  • HMS Tyne - Summary of Service 1941-1972
    HMS Tyne - Summary of Service 1941-1972 HMS Tyne was laid down on 15 July 1938 as a Destroyer Depot Ship. Launched at the Greenock yard of Scotts Shipbuilding Company on 28 February 1940, she was completed exactly a year later, four months later than the stipulated contract date. Arriving at Scapa Flow on 3 March 1941, the Tyne became the flagship of Rear Admiral (Destroyers), Home Fleet. She remained as flagship until 18 August 1944, when she left Scapa for her first refit since commissioning; previously, she had undergone short docking periods at Sheerness and then on the Clyde. The six-week refit on the Clyde included the installation of equipment required for service in the Far East and also further improvement to her armament. After a work-up at Scapa, HMS Tyne sailed for Ceylon in mid-November 1944 and arrived at Trincomalee on 11 December to join the Fleet Train, as the flagship of Rear Admiral (D), British Pacific Fleet. The BPF left Ceylon in late January 1945 and after a brief stop at Sydney, the Tyne proceeded to the Fleet's advanced base at Manus, Admiralty Islands. The main body of the Fleet was in action off the Sakishima Gunto from 26 March until 25 May 1945, with a short break at San Pedro Bay, Leyte, at the end of April. HMS Tyne arrived at San Pedro Bay at the beginning of April and remained until 24 May, supporting the 18 destroyers and seven sloops and frigates with the Fleet and Fleet Train. The Tyne returned to Sydney, via Manus, to replenish her stocks of spares and to prepare for service at a new advanced base, closer to Japan itself, at Eniwetok, where the US Navy had agreed to make facilities available for the establishment of a British anchorage for replenishment of Fleet oilier.

    Applying Queueing Theory and Architecturally-Oriented Early Stage Ship Design to the Concept of a Vessel Deploying a Fleet of Uninhabited Vehicles by Nikolaos Kouriampalis A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering) Department of Mechanical Engineering University College London 2019 1 "Ἐὰν ταῖς γλώσσαις τῶν ἀνθρώπων λαλῶ καὶ τῶν ἀγγέλων, ἀγάπην δὲ μὴ ἔχω, γέγονα χαλκὸς ἠχῶν ἢ κύμβαλον ἀλαλάζον" Προς Κορινθίους Α' 13 επιστολή Παύλου "If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal" 1 Corinthians 13:1 Paul’s Epistle 2 Declaration I, Nikolaos Kouriampalis, declare that except where explicit reference is made to other sources, this thesis is the result of my own work. I confirm that this thesis has not been submitted for any other degree at University College London or any other institution. Print Name: Signature: 3 Abstract Uninhabited vehicles technology is becoming important in naval warfare, providing an entirely new capability. By projecting power through the deployment of such vehicles, the exposure of humans to military threats is reduced. Although the Royal Navy is pursuing the employment of uninhabited vehicles for a variety of applications, the concept of a substantial fleet of such vehicles, operated from a mothership, able to host and support their operations during a mission scenario, is still a novel design challenge. In the initial design stages, when little of design effort has been committed, ship design details will be far from fully defined and are still amenable to change without significant implications on the programme budget, or schedule.

You can build three times as many submarines for your money as big ones.... but the actual problem lay in a quite different sphere. Big submarines mean a policy of aggression, to further world revolution. Small sub- marines mean coastal defense—that is, self-defense, and postponement of world revolution.

  • Stone Frigates" of the Royal Navy in North America

These retroactive awards are still being made to qualifying veterans. Only World War II CIB/CMB recipients are eligible; no soldier who received the CIB or CMB later qualifies under this provision. In addition to CIB/CMB recipients, all soldiers cited in orders or awarded a certificate of exemplary conduct in ground combat may receive a Bronze Star. Idem. In September 1983. the Army authorized retroactive Bronze Stars to soldiers asigned to units awarded the Distinguished Unit Citation while serving on Luzon and Corregidor from December 7, 1941 to May 10, 1942. 6. AR 600-45, paragraph 13a, 2 May 1927. "Stone Frigates" of the Royal Navy in North America Jeffrey B. Floyd (OMSA 1136) Long Service and Good Conduct Medals of the Royal. Navy are fairly common medals. As with most British medals, however, they are distinguished by being named. The naming will include the individual’s service number, name and ship of assignment. The ship’s name can evoke Britain’s long naval history, such as HMS Ark Royal, or it can be obscure, such as HMS Saker. If the ship turns out to be a "stone frigate", the collector may discover that it participated in no major battles and, in fact, never went to sea at all. However, the lack of 3! sea-going prowess should not deter the collector. In Royal Navy parlance, a "stone frigate" is a shore establishment, whether a depot, a training base, or some kind of support facility.

  • Petty Officer First Class E. Leslie Goodwin: a Royal Naval Canadian Volunteer in World War I
    PETTY OFFICER FIRST CLASS E. LESLIE GOODWIN: A ROYAL NAVAL CANADIAN VOLUNTEER IN WORLD WAR I David Pierce Beatty A well known Canadian yachtsman and member of the Royal Canadian Yacht Club, Aemilius Jarvis of Toronto, suggested our unit. His objective was to recruit youngsters with yachting and fishing experience. He expected them to serve in small craft like motor boats and sweepers with a short training period, only three months training duty. However, we were recruited from all over Canada. Former Petty Officer First Class E. Leslie Goodwin, RNCVR, Wareham, Massachusetts, 4 May 1991. Petty Officer First Class E. Leslie Goodwin's unit was the Royal Naval Canadian Volunteer Reserve (RNCVR). A native of Baie Verte, New Brunswick, he remembers travelling to Saint John, some seventy-five years ago in December, 1916, and joining the Overseas Division of the RNCVR. He was seventeen years old at the time. The RNCVR is all but forgotten today. Yet Leslie Goodwin was one of 8000 Canadians who joined the RNCVR and one of 1700 volunteer reservists who served overseas. In Leslie's words, "theirs was a tale of endurance, perseverance, courage and adventure." In 1986 Leslie Goodwin decided that his part in that tale should be told. He recalled his navy days in letters and in a May 1991 interview at his home in Marion, Massachusetts. He returned "home" in July 1992 to visit his sister, Phyllis Anderson, at the Goodwin family residence in Baie Verte. Twenty years had passed since Leslie last visited Baie Verte relatives, such as his cousin and World War I army veteran Vincent Goodwin.
