    CHAPTER 4 R.A.N. SHIPS OVERSEAS TO JUNE 194 0 URING the first ten months of the war, those Australian ships not D retained on the home station were employed in Imperial dispositions in widely separated areas . The first six months found Perth in Central American waters, mainly engaged in the dual task of protecting trade — especially the important tanker traffic in the Caribbean—and preventin g the escape of German merchant ships sheltering in neutral ports of th e islands and the Isthmus . Last of the three expansion-program cruiser s acquired from Britain, she had commissioned at Portsmouth on the 29th June 1939 as H .M.A. Ship under "Fighting Freddie " Farncomb, a studious , coolly-efficient officer whose nickname, bestowed during the war, reflected the confidence and esteem of the lower deck . Perth sailed from Portsmouth on the 26th July for Australia via th e Panama Canal, and reached New York, where she represented Australi a at the World Fair, on the 4th August. On the 21st of the month, after twelve days of American hospitality, she arrived at Kingston, Jamaica, an d was to have sailed for Panama on the 23rd, but in the early morning o f that date Farncomb received a signal sent to the Admiralty by the Com- mander-in-Chief, America and West Indies—Vice-Admiral Meyrick' — asking that Perth might remain on the station . Farncomb thereupon can- celled his sailing arrangements, thus anticipating an Admiralty signa l received later in the day directing him to "return Kingston and awai t further orders " .

  • Integrated Review: the Defence Tilt to the Indo-Pacific
    BRIEFING PAPER Number 09217, 11 May 2021 Integrated Review: The defence tilt to the Indo- By Louisa Brooke-Holland Pacific In March 2021 the Government set out its security, defence, development and “Defence is an foreign policy and its vision of the UK’s role in the world over the next two essential part of the decades by publishing: Global Britain in a Competitive Age: the Integrated UK’s integrated Review of Security, Defence, Development and Foreign Policy and the offer to the command paper Defence in a Competitive Age. region.” These documents describe a “tilt to the Indo-Pacific.” A clear signal of this new Defence in a intent, and the Government’s commitment to “Global Britain”, is the first Competitive Age, deployment of the HMS Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier strike group to the 22 March 2021 Indo-Pacific in 2021. This paper explores what this means for UK defence, explains the current UK defence presence in the Indo-Pacific and discusses some of the concerns raised about the tilt. It is one of a series that the Commons Library is publishing on the Integrated Review (hereafter the review) and the command paper. 1. Why tilt to the Indo-Pacific? The Government says the UK needs to engage with the Indo-Pacific more deeply for its own security. The review describes the region as being at the “centre of intensifying geopolitical competition with multiple potential flashpoints.” These flashpoints include unresolved territorial disputes in the South China Sea and East China Sea, nuclear proliferation, climate change as a potential driver of conflict, and threats from terrorism and serious organised crime.

  • 170907 A035 El Buque De Guerra Británico HMS Diamond Llega A
    InfoGibraltar Servicio de Información de Gibraltar Aviso Ministerio de Defensa El buque de guerra británico HMS Diamond llega a Gibraltar Gibraltar, 7 de septiembre de 2017 El buque [de la Royal Navy británica] HMS Diamond hará escala en Gibraltar el viernes 8 de septiembre para realizar una breve visita antes de dirigirse al Golfo Pérsico para una misión operativa de nueve meses. El HMS Diamond, un Destructor Tipo 45, relevará en breve al HMS Monmouth, una Fragata Tipo 23 con base en Plymouth, en el prolongado compromiso de la Royal Navy en aquella región. El HMS Diamond colaborará con aliados internacionales y de la OTAN para proteger algunas de las rutas de comercio marítimo más transitadas del mundo, manteniéndolas libres de actividades criminales. Partiendo desde Portsmouth a principios de esta semana, el Comandante (Commander) Ben Keith, Oficial al Mando (Commanding Officer) del HMS Diamond, declaró: “Éste es un buque de guerra altamente versátil y con gran capacidad, por lo que desempeñaremos múltiples roles una vez que comencemos nuestra misión. El HMS Diamond escoltará a nuestros aliados a través de algunos de los puntos más conflictivos del mundo, como el estrecho de Bab el‐Mandeb, cerca de Yemen, y también llevaremos a cabo actividades de defensa y ejercicios con las armadas de otros países. Naturalmente, también nos mantendremos dispuestos para cumplir cualquier función bélica que nos sea encomendada”. La visita del HMS Diamond debería ser muy interesante para la tripulación, dado que llegan a tiempo de participar en las celebraciones del Día Nacional [de Gibraltar] (National Day).
