  • Legal Status of Warship Wrecks from World War Ii in Indonesian Territorial Waters (Incident of H.M.A.S
    LEGAL STATUS OF WARSHIP WRECKS FROM WORLD WAR II IN INDONESIAN TERRITORIAL WATERS (INCIDENT OF H.M.A.S. PERTH COMMERCIAL SALVAGING) Senada Meskin Post Graduate Student, Australian National University Canberra Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Second World War was one of the most devastating experiences that World as a whole had to endure. The war left so many issues unhandled, one such issue is the theme of this thesis, and that is to analyze legal regime that is governing sunken warships. Status of warship still in service is protected by international law and national law of the flag State, stipulating that warships are entitled to sovereign immunity. The question arises whether or not such sovereign immunity status follows warship wreck? Contemporary international law regulates very little considering ”sovereign wrecks‘, but customary international law, municipal court decisions and State practices are addressing issues quite profoundly, stating that even the warship is no longer in service it is still entitled to sovereign immunity status. HMAS Perth is Australian owned warship whose wreck current location is within Indonesian Territorial Sea. Recent reports show that commercial salvaging has been done, provoking outrage amongst surviving HMAS 3erth‘s naval personnel and Australian historians. In order to acquire clear stand point on issue of Sovereign :recks legal status, especially of +0AS 3erth‘s wreck, an in-depth analysis of legal material is necessary. Keywords: Territorial Waters, Warship, Warship Wreck, Salvage World War2, and Indonesia, which waters, I. INTRODUCTION many countries used as passage, had its part Sea going vessels has been used as a as well.

  • HMCS Prince Henry (Ex-North Star) Escapes the St Lawrence Before Freeze-Up 1940
    CHAPTER 8 HMCS Prince Henry (ex-North Star) escapes the St Lawrence before freeze-up 1940 CLARKE SHIPS GO TO WAR - AND WAR COMES TO THE ST LAWRENCE On Friday, September 1, 1939, the North Star, was in the middle of her final cruise of the summer, from New York to Montreal, at Bonne Bay, Newfoundland. The New Northland, on her sixth cruise of the season, was in the "Kingdom of the Saguenay." Both are places of great beauty. Passengers looked forward to a calm and peaceful day, but the news from Europe was anything but that. Germany had just invaded Poland. Two days later, on Sunday, September 3, with Germany having ignored a deadline set by the United Kingdom and France to withdraw from Poland, the world would be at war. On the day that war was declared, Donaldson Line's Athenia was a day out from Liverpool, en route from Glasgow to Montreal by way of the Strait of Belle Isle. But she would never reach Canada. Instead, she was torpedoed by the German submarine U-30, whose captain supposedly mistook her for a warship. Some 118 lives were lost in this, the first Allied merchant ship loss of the war. Luckily, conditions allowed 1,300 survivors to be rescued by two cargo ships, one American and one Norwegian, the Swedish yacht Southern Cross and the British destroyers HMS Electra, Escort and Fame. The 5,749- ton Knute Nelson landed 449 survivors at Galway Bay in Ireland, while the Southern Cross rescued 376 and transferred 236 of them to the 4,963-ton City of Flint, which took them on to Halifax.

  • Evacuation of Singapore
    1 THE FALL AND EVACUATION OF SINGAPORE INTRODUCTION This description of the fall and evacuation of Singapore in February 1942, followed by the journey from there to England via Australia, New Zealand, the Panama Canal and the US, was written by my father Frank Man (1914 – 1986), on his return to England some nine months after his escape. My father left England for the Far East in the autumn of 1936 to take up a position at a mercantile house - Edward Boustead. He was originally posted to Singapore but in early 1939 was transferred to Tumpat in Kelantan on the Malay Peninsular, a place he described as ‘awful’. He returned to Singapore a year later. He was always keen on the navy and would probably have chosen that as a career but his family placed a greater emphasis on succeeding at commerce and so when war came it was with some enthusiasm that he joined the navy. This version of my father’s escape was created for the internet in 2004 and will be revised and annotated in due course. At the end of the account is a letter from Frank Man’s mother to her daughter Eleanor (Frank’s sister) describing his arrival at home. David Man, New York City, April 2004. Postcard sent by Frank Man to his brother Henry on Frank’s first trip to Singapore. The card is dated October 10 1936, some two years later Frank’s future wife was to sail on the same ship from England to Singapore to visit her parents. 2 EVACUATION OF SINGAPORE On February 4th whilst still in command of H.M.S.

  • Remembrance Ni
    remembrance ni HMS Hood - no match for a much younger ship - the Bismarck HMS Hood On 24 May 1941 two mighty ships engaged in battle – the respective pride of the German and British navies: the Bismarck and HMS Hood. Page !1 HMS Hood was sunk by the Bismarck during the Battle of Denmark Strait on 24th May 1941 when only 3 of her 1415 strong crew survived. 11 of those who perished were from Northern Ireland. Summary - HMS Hood was a 42,100 ton battlecruiser built in 1920 for the Royal Navy. It held the position of world’s largest warship for more than two decades. In May 1941 Hood and the new battleship Prince of Wales were sent out to search for the German battleship Bismarck, which had left Norway for the Atlantic. On the morning of May 24th, the two British ships found the Bismark just west of Iceland. During this Battle of the Denmark Strait, one or more of Bismarck’s fifteen-inch shells found HMS Hood’s magazines and detonated in a massive explosion, killing all but three of her crew of 1,415. The event shocked the British nation and the entire world. The three survivors were Ted Briggs (1923– 2008), Robert Ernest Tilburn (1921–1995) and William John Dundas (1921–1965). They were rescued by the destroyer HMS Electra about two and a half hours after the sinking. The King during his final inspection of H.M.S. Hood on 06/03/1941. She was in Rosyth, undergoing a minor refit. In this photo, he is greeting an officer, who is most likely Captain Ralph Kerr.

  • WRNS100 Celebrating the Formation of the Women’S Royal Naval Service and Its Influence on Opportunities Forwomen in Today’S Royal Navy
    WRNS100 Celebrating the formation of The Women’s Royal Naval Service and its influence on opportunities forwomen in today’s Royal Navy 2017 1917 W R N S 100 Imperial War Museum Her Royal Highness the Princess Royal Patron of WRNS100 www.royalnavy.mod.uk/wrns100 www.wrns100.co.uk HISTORY In 2017 the Naval Service will celebrate the centenary of the formation of the Women’s Royal Naval Service (WRNS). It will also recognise the supporting role given by the WRNS to the naval service and acknowledge the transition made by women from the separate WRNS into the Royal Navy, and demonstrate the way in which the WRNS helped define the opportunities for women in today’s Royal Navy. The formation of the WRNS came at a fascinating time in our nation’s social history. Prior to the start of the First World War, the Suffragette movement had been lobbying the government for greater powers for women, but it was only as the war progressed that the role of women changed. By 1917 the Royal Navy was faced with a deteriorating manpower situation. The only option was for women to fulfil some of the shore jobs. The Admiralty decided to form a naval organisation for women, under the leadership of Dame Katherine Furse: it became known as the Women’s Royal Naval Service (WRNS). Previously Dame Katherine had been the Commander-in-Chief of the Voluntary Aid Detachments who had provided field nursing services on the Western Front and elsewhere. She was the ideal candidate to become the first Director of the WRNS; her leadership and example quickly set the tone of the new service.

  • Guns Blazing! Newsletter of the Naval Wargames Society No
    All Guns Blazing! Newsletter of the Naval Wargames Society No. 287 – SEPTEMBER 2018 Monday 6th August was International Naval War-Gaming Day, celebrating the birth of Fred Jane, father of naval wargaming. Last year games were played all around the world (the first started in Australia at just after midnight), ancient to ultra-modern, solo players to big groups. I hope this year was as good or better but as yet I have not seen anything to support it. Rob Morgan regularly brings to my attention articles in newspapers with naval links. Like the €1bn Spanish submarine that is too long for the dock at Cartagena resulting in additional expenditure for dock works and infrastructure. Another article was about the Australian invitation to China to join in the biennial Kakadu exercises and wargames. See also the book review about the “Indianapolis” which will be in next month’s AGB. WW2 shipwrecks are being plundered for scrap metal in Indonesia and Malaysian waters. The ten ships consist of HMS Prince of Wales, SS Loch Ranza, HMS Tien Kwang, HMS Banka, HMS Repulse, HMS Encounter, HMS Electra, HMS Exeter and HMS Thanet. The UK government absolutely condemns the unauthorised disturbance of any wreck containing human remains, and always has done. A military wreck should remain undisturbed and those who lost their lives on board should be allowed to rest in peace. The UK will work closely with the Indonesian and Malaysian Governments and local authorities to investigate. Somewhere in the world, the sun is over the yardarm.

  • Brave Report Issue 27 HMS PRINCE of WALES
    Issue 27 !1 Brave Report HMS Prince of Wales - Force Z ! HMS Prince of Wales was built by Cammell Laird and Company at the Cammell Laird shipyard in Birkenhead, England. Laid down on 01/01/1937. Launched on 03/05/1939. RN Northern Ireland - In Remembrance Issue 27 !2 During the Battle of Britain, Prince of Wales was damaged during August 1940 in the Merseyside Blitz, suffering a near-miss that exploded between her port side and the dockside, severely buckling and springing her outer plates. Construction was advanced by postponing tests, shortening trials. Commissioned 19/01/1941 with Captain John Leach. The ship was not completed until 31/03/1941. Intercepting Bismarck" The Prince of Wales entered service with HMS Hood to intercept Bismarck and Prinz Eugen. On May 24, she and the Hood fought the two German warships at the Battle of the Denmark Strait. Following the sinking of Hood, Prince of Wales, received seven large-caliber hits, and disengaged under a smokescreen. During the brief battle, she struck Bismarck three times. Prince of Wales joined HMS Suffolk and Norfolk. Gunfire was exchanged with the Bismarck briefly at 0131 hours on May 25. Twelve hours later, Prince Of Wales broke off pursuit due to her fuel running low. She then returned for six weeks of repair. In early August, the Prince of Wales carried Winston Churchill as a passenger to RN Northern Ireland - In Remembrance Issue 27 !3 Newfoundland for a secret meeting with Franklin D.
