A deep submarine escape exercise thai lertChief Petty Officer Al Henry with two bursteardrums has been followed with a commenda­tion for courage.

The bitter-sweet SIOry 01 Ch,cl coxswain Henry'sescape from the Royal Navy submarine 1-IMS OTUSwas played out in Bjornafjorden, Norway, last year.

CPO Henry was on exchange with the RN 81 thetime, and now back with the RAN, is about to jOinHMASOTAMA.

Details of CPO Henry's Involvement In the escapeexercise were: documented in a Flag Officer Sub­marines commendation.

The Commander Australian Submarine Squadron,Captain K.F. Pill, presented CPO Henry with thecommendation at clear lower de('k.

The commendation s.lId the escapcrs exposedthemselves again aDd again 10 CXlreme hazards forthe benefit of Iheir fellow submanners.

Aim of the uercise was 10 demonslrate the effec­tiveness of the submarine to\Oo'er escape system fromits maJIimum deplh of 180m.

At ISOm the CJrercise was suspended when the 151hman ruplUrcd his stomadt and burst an eardrum.

At this stage five escapers lIl'Cre still to ascend from150m.

All five men volunteered to conlinue dcsptte theaccident and~ their C$C3JlCS thai evenmg as 500Q

as the compression chamber was once more available.Of these, one had serious flooding of his hood and

~ned Symploms of nitrogen narcosis and anolherburst both his eardT\lms.* As reponed in a previous edilion of NavyNews, one of those .....ho made Ihis sUoDCeSllful attemptwas Lieutenant John Caner of the RAN's subm.arillC'escape lower at HMAS STIRLING. Officer-in­charge of the tower, Lieutenant Commander JohnStanbury, also made an escape from the submarine at'lOm.

As a result of Ihi5 day's problems, $ix men werewithdrawn leaving 14 to go from 180m.

TerminatedOn the final day two escapers made their ascents

from 180m, eslablishing a new world record.However, both men experienced further severe

problems and it was considered that the risks to theremaining 12 escapers could not be justified and theexercise was terminated.

Nevenheless all 12 were still prepared to go and ex­pressed extreme disappointment.

CPO Henry escaped from the submarine at 120m.He said the pressure was severe and it was dark."bloody dark-.

He said making the ascent ilself was nOI too bad;the difficult pan was the pressure equalisation.

The pressure left CPO Henry with two burst ear­drums and IWO months of tOlal deafness. Ilis carshave since healed and his hearing returned.

CPO Henry saKI he YOIuntccrcd for the escape 50 hemuId practise whal he prc:ached. Now the men of HMASOTAMA are aOOullo benefil from his~.

De!ipile popular belie( thai the Betl has aD up­dated AWbile dolhirte van, the RAN bas now re­ceived tbe lone awailed, .almost mythic:al MobileCombat SYS1eaas' Trainer,

"The Combat System Trainer was manuflCtured by AAIcorponuion at Baltimore, Maryland. USA under theforeign military sales agreement between RAN and USN.

The Combat Systems Trainer is a mobile 12m, 17 tonnevan which houses a 32 bit Gould computer, specialisedsimulation hardware and sensor connection cables.

The trainer is connc:c1ed to the ship by a series of con­nector cables that interfltCe the ship's sensors and thespecialised simulation hardware.

1besc sensors include search and fire control radar:s. EWsystems, and onsl'tip motion systems.

1lle trainer stimulates (as opposed to simulates).1besc sensol$ an: able to pro,·ide a multi-threat simu­

lated combat environment.1lle Combat Systems Trainer provides versatile, realistic

exercises to train operations and weapons crew personnelaboard FFG and RAN DOG classes of ship.

1llc: exercises arc set in a tactical environment m whichair, surface, and submarine vehicles and associatedweapon emitters may be detecled by the appropriate ship'ssensors.

"The environment creates dynam~, interaClive combattraining for combat system teams in AAW, ASUW. EWand command and control.

Dunnt: a training mission wilh the: trainer, the ship maybe placed in any world geot;raphical area inside onetilousand square miles up to 4S,<XXlm altitude, down to adepth of 6Om.

Appropriate land mass aren may be selected dependmgon the training requirements of the ships.

Environmental condilions such as rain, wind, and seastate can be simulated,

All vehides (air, surface, subsurface) physical anddynamic characteristies are very accurately modelled.

Each training mission is controlled from the trainerutilising pre-programmed scenarios.

Vehicular manoeuvering, offensive or defensive, canalso be eorurolled by an instroetor in the trainer.

Organic or area operational aircraft are abo exercised byincluding a specialised positioa for controlling simulatedair platforms from the trainer.

Scenarios are developed to concentrate on spccirlC war­fare areas as required by the ship or operatton authority.

The trainer has the ability to complement existing RANtraming systems and provide exeellent continuous lrainingfor FFG and DOG operational crews.

At prescnt the trainer is in the final stages of contraClualacceptance trials and is expected to be fully operational

The estimated total ollliay of S7.658 million by theDepanmenl of Defence In 1988·89 represents a real growthof 0.5 per cent. (2.~ per cent of Gross Domestic ProdUCI and3OOu19.3 per cent of total Common..'calth Budget outlay.)

MAIN PRIORITIESMr Beazley said the main pnonties were to:

• Improve mnditions for Service pe~nnel and theirfamilies. including housing~

• Maintain investment spending - mcluding expenditureon capllal equipment and capilal facilities - at about 30 per«nt of tOlal Defence spendmg. m line with the Go\'em­ment's commitment to longer-term capability improvementas P'lrt of the Defence self·reliance policy;• Pursue a wide range of efficiencies and rationalisation inthe areas of logistics, facilities and the use of civilian person­nel; and• Continue the rationalisation of Defence factories and dock­yards,
