-supply the fleet with ammunition , a task that kept us pretty busy. Our berth in Alexandria was in the outer harbour in the ammunition anchorage that we shared with a number of ammunition lighters . Close to the entrance but well awa y from the dockyard facilities we were responsible for the security of the area and our Ro yal Marines acted as sentries . The theory was that the anchorage was relatively safe as the Germans were unlikel y to attack that area because of the close proximity of the demobilised French Fleet that was moored between us and the dockyard area. Neither the Germans nor Italians seems to have been acquainted with this theor y and we suffered a number of bombing attacks and twice mines had to be rendered safe in our close proximity.
