  • Naval Gunfire
    navalgunfire.txt Artillery support in Normandy Author: Simon Alderson () Date: 06-23-04 13:41 Could someone tell me how long it was before allied artillery units were in action after D Day. Were artillery battalions disembarked on D Day and were available for action on D Day? How long did the Allies rely on naval gunfire for support? How would you represent naval gunfire support? Can a warship use time on target fire missions for example? Answers to these questions would be appreciated. Thanks Simon Reply To This Message Re: Artillery support in Normandy Author: Mark Hayes () Date: 06-23-04 15:04 Simon, I can give you some short answers now. Others will likely respond and I'll try to expand my remarks later. 1) Some self-propelled artillery were part of the assault waves, and even fired from the landing craft on the way in. 2) The Allies used naval gunfire support (NGFS) well into the campaign. A salvo from a battleship's main guns can make an impression on the enemy significantly greater than explosions from 25-pdrs, however numerous they may be. 3) There has been a lot of discussion on representing NGFS earlier in the forum. Scroll back several months. There may also be some ideas on the Pacific Playtest forum. 4) Good question. I would say yes, especially if the ship is serving as its own spotter. The 5-inch fire from the destroyers on D-Day would be considered this. With regard to indirect fire called in by a naval gunfire liason team, ships are certainly capable of directing every battery on a point target.

  • The Royal New Zealand Navy, 1910-2010 Michael Wynd
    Small Steps from Empire to Independence: The Royal New Zealand Navy, 1910-2010 Michael Wynd Cet article explique le lien intime entre la Marine royale britannique et la la Marine royale néozélandaise dans l’histoire nationale et militaire de la Nouvelle-Zélande, une relation qui a commencé tôt dans l’histoire de la colonie avec l’inclusion de la Nouvelle-Zélande dans le cadre de l’Empire britannique. Jusqu’à dans le courant du vingtième siècle, la Nouvelle-Zélande a maintenu des liens étroits avec la Marine britannique et a embrassé avec enthousiasme son rôle de soutien de l’empire, comme peuvent en témoigner les contributions nationales aux deux guerres mondiales. Pour commencer, l’auteur passera en revue les contributions et le développement d’une marine très distinctement néozélandaise. La dernière partie de l’article examine le développement d’après-guerre de la Marine néozélandaise et les principaux changements qu’elle a subis pour devenir la force qu’elle est en 2010. The history of the Royal New Zealand Navy is a progression of small steps from Empire to independence. The navy in New Zealand has followed a very different path when compared to the experience of Australia and Canada. This paper will explore the influence of such factors as the nation’s manpower and financial capacity to build a fleet, perception of New Zealand’s place within the Empire, a growing self-awareness post- 1945, domestic and party factional politics in the 1970s and 1980s, and finally a shift back to multilateralism and cooperation in the past two decades.

  • The Russian Navy Myth and Reality
    NAVY MYTH AND REALITY * ERIC MORRIS THE RUSSIAN NAVY MYTH AND REALITY ERIC MORRIS The modern Russian Navy has come a long way since its humiliating defeat at the hands of Admiral Togo at the Battle of Tsushima during the Russo-Japanese war. Although its naval history dates back to Peter the Great, Russia achieved little at sea in the first half of this cen- tury. The maritime role was subordi- nated by doctrine and circumstances to the needs of land warfare. Since 1945 the Russian navy has be- come an increasingly important instru- ment of Soviet foreign policy. Eric Morris examines this development and shows how Russia, in her dealings with the United States and other powers, has evolved a relationship which has moved away from the propaganda and confron- (Continued on back flap) (^(^ •5 <, p^ 5 £. r oci.' i. e-?^ The Russian Navy: Myth and ReaHty BA REN SEA ARCTIC OCEAN Azores / c >4 T Naval Bases 1 Kola Inlet, Munnansk HQ and main naval 20 Soviet Pacific Fleet HQ at Vladivostok: base for the Soviet Northern Fleet: 160 74 submarines and 57 major surface submarines and 56 major surface warships warships 2 Baltic Fleet based on Kronshtadt and HQ 21 Sovetskaya Gavan at Baltiysk: 12 submarines 47 major and 22 Petropavlovsk surface warships 8 Crimea base complex: Odessa, Nikolayev, Naval base facilities Sevastopol.

In his recent visit and during the flights to and from India and Nepal, Lord Mountbatten wrote his reminiscences as a Communicator. The majority of his article was then typed by the Prince of Wales’ Staff in his aeroplane. We are therefore especially grateful to Lord Mountbatten, for having been so unstinting in bis time and effort and letting us share with him some of his communication memories.
