The aims of the SPC-A are: to promote understanding of sea power and its application to the security of Australia’s national interests; to manage the development of RAN doctrine and facilitate its incorporation into ADF joint doctrine; to contribute to regional engagement; and, within the higher Defence organisation, contribute to the development of maritime strategic concepts and strategic and operational level doctrine, and facilitate informed force structure decisions.

Since 1966 the ADB has expanded, incorporating the lives of many of Australia’s most famous and infamous personalities, and currently the work runs into sixteen biographical volumes which now cover individuals who passed away prior to 1980. By including some of the most interesting naval personalities from the ADB within this volume it is hoped that a wider audience may gain familiarity with the deep and lasting contribution that these individuals have made to Australian maritime and indeed national affairs. The selected biographies include naval officers, sailors, administrators, and professionals who have made a lasting contribution to Australia. This collection is recommended as a source of inspiration. Naval personalities who have exhibited personal discipline, moral fortitude and strong leadership capabilities in the past, are most suitable role models for Australia’s present and future naval personalities. viii ix Editor’s Note Whereas the Australian Dictionary of Biography (ADB) is aimed at a wide audience, the biographies within this volume were selected from those individuals whose lives have influenced Australian naval and maritime traditions. Originally the selection was limited to persons who had made a lasting contribution to Australia’s maritime tradition and the Australian Navy, however a thorough reading of the ADB identified numerous individuals who were influenced by our maritime traditions and who went on to make lasting contributions to Australian society. The Australian Navy itself has always consisted of a combination of naval professionals who are to some extent separate from the society that they protect, and a reserve element, drawn from the greater society, who meet the naval challenge in times of need. This volume aims to adequately represent all such groups. It is as role models that these lives remain relevant to us today. Often their moral fibre, ingenuity and dedication in difficult situations can provide us with imagery that inspires us to think how we too might react in a similar situation. For contrast, a few characters that have perhaps been more infamous than otherwise are included. The selected biographies by no means exhaust the available subjects, rather the current selection is mostly limited to persons who passed away prior to 1980 and were subsequently selected for inclusion within the ADB. A few biographies prepared for future volumes of the ADB have also been included. Some preference has been given to Australian-born and raised subjects, although this criteria has not been followed too stringently. Indeed the dominating role of the Royal Navy (RN) in the earliest history of Australia requires the inclusion of persons of British birth who served in Australian waters. Much of the early history of maritime affairs in Australia was enacted and written by British males, and subsequently women, Australian Aborigines and persons from non- British backgrounds are under-represented both in this volume and in the earlier volumes of the ADB. The most recent volumes of the ADB have helped to overcome this bias. Some readers may believe that famous names not included in the current volume should have been incorporated, however, the editor can only apologise in advance by

  • The Axis and Allied Maritime Operations Around Southern Africa, 1939-1945
    THE AXIS AND ALLIED MARITIME OPERATIONS AROUND SOUTHERN AFRICA, 1939-1945 Evert Philippus Kleynhans Dissertation presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Military Science (Military History) in the Faculty of Military Science, Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Prof I.J. van der Waag Co-supervisor: Dr E.K. Fedorowich December 2018 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za DECLARATION By submitting this dissertation electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Date: December 2018 Copyright © 2018 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract The majority of academic and popular studies on the South African participation in the Second World War historically focus on the military operations of the Union Defence Force in East Africa, North Africa, Madagascar and Italy. Recently, there has been a renewed drive to study the South African participation from a more general war and society approach. The South African home front during the war, and in particular the Axis and Allied maritime war waged off the southern African coast, has, however, received scant historical attention from professional and amateur historians alike. The historical interrelated aspects of maritime insecurity evident in southern Africa during the war are largely cast aside by contemporary academics engaging with issues of maritime strategy and insecurity in southern Africa.

  • 04 Chapters 8-Bibliography Burns
    159 CHAPTER 8 THE BRISBANE LINE CONTROVERSY Near the end of March 1943 nineteen members of the UAP demanded Billy Hughes call a party meeting. Hughes had maintained his hold over the party membership by the expedient of refusing to call members 1a together. For months he had then been able to avoid any leadership challenge. Hughes at last conceded to party pressure, and on 25 March, faced a leadership spill, which he believed was inspired by Menzies. 16 He retained the leadership by twenty-four votes to fifteen. The failure to elect a younger and more aggressive leader - Menzies - resulted in early April in the formation by the dissenters of the National Service Group, which was a splinter organisation, not a separate party. Menzies, and Senators Leckie and Spicer from Victoria, Cameron, Duncan, Price, Shcey and Senators McLeary, McBride, the McLachlans, Uphill and Wilson from South Australia, Beck and Senator Sampson from Tasmania, Harrison from New South Wales and Senator Collett from Western Australia comprised the group. Spender stood aloof. 1 This disturbed Ward. As a potential leader of the UAP Menzies was likely to be more of an electoral threat to the ALP, than Hughes, well past his prime, and in the eyes of the public a spent political force. Still, he was content to wait for the appropriate moment to discredit his old foe, confident he had the ammunition in his Brisbane Line claims. The Brisbane Line Controversy Ward managed to verify that a plan existed which had intended to abandon all of Australia north of a line north of Brisbane and following a diagonal course to a point north of Adelaide to be abandoned to the enemy, - the Maryborough Plan.
