There have been constant reports how the Navy needs to replace some of its ageing subma- rine fleet. More than half of submarines have completed 75 per cent of their operational lives. Long before Sindhurakshak went out of action, only six of India’s 14 submarines were operating at any given time, while there is tardy progress on building the Scorpene with French assistance. The government has to provide adequate funds for the mod- ernisation programme and not keep diverting capital expenditure towards revenue expenditure as it was done in 2013-14. The Navy Chief’s resignation is a telling reminder to the political class and the bureaucrats to go beyond platitudes and assurances. Meanwhile, Indian Navy had a successful completion of its annual exercise Tropex (Theatre Level Operational Readiness Exer- cise). The exercise involved large-scale naval manoeuvres in all three dimensions, viz. surface, air and underwater, across the Bay of Bengal, Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean.

The Naval History Division plans to follow this approach in the case of the Vietnam War, focusing the Division's efforts primarily on an account of naval operations but accompanying the major history with publications in limited fields deserving of treatment beyond that to be given in the main work.

    The City of Yankton would like to thank Dave Hosmer for all of his time spent interviewing each of these Veterans, along with the countless presentations that he has put on to spread the message about our Veterans. The City of Yankton would also like to thank the Veterans, their families, their friends, and their supporters in sharing their experiences. Without you, we would not live in a country that is free. Thank you to all Veterans for your sacrifices. Raymond Pravecek Raymond Pravecek was born in rural Tyndall where his grandfather homesteaded. Both of his parents are of Czech heritage. In October of 1915, his parents moved to North Dakota. Two years later they moved back. His father was not active in WW1, but he was called to duty and then the War ended. The Depression was tough on his family. Dirt was three feet deep on fence posts. He tended their cattle in ditches because their pastures were so burned up. They raked Russian thistles and stacked them for feed. He turned 18 in 1944 and was drafted in the Spring of 1945. He met Alice Melichar at a dance just prior to leaving for boot camp. It was so hot at Camp Fannin, Texas that you could see your footprint in the blacktop! That didn’t stop him and Ray Goebbels; they once walked 8 miles to purchase two watermelons. They were tasty. Ray landed at Kobe, Japan, in the fall of 1945, but his occupation duty in the 33rd Signal Battalion was at Yokohama. His primary duty was to stand guard.
