  • Civilians: the Fulcrum for a Modern Fleet
    Chief of Navy Essay Competition The Youth Division (MacDougall Prize) Civilians: The Fulcrum for a Modern Fleet “We need to think differently […] by reviewing our basic operating concepts, reimagining the way that Navy should view itself in the twenty-first century, re-examining our assumptions and, most importantly, re-engineering our modus operandi…”1 – Vice Admiral Tim Barrett AO CSC RAN On 3rd September 1939 Australia declared war on Germany and by 1941 was seeking innovative ways to sustain the war effort at sea. This need served as the genesis of two important augmentations to the Royal Australian Navy (RAN): the Women’s Royal Australian Naval Service (WRANS) in April2 and the Naval Auxiliary Patrol (NAP) that June3. This essay will briefly identify the role played by the aforementioned services in supplementing an RAN stretched for resources before identifying similar challenges in the Navy of today. It will then explore the possibility of rectifying this by increasing the use of civilian support across the RAN, such as through the introduction of a modern Australian Fleet Auxiliary. Spread across the globe, the RAN realised it would need to do everything it could to maximise the availability of her sailors and warships while continuing to maintain a suitable presence on the home front. For this reason, both the WRANS and NAP would target those not eligible to serve in conflict at sea. Officer Commanding Sydney Naval Establishments Commodore Muirhead-Gould was quoted by the Sydney Morning Herald on the 4th November 1941 as saying the NAP “would not release any member from any other kind of service under the laws of the Commonwealth” and that, while “applications for enrolment were being received from unmarried men under 35 […] these men could be enrolled in the patrol only if they were in reserve occupations or medically unfit”4.

  • March 2018 We Began Our Year with a Very
    Victorian Chapter President's Musings – March 2018 We began our year with a very interesting illustrated address by CMDR Matthew Hoffman RAN, the XO of HMAS CERBERUS. CMDR Hoffman told us of his Naval career to date and left us in no doubt as to the importance and effectiveness of our submarine force in respect of the overall defence of our nation. Our speaker on March 26th is WWII veteran Pamela Nichols who enlisted in the WRANS in 1943. Check out the flyer for further information. You definitely won't want to miss it! Please don't turn up for our April meeting on the 23rd, as it is now being held on April 30th! What we have in store for you on the 30th is well worth waiting another week for! ANZAC VOICES GALLIPOLI – From those who were there! Anzac Voices is the story of Gallipoli, told by the Diggers who lived through it: regular troops, senior commanders, stretcher bearers, signal operators, a nurse and a Turkish general, as well as Australia's official war correspondent, Charles Bean. We will hear disc one of a two disc set on ABC Classic's CD 481-1626. It is available for purchase from ABC shops, and well worth buying for your children or grandchildren! ANZAC Day itself is a very special day to all of us, and this year is even more special for the members of the NHS of A, as leading the Melbourne march at 0900 are a father and son, who are both currently serving in our Royal Australian Navy.

  • Beyond Plan Pelorus the Royal Australian Navy's Future Strategy Will See It Acquire More Capable Individual Platforms but Also Gain Capability at the Task Force Level
    ihs.com Jane's Defence Weekly [Content preview – Subscribe to IHS Jane’s Defence Weekly for full article] Beyond Plan Pelorus The Royal Australian Navy's future strategy will see it acquire more capable individual platforms but also gain capability at the task force level. Julian Kerr reports Reflecting both the introduction of new capabilities and improvements in platform support, by 2018 the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) anticipates regularly generating and deploying self-contained naval task groups capable of accomplishing the full spectrum of maritime security operations. Under Plan Pelorus, released in April and spelling out the chief of the navy's three-year strategic intent, the RAN will seek the ability to establish sea control in two geographical locations and, after an initial surge, maintain one location of local sea control. Presumably at least partially driven by the escort needs of the RAN's new 27,500-ton Canberra-class landing helicopter docks (LHDs), Plan Pelorus moves the operational emphasis from independent units to grouping together the combat capability of ships in task groups.

  • Call the Hands
    CALL THE HANDS Issue No.24 October 2018 From the President Welcome to this month’s issue of Call the Hands. Our aim is to provide members and the community with news of contemporary and historical events as well as information on services provided by the Society. These services are best accessed through our comprehensive website and Facebook page. The arrival of the Royal Australian Navy’s second Hobart-class air warfare destroyer, NUSHIP Brisbane in Sydney on 10 September reminds us not just of Australia’s significant warship building program (3 destroyers, 12 submarines, 9 frigates and 12 Offshore Patrol Vessels) but the significance of the RAN in world terms. Ranked 54th in terms of vessel numbers the RAN is ranked 21st in terms of capability according to the annual Global Fire Power review. The fleet, unlike many navies maintains a busy schedule of strategically significant operations, exercises and engagement activities which help shape Australia’s international relations and our history in the longer term. Recent examples include the Indo-Pacific Endeavour tour by HMA Ships Adelaide and Toowoomba and Success to south west Pacific countries and current north-east Asia deployment by HMA Ships Huon and Gascoyne, the longest deployment for Mine Hunter Coastals to date. Such deployments are fundamental to relations with Australia’s regional neighbours. Linked to deployments of this nature was the 5 September announcement by the Minister for Australian foreign affairs to establish a ‘Pacific Fusion Centre’. This centre will analyse information to strengthen maritime awareness and provide information to Pacific decision makers responding to security threats, such as illegal fishing, people smuggling and narcotics trafficking.

  • Issue 48, December 2020
    From the President Welcome to this edition of Call the Hands, our last in the Society’s 50th anniversary year. It includes a variety of short articles which are connected through various themes including the RAN’s first ship, HMAS Parramatta (I) and her namesakes. Another connection is the shared anniversary of the Naval Association of Australia (NAA) celebrating its 100th anniversary. Accordingly, we acknowledge our many readers who are members of the NAA. Their service in the RAN (past and present) has contributed to the history of Australia’s great Navy. The Society’s close connection with Parramatta (I) stems from the not insignificant project to recover her bow and stern sections from a Hawksbury River mudflat. These sections are now prominently displayed in Sydney. Additional information about this fascinating project recently came to light and has been published in the December Naval Historical Review now being distributed to members. We also feature a recent NAA commemorative service for HMAS Parramatta (II) and recognition of the commissioning commanding officer of HMAS Parramatta (III), Rear Admiral Guy Griffiths RAN, Rtd. Many interesting and sometimes obscure naval stories remain untold. Occasional paper 97 is a good example. It is the story of a small party of sailors landed in Arnhem Land from HMAS Fremantle (I) in 1958 to observe Japanese pearl fishing operations. This story was shared by Eric Deshon with Australian National Maritime Museum’s oral history volunteers and published in the ANMM’s volunteer newsletter ‘All Hands’ in June 2018. Recording historic events on canvas has been a traditional art form which continues today.
