Navy News Week 7-4 NAVY NEWS WEEK 7-4 14 February 2018 Pakistan Navy ship ASLAT seizes huge cache of drugs Pakistan Navy ship Aslat seized 5000 kg of hashish valued in millions of dollars while operating at North Arabian Sea, said a statement issued here by directorate of public relations of Pakistan Navy on Wednesday. The operation by PNS Aslat was carried out while undertaking maritime security operations in Pakistani Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). The successful seizure of narcotics by Pakistan Navy was the result of a complex and risky operation involving surveillance and analysis in the area and conduct of special operations. After gathering credible evidence, special warfare teams of PNS Aslat boarded the suspected vessel, undertook search operation and seized 5000 kg of hashish. Later, the sized drugs and suspects were handed over to Pakistan Maritime Security Agency (PMSA) ship for further legal proceedings and its disposal as per law. During this operation, Pakistan Navy ship crew demonstrated impeccable professionalism, selfless devotion and utmost courage in the face of harsh environment. The success of Pakistan Navy ship in interrupting the flow of narcotics highlights the importance accorded by Pakistan Navy in patrolling the waters of North Indian Ocean to ensure free flow of legitimate commerce and deny use of high seas to terrorists and all associated miscreants Successful operation by Pakistan Navy Ship resulting in seizure of huge quantity of narcotics is a testimony to the fact that the government of Pakistan and Pakistan Navy remain committed to ensuring freedom of high seas and preventing its use for any unlawful purposes. Pakistan Navy has been instrumental in curbing illegal transportation of contraband goods and will continue to shoulder its national obligation and responsibility for making the sea lanes across Indian Ocean safe and secure. PNS Aslat is a F-22P frigate capable of undertaking wide variety of combat as well as full spectrum maritime security operations at sea. The ship was deployed as part of the Multinational Combined Task Force-150 (CTF-150), which is part of Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF). The Task Force-150 is mandated to ensure maritime security to prevent counter terrorism and associated illegal activities. Source: APP Navy needs volunteer gunners for museum piece Written by defenceWeb, Wednesday, 07 February 2018 Does the thought of being responsible for firing a more than 130-year-old cannon appeal? If the answer is yes and you are serving in the SA Navy contact Lieutenant Commander Leon Steyn at the SA Naval Museum in Simons’ Town. He and long-time naval gunner, now retired Warrant officer Martin Venter, are looking for volunteers who want to learn the ins and outs of the nine inch rifled muzzle loading gun that holds pride of place at Middle North Battery. There is currently only one qualified operator for the gun which came to South Africa in 1885.It was mounted at Simon’s Town’s Upper North Battery where it was first fired in 1886. Venter presently has the distinction of being the only person qualified to fire the gun with “assistance” from another warrant officer, Harry Croome. “I’m retired and Harry is due to finish up in the not too distant future so there is definitely a need for volunteers,” Venter said. Both men, along with Steyn, are keen to recruit a new generation of volunteers to maintain and fire the gun. “Keen to keep the ‘living museum’ concept going, the old cannon is fired on special occasions and more specifically public holidays for the benefit of people visiting the SA Naval Museum. To maintain this tradition we call on young sailors with a passion for black powder, history and heritage to volunteer,” Steyn said. Venter agrees adding there must be a passion for old cannons and a willingness to give up free time over weekends and on public holidays with the outcome of “a rewarding hobby enabling you to meet many people and know you are part of preserving South Africa’s military – particularly its naval – history”. The cannon at Middle North Battery has six rifling grooves, the only gun still in service with this number of grooves. Venter said the gun, along with its slide, carriage and mounting was restored in the SA Naval Dockyard gun shop in 1983/84. “It has sadly, been vandalised since then and stripped of a number of parts but still works.” “Also significant is the gun was declared a National Monument in May 1979,” he said adding work was underway to reposition another relevant plaque because “the whereabouts of the original are no longer known”.

He said most of the vessel equipment had been upgraded, making it the most sophisticated in the South Pacific. EEZ borders five Pacific Island nations, of Vanuatu to the west, the Solomon Islands to the northwest, Tuvalu to the north, Wallis and Futuna to the northeast, Tonga to the southeast, with around 40 per cent of the EEZ bordering international waters. “The upgrade was fitted in at Cairns, Australia,” Captain (Navy)Tawake said. RFNS Kikau was taken to Cairns on board the MV Thorco Isadora last May. “The reason for the upgrade of the equipment is to strengthen the country’s security at the exclusive economic zone,” he said. “This is to address the increasing trend of illegal fishing in Fiji’s exclusive economic zone. “The aerial support is an extension of the current Pacific Maritime Programme. “In terms of illegal activities we have to deal within our region whether it’s illegal fishing, illegal movement of people, drugs and frankly anything related to terrorism, the more we can work together, the more we can cooperate and collaborate to address those challenges, the more effective it will be,” he said.Captain (Navy)Tawake said the upgraded RFNS Kikau is expected back in April. Twenty trained naval officers will bring the naval vessel from Australia to Fiji. “Maintenance on RFNS Kikau is still underway and is expected to be completed by April,” he said. “Late last year the Royal Australian Navy’s Sea Training Unit Defence Cooperation Programme team was in Fiji for a two-week training programme with 20 Republic of Fiji Navy officers. “They are responsible in operating the revamped vessel and they will be the ones bringing in the vessel. “The second half of the programme focusses on the collective ability of a vessel’s crew to reaction to incidents that they may face while providing maritime security to Fiji. “This includes fire-fighting, leak-stopping, medical emergencies, electrical and mechanical system maintenance and seamanship activities. “The training activities were aimed at better preparing Fijian sailors to work on board Pacific Class Patrol Boats, RFNS Kula and Kikau ,” he said. Meanwhile Republic of Fiji Military Forces Commander Rear Admiral Viliame Naupoto was briefed on the progress of the refit by the project manager and engineers of Norship industries when he visited Australia last year. Rear Admiral Viliame Naupoto had visited Norship Industries in Cairns, Queensland to inspect the progress of the refitting of RFNS Kikau When the RFNS Kikau returns, RFNS Kula will be taken for the same to Australia Rear Admiral Viliame Naupoto Naupoto had said as part of the Australian Government’s Pacific Maritime Security Programme (PMSP), the Fiji Navy will receive two modern patrol boats by 2022 and 2023 respectively.

US deploys DESTROYER warship where Russian spy ship was spotted 27 miles off coast A US Navy warship tasked with tailing a Russian spy ship off the American east coast has been deployed before going incognito. By Joshua Nevett / Published 7th February 2018 The USS Cole, an Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer, was dispatched from Naval Station Norfolk, in southeastern Virginia, on Wednesday afternoon, maritime trackers show. Naval monitors indicate the 505 ft-long USS Cole, whose top speed is 35 mph (30 knots), embarked from its homeport at around 3.48pm local time. Shortly after departing the naval base – home to 75 US Navy ships – the anti-aircraft, anti-missile vessel turned off its transponder, according to naval monitors. Transponders are tracking systems used to supplement marine radar – a primary method of collision avoidance. The USS Cole has been shadowing the Viktor Leonov, a Russian spy ship, as it travels through international waters along the US east coast, the US Navy said. The current whereabouts of the Viktor Leonov, a Soviet-era Vishnya class intelligence gathering vessel, has not been released by the US Navy or Russian agencies. The Russian ship, whose crew have access to anti-aircraft missiles and turret guns, was last spotted 350km east of Atlantic City. ON THE SEAS: The USS Cole has been dispatched from Naval Station Norfolk A US military plane, a P-8A Poseidon, was launched from Naval Air Station Jacksonville to monitor the ship, flight trackers showed. At its closest, the Russian ship sailed just 24 nautical miles (27 miles) off the coast of Norfolk, naval traffic data showed. Just days later, the USS George HW Bush, a Nimitz-class supercarrier, was deployed from Naval Station Norfolk – close to where the Russian boat was seen. Now the USS Cole has been dispatched amid large-scale naval exercises involving aircraft carrier the USS Harry S Truman off the US east coast.

  • The Pueblo Incident
    The Pueblo Incident Held hostage for 11 months, this Navy crew was freed two days before Christmas One of Pueblo's crew (left) checks in after crossing the Bridge of No Return at the Korean Demilitarized Zone, on Dec. 23, 1968, following his release by the North Korean government. He is wearing clothing provided by the North Koreans. The Pueblo (AGER-2) and her crew had been captured off Wonsan on January 23, 1968. Note North Korean troops in the background. (Navy) On the afternoon of Jan. 23, 1968, an emergency message reached the aircraft carrier Enterprise from the Navy vessel Pueblo, operating in the Sea of Japan. A North Korean ship, the message reported, was harassing Pueblo and had ordered it to heave to or be fired upon. A second message soon announced that North Korean vessels had surrounded Pueblo, and one was trying to put an armed party aboard the American ship. By then it was clear something was seriously amiss, but Enterprise, which was operating 500 miles south of Wonsan, North Korea, was unsure how to respond. “Number one,” recalled Enterprise commanding officer Kent Lee, “we didn’t know that there was such a ship as Pueblo.…By the time we waited for clarification on the message, and by the time we found out that Pueblo was a U.S. Navy ship…it was too late to launch.” This confusion was replicated elsewhere. Messages had started to flood the nation’s capital as well, but with similar results. Inside the White House Situation Room, watch officer Andrew Denner quickly recognized the gravity of the incident and started making calls but could obtain little information.

    My Father – The First Petarian Principal Muhammad Haseeb Abid, kit no. 97158/Liaquat When I was asked to write an essay about my father, Commodore Muhammad Abid Saleem SI(M) ONM(Fr), focusing on his achievements and personality, I thought it would be a very easy task. But as I sat down to write, I found myself lost in words. There is so much I would like to share with the Petarian community that it is difficult to condense all my thoughts into a few pages. Ever since I came of age and started to appreciate my father’s presence, I have a pretty good track record of his postings, his friends, his achievements, and good and bad times. But when I sit down to pen those down, I find that in reality I know very little about his life before his marriage. Anyways, I will try to share with you all what little I do know. My father was born on the 11th of May, 1951, somewhere in District Sargodha, to Chaudhry Noor M. Khan Saleem (late) and Naimat Begum. He was the third of six siblings. His early education was at Faisalabad, the city where he originally hailed from. In my conversations with him, I know for a fact that he had always been interested in joining the Army. I once asked him as to what took him to Petaro. He told me that someone from his village Jehangir Kallan showed him an ad in the newspaper about interviews being held in Lahore for the new entry in Cadet College Petaro.

Mar 1968 - North Korean Seizure of U.S.S. “Pueblo.” - Panmunjom Meetings of U.S. and North Korean Military Representatives. Increase in North Korean Attacks in Demilitarized Zone. - North Korean Commando Raid on Seoul. A serious international incident occurred in the Far East during the night of Jan. 22–23 when four North Korean patrol boats captured the 906-ton intelligence ship Pueblo, of the U.S. Navy, with a crew of 83 officers and men, and took her into the North Korean port of Wonsan. According to the U.S. Defence Department, the Pueblo was in international waters at the time of the seizure and outside the 12-mile limit claimed by North Korea. A broadcast from Pyongyang (the North Korean capital), however, claimed that the Pueblo–described as “an armed spy boat of the U.S. imperialist aggressor force” –had been captured with her entire crew in North Korean waters, where she had been “carrying out hostile activities.” The Pentagon statement said that the Pueblo “a Navy intelligence-collection auxiliary ship,” had been approached at approximately 10 p.m. on Jan. 22 by a North Korean patrol vessel which had asked her to identify herself. On replying that she was a U.S. vessel, the patrol boat had ordered her to heave to and had threatened to open fire if she did not, to which the Pueblo replied that she was in international waters.

  • The Pueblo Incident: a Spy Ship and the Failure of American Foreign Policy'
    H-Diplo DeFalco on Lerner, 'The Pueblo Incident: A Spy Ship and the Failure of American Foreign Policy' Review published on Saturday, June 1, 2002 Mitchell B. Lerner. The Pueblo Incident: A Spy Ship and the Failure of American Foreign Policy. Lawrence: University Press of Kansas, 2002. xii + 320 pp. $34.95 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-7006-1171-3. Reviewed by Ralph L. DeFalco (USNR, College of Continuing Education, Joint Maritime Operations Department, United States Naval War College) Published on H-Diplo (June, 2002) In Harm's Way: The Tragedy and Loss of the USS Pueblo In Harm's Way: The Tragedy and Loss of the USS Pueblo On January 23, 1968, the USS Pueblo was attacked, boarded, and captured by North Korean forces. The loss of the ship and its crew was one of the most agonizing incidents of Lyndon B. Johnson's presidency and could easily have sparked another Korean war. It did not. Today, the details of the Pueblo Incident are remembered by few and unknown to most, and the incident itself is little more than a footnote to the history of the Cold War. Mitchell B. Lerner's new book, The Pueblo Incident: A Spy Ship and the Failure of American Foreign Policy, is a detailed and thoroughly researched account of the Pueblo, its mission, its capture, and the captivity of its crew. Lerner, assistant professor of history at Ohio State University, writes well and thoughtfully organizes his work. He has proved also to be a diligent researcher with the demonstrated ability to blend both primary and secondary source materials into solid narrative.

    2nd Quarter 2007 "Rest well, yet sleep lightly and hear the call, if again sounded, to provide firepower for freedom…” THE JERSEYMAN - - 5 Years Nr. 54 USS NEW JERSEY… Korea-May 21, 1951 ―My special sea detail was on the anchor, and my job was to operate the brake to lower or raise the anchor. The best I can remember, it was about day break when the word was passed to man the special sea and anchor detail. As soon as we got to our station, we could see North Korean shells hitting nearby the ship. The word came down from the bridge… “let go the anchor Bos’n!” and Chief Warrant Bos’n H.J. White (he was from Mississippi,) told me to let the brake off, and by then we were backing down at flank speed. When the end of that anchor chain cleared the chain locker, it flew up and over, and took a bite out of the gunwale. And so we left our starboard anchor and chain back in Wonsan Harbor… One thing that still bothers me today, is why did we anchor in harm‘s way? Now at about this time, GQ was sounded and we manned our battle stations. We didn‘t leave the area… we stayed around long enough to take care of the guns that were firing at us. The Chaplain was our battle narrator. He would get on the P.A. system, and relay the info to all of us that were inside the ship and couldn‘t see what was going on.
