ESPS CANARIAS home port is Rota Naval Base in the south of Spain. ESPS CANARIAS is fitted with a helicopter SH-60 and Marine Boarding Team that completes her capabilities and ensures she is capable of conducting the missions and tasks assigned by EUNAVFOR MED. The Santa Maria Class is a multirole warship able to carry out missions ranging from high intensity warfare integrated into a battle group and conducting offensive and defensive operations, to low intensity scenarios against non-conventional threats. Designed primarily to act in the interests of the State in the maritime areas overseas and participate in the settlement crises outside Europe, this leading warship can also be integrated into a naval air force. It may operate in support of an intervention force or protection of commercial traffic and perform special operations or humanitarian missions. The Santa Maria class frigates, like destroyers and corvettes, are given the generic name of escorts with the main task of protecting other units and maintaining sea lines of communications. However, their versatility allows the F-80 frigates to carry out a wide range of missions, which can be grouped into two broad categories: • Maritime Interdiction Operations: known as 'MIO operations', these consist of shipping control in a given area to ensure the maintenance of safe passage within any given restrictions or regulations as ruled by International Organisations.

    The Naval Forces of Belligerents

    International Law Studies—Volume 50 THE LAW OF WAR AND NEUTRALITY AT SEA Robert W. Tucker (Author) The thoughts and opinions expressed are those of the authors and not necessarily of the U.S. Government, the U.S. Department of the Navy or the Naval War College. III. THE NAVAL FORCES OF BELLIGERENTS A. THE NAVAL FORCES OF BELLIGERENTS ACCORDING TO THE TRADITIONAL LAW In warfare at sea it is important to be able to identify clearly the naval forces of belligerents. The reason for this is that many of the rules regu­ lating inter-belligerent and neutral-belligerent relations are dependent for their operation upon the possibility of distinguishing between combatants and non-combatants. Only the naval forces of a belligerent are permitted to conduct offensive operations against an enemy. In addition, the treat­ ment accorded to a belligerent vessel depends, in the first place, upon whether or not the vessel forms a part of the belligerent's naval forces. Whereas the naval vessels of a belligerent are subject to attack and destruc­ tion on sight, enemy merchant vessels are normally exempt fro1n such treat­ ment. Whereas title to a vessel in the military service of an enemy immedi­ ately vests in the government of the captor by virtue of the fact of capture, title to an enemy merchant vessel normally depends upon adjudication by a prize court. So also may the treatment of personnel taken from enemy ves­ sels differ, depending upon the status of the vessel. Finally, the traditional rules governing neutral-belligerent relations in naval war presuppose throughout the possibility of distinguishing between the naval forces of belligerent and belligerent merchant vessels.

    Navy Light Amphibious Warship (LAW) Program: Background and Issues for Congress Updated July 22, 2020 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R46374 SUMMARY R46374 Navy Light Amphibious Warship (LAW) July 22, 2020 Program: Background and Issues for Congress Ronald O'Rourke The Navy’s new Light Amphibious Warship (LAW) program envisions procuring a class of 28 to Specialist in Naval Affairs 30 new amphibious ships to support the Marine Corps, particularly in implementing a new Marine Corps operational concept called Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations (EABO). The Navy’s proposed FY2021 budget requests $30 million in research and development funding for initial industry studies and concept design work on the ship. The Navy envisions procuring the ships on an expedited schedule, with the first LAWs potentially being procured in FY2023 and a total of 28 notionally being procured by FY2026. The EABO concept was developed with an eye toward potential conflict scenarios with China in the Western Pacific. Under the concept, the Marine Corps envisions, among other things, having reinforced-platoon-sized Marine Corps units maneuver around the theater, moving from island to island, to fire anti-ship cruise missiles (ASCMs) and perform other missions so as to contribute, alongside Navy and other U.S. military forces, to U.S. operations to counter and deny sea control to Chinese forces. The LAW ships would be instrumental to these operations, with LAWs embarking, transporting, landing, and subsequently reembarking these small Marine Corps units. As conceived by the Navy and Marine Corps, LAWs would be much smaller and individually much less expensive to procure and operate than the Navy’s current amphibious ships.

    Name: Edhelper Naval Changes in the War

    Name: edHelper Naval Changes in the War When the Civil War began, it did not just affect the army, but the navy as well. When the war began, naval battles were fought in wooden ships. In months, though, they were experimenting with ironclad ships, submarines, and torpedoes. Perhaps the most well known ironclad ships were the Merrimac and the Monitor. Ironclads were so named because of the iron plates which covered the parts of the ship above the water. The Merrimac was a Union ship that had been burned and sunk. The Confederates raised her and used the hull as the basis for their new ironclad warship. She was renamed the C.S.S. Virginia, but was still known as the Merrimac. She rode low in the water which made her hard to steer. However, she was well built, and her crew was determined to show it. On March 8, 1862, the Merrimac sailed up the James River and attacked the blockaded ships at Hampton Roads. She rammed and sunk the steamship Cumberland and then attacked the frigate Congress. Cannon balls bounced off of the Merrimac and seemed to do no harm. The next day, the U.S.S. Monitor arrived to protect the Union ships. She was determined to stop the Merrimac from sinking more ships. She was faster and easier to maneuver, but the Merrimac was bigger, stronger, and carried more guns. The two ironclads began fighting it out. They fired their cannons back and forth at each other. The Merrimac tried ramming the Monitor, but her iron ram had broken off the day before.

    Fact Sheet on U.S. Nuclear Powered Warship (NPW) Safety 1. Commitments of the U.S. Government about the Safety of U.S. NPWs U.S. Nuclear Powered Warships (NPWs) have safely operated for more than 50 years without experiencing any reactor accident or any release of radioactivity that hurt human health or had an adverse effect on marine life. Naval reactors have an outstanding record of over 134 million miles safely steamed on nuclear power, and they have amassed over 5700 reactor-years of safe operation. Currently, the U.S. has 83 nuclear-powered ships: 72 submarines, 10 aircraft carriers and one research vessel. These NPWs make up about forty percent of major U.S. naval combatants, and they visit over 150 ports in over 50 countries, including approximately 70 ports in the U.S. and three in Japan. Regarding the safety of NPWs visiting Japanese ports, the U.S. Government has made firm commitments including those in the Aide-Memoire of 1964; the Statement by the U.S. Government on Operation of Nuclear Powered Warships in Foreign Ports of 1964; the Aide-Memoire of 1967; and the Memorandum of Conversation of 1968. Since 1964 U.S. NPWs have visited Japanese ports (i.e., Yokosuka, Sasebo and White Beach) more than 1200 times. The results of monitoring in these ports conducted by the Government of Japan and the U.S. Government, respectively, demonstrate that the operation of U.S. NPWs does not result in any increase in the general background radioactivity of the environment. The U.S. Government states that every single aspect of these commitments continues to be firmly in place.

Work A Thesis in the Field of Sustainability and Environmental Management for the Degree of Master of Liberal Arts in Extension Studies Harvard University November 2016 Copyright 2016 Fraser W. Work Abstract This project explores a Canadian warship’s propulsion and electrical energy use patterns to define energy baselines and determine if the ship would be able to save energy without compromising mission capability. The study also aims to define the key factors preventing more efficient energy use, and suitable technical and behavioral options to reduce overall mission fuel consumption. The author postulates that improved energy efficiency can coincidentally improve mission, cost and environmental performance. This study defines a Canadian Patrol Frigate’s energy baselines for a single warship between July 2015 and March 2016. HMCS VANCOUVER (VAN) machinery control system and bridge logbook data were combined to define the ship’s daily trends for both propulsion and electrical energy, and determine what opportunities were available to meet speed demands, using more efficient engine configurations.
