  • 4 R.A.N. SHIPS OVERSEAS to JUNE 194 0 URING the First Ten Months Of
    CHAPTER 4 R.A.N. SHIPS OVERSEAS TO JUNE 194 0 URING the first ten months of the war, those Australian ships not D retained on the home station were employed in Imperial dispositions in widely separated areas . The first six months found Perth in Central American waters, mainly engaged in the dual task of protecting trade — especially the important tanker traffic in the Caribbean—and preventin g the escape of German merchant ships sheltering in neutral ports of th e islands and the Isthmus . Last of the three expansion-program cruiser s acquired from Britain, she had commissioned at Portsmouth on the 29th June 1939 as H .M.A. Ship under "Fighting Freddie " Farncomb, a studious , coolly-efficient officer whose nickname, bestowed during the war, reflected the confidence and esteem of the lower deck . Perth sailed from Portsmouth on the 26th July for Australia via th e Panama Canal, and reached New York, where she represented Australi a at the World Fair, on the 4th August. On the 21st of the month, after twelve days of American hospitality, she arrived at Kingston, Jamaica, an d was to have sailed for Panama on the 23rd, but in the early morning o f that date Farncomb received a signal sent to the Admiralty by the Com- mander-in-Chief, America and West Indies—Vice-Admiral Meyrick' — asking that Perth might remain on the station . Farncomb thereupon can- celled his sailing arrangements, thus anticipating an Admiralty signa l received later in the day directing him to "return Kingston and awai t further orders " .

  • The Stones of London's War Memorials
    Urban Geology in London No. 23 The Stones of London’s War Memorials ‘If I should die, think only this of me; That there’s some corner of a foreign field That is forever England’ The Soldier, Rupert Brooke (1887-1915) Memorial at the Tower of London for the centenary of the outbreak of WWI: 'Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red' by ceramicist Paul Cummins. The opening lines of Rupert Brooke’s famous poem (above) illustrates muCh of the sentiments assoCiated with the design of war memorials and war graves. It has beCome traditional, on the most part, for stones representing the soldiers’ Countries of origin to be used in memorials ConstruCted to Commemorate them. For example, the war memorials commemorating the British Forces killed during WWI in FranCe and Belgium, such as Thiepval and the Menin Gate, are built from briCk, with piers, vaults, Columns and the panels bearing the insCriptions of names in Portland Stone. As we will see below, stones have been imported from all over the World to Commemorate the soldiers from those Countries who fought in the European theatres of the first half of the 20th Century. Indeed there are Corners of foreign fields, or in faCt London, that are forever Australian, Canadian or Maltese. Many of the War Memorials and their stones Catalogued below have been previously desCribed in other Urban Geology in London Guides. These inClude the memorials in the viCinity of Hyde Park Corner (Siddall & Clements, 2013), on the ViCtoria Embankment (Siddall & Clements, 2014) and the Malta Memorial near the Tower of London (Siddall, 2014).

  • Settled History?
    Settled history? (Fifth draft 19 August 2015) Andrzej Kozlowski The University of Warsaw The battle A battle is being waged over a obscure episode in the history of the War in the Pacific involving two close allies of the United States, which has been having a damaging effect on US foreign policy while largely escaping the attention of the US public. The dispute concerns the so called “comfort women”, a euphemism for military prostitutes (or, as one of the competing versions would have it, “sex slaves”) used by the Japanese military during the Second World War. The battle ground has largely been the United States, both at local and national levels. The weapons are monuments [LADN] being built in various parts of the United States, newspaper articles and lately school textbooks and the strategic aim is a long term influence on American public opinion. The Texbook Controversy The latest episode in this ongoing struggle involves a McGraw-Hill school history textbook, authored by a J.H Bentley and F. Ziegler [BZ]. Here is how the Wall Street Journal [WSJ1] presented this story: In December, Japan’s foreign ministry asked U.S. publishing company McGraw-Hill Education to alter the Ziegler textbook’s description of Japan’s “comfort women” program during the war. That prompted a letter of protest from a group of prominent U.S. historians. 2 Unfortunately the offending passage is not quoted and neither is the letter of the protesting historians, who are described as “prominent” although it is not clear in which areas of history and how related they are to the matter in dispute.

  • Marine Nuclear Power 1939 – 2018 Part 1 Introduction
    Marine Nuclear Power: 1939 – 2018 Part 1: Introduction Peter Lobner July 2018 1 Foreword In 2015, I compiled the first edition of this resource document to support a presentation I made in August 2015 to The Lyncean Group of San Diego (www.lynceans.org) commemorating the 60th anniversary of the world’s first “underway on nuclear power” by USS Nautilus on 17 January 1955. That presentation to the Lyncean Group, “60 years of Marine Nuclear Power: 1955 – 2015,” was my attempt to tell a complex story, starting from the early origins of the US Navy’s interest in marine nuclear propulsion in 1939, resetting the clock on 17 January 1955 with USS Nautilus’ historic first voyage, and then tracing the development and exploitation of marine nuclear power over the next 60 years in a remarkable variety of military and civilian vessels created by eight nations. In July 2018, I finished a complete update of the resource document and changed the title to, “Marine Nuclear Power: 1939 – 2018.” What you have here is Part 1: Introduction. The other parts are: Part 2A: United States - Submarines Part 2B: United States - Surface Ships Part 3A: Russia - Submarines Part 3B: Russia - Surface Ships & Non-propulsion Marine Nuclear Applications Part 4: Europe & Canada Part 5: China, India, Japan and Other Nations Part 6: Arctic Operations 2 Foreword This resource document was compiled from unclassified, open sources in the public domain. I acknowledge the great amount of work done by others who have published material in print or posted information on the internet pertaining to international marine nuclear propulsion programs, naval and civilian nuclear powered vessels, naval weapons systems, and other marine nuclear applications.
