  • Ladies and Gentlemen, Good Evening
    Trafalgar Dinner Address by Vice Admiral Tim Barrett, AO, CSC, RAN Chief of Navy Australian Defence Force Academy 17 October 2014 Ladies and Gentlemen, good evening. It is a distinct pleasure to dine with you this evening, to mark what will, in just a few days, be the 209th anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar. There is reason for us being here tonight; a great and significant purpose. Some might think it because the Royal Australian Navy has four serving Vice Admirals for the first time in its history but, however impressive, that is not why we’re here. Some might think it because we can have an enjoyable evening together but, while I am sure we will, that is not why we’re here. Some might think it so I can quiz you on which of the RAN’s serving Vice Admirals is the same height as Lord Nelson – no pressure to get the right answer – but that is not why we are here. Ladies and Gentlemen, the reason we are here tonight is because we are different; different by virtue of our membership of the naval profession of arms. While we are rightly part of a joint force, the Australian Defence Force, and while you attend a tri‐service academy, you are still different from your army and air force peers. The value you will bring to the joint fight is your expertise, your skill, your mastery of warfare at sea – on, over, under and from the sea. Whether you are aircrew, supply, engineer, warfare officer, doctor, dentist or submariner, you are first and foremost a naval officer – it is a unique profession in its benefits and challenges – it is anything but ordinary and it is immensely important to Australia.

Nine EU nations will on Monday (25 June) formalise a plan to create a European military intervention force, a French minister said, with Britain backing the measure as a way to maintain strong defence ties with the bloc after Brexit. The force, known as the European Intervention Initiative and championed by French President Emmanuel Macron, is intended to be able to deploy rapidly to deal with crises.
