SENIOR RAN and APS personnel were updated on developments with the Strategic Reform Program (SRP) ldquoDelivering Force 2030rdquo by the Chief of Navy VADM Russ Crane AO CSM RAN when he visited HMAS Kuttabul on February 12

CN provided an update on the SRP before opening the floor to questions which lead to a frank discussion about the importance of the SRP in order to finance Force 2030 and give the ADF the capability it needs

VADM Crane said the SRP would fundamentally overhaul the entire Defence enterprise producing efficien-cies and creating savings of about $20 billion over 10 years

He said the cost savings would help the Government procure new capa-bilities for Force 2030 such as AWDs future frigates future submarines amphibious ships offshore combatant vessels naval combat helicopters and other advanced enabling capabilities over the next 20 years

ldquoSRP is about deep reform not just about saving money it is about achiev-ing our future capabilityrdquo VADM Crane said

CN said the savings would be achieved through more efficient main-tenance techniques and the introduc-tion of continuous improvement across Navy improving the way Defence undertakes its human resources man-

agement redesigning its work prac-tices and introducing a new integrated workforce management system in the form of shared services

ldquoEveryone of us must commit to the SRP for Navy and the ADF to real-ise Force 2030rdquo he said

Accountability for implementation will be devolved to the line leadership responsible for each area of reform but will be coordinated centrally through the SRP and underpinned by clear per-formance measures and milestones

Deputy Chief of Navy RADM Davyd Thomas told the senior Navy and APS officials that the RAN must develop a real sense of urgency about the SRP or there will not be enough money to fund Force 2030

ldquoNew Generation Navy is the ena-bler for our change in course as well as the platform for SRP successrdquo RADM Thomas said

ldquoOur job each and every one of us is to ensure that we contribute to the best of our ability through cost con-scious behaviour to identify and drive reforms so that the Navy can grow its future capabilityrdquo

SRP is Navyrsquos signature behaviours put into practice to Make people accountable for out-

comes Drive cost conscious behaviour by

understanding the cost of doing business

Editorial apologyTHE editorial team wishes to apologise for publishing an incorrect photo on page 3 of Volume 53 Number 2 which displayed the French LHD rather than the Spanish version of the ship the RAN has chosen to meet Navyrsquos future capability needs

Strengthen relationships beyond and across Navy (build trust)

Develop a culture of continuous improvement and reform-focused culture in all of your workplacesldquoPeople will be held account-

able for the funds and resources that they use and must be as careful with Government funding as they are with their own moneyrdquo

He said important savings could be

achieved by reducing waste at all lev-els because waste steals from future capability

IN BRIEF

THE Government has given first pass approval for a major project to provide the ADF with a new naval combat helicopter

Project AIR 9000 Phase 8 is included in the Defence Capability Plan to provide naval warships with a new combat helicopter

Defence Minister John Faulkner said two potential helicopters had been identified

ldquoThe Government has decided that the new helicopter will be either the Sikorsky-Lockheed Martin built MH-60R sourced through the United States Navy or the NATO Helicopter Industries NH90 NFH sourced

through Australian Aerospacerdquo Senator Faulkner said

Senator Faulkner said that a com-petition would be held between the two helicopter options which would be cost-capped by the Defence Materiel Organisation through the tender process

ldquoThe new naval combat helicopter will enhance the RANrsquos ability to conduct a range of maritime opera-tions It will be capable of undertak-ing anti-submarine warfare and will be equipped with air-to-surface mis-silesrdquo he said

ldquoThis fleet of combat helicopters will form the centerpiece of naval combat aviation to beyond 2040

ldquoThe new helicopter will greatly extend the eyes and ears of our sur-face fleet and allow the conduct of combat and support operations in the complex and demanding maritime environment

ldquoThey will replace the current fleet of Seahawk anti-submarine war-fare helicopters and fill an operational need left by the cancellation of the Seasprite projectrdquo

The procurement of the new naval combat helicopters as a matter of urgency was announced in the 2009 Defence White Paper Sufficient heli-copters will be acquired to provide at least eight helicopters concurrent-ly embarked on ships at sea which

under the White Paper requires a fleet of 24 helicopters

ldquoThe competitive process will begin in the next few months with the Government making a final decision about the new helicopter in 2011rdquo Senator Faulkner said

ldquoThis schedule will enable the new helicopters to be delivered from 2014

ldquoAny decision Government makes in 2011 will take into account all rel-evant considerations including capa-bility cost interoperability with other ADF capabilities Australian indus-try opportunities risk and value for moneyrdquo Senator Faulkner said

THE day was Saturday July 21 1984 The place Todd Pacific Shipyards Seattle USA It was commissioning day for the RANrsquos frigate HMAS Darwin

The baby in his fatherrsquos arms was blissfully ignorant of the pomp and ceremony of the occasion But that day was a busy one for tradition with a christening to take place as well CPO Peter Cucilovic passed the infant over to Principal Chaplain Jones and watched as his son became the first baby christened with water from the upturned shiprsquos bell

Fast forward 25 years and the young baby made his second visit to Darwin as ABCIS Michael Cucilovic Posted to the ship in late 2009 AB Cucilovic joined Darwin as she returned home from her south-east Asia deployment and is now busy along with the rest of the shiprsquos company with the Navyrsquos Fleet Concentration Period (FCP) off the eastern seaboard of Australia

The elder Cucilovic who was part of Darwinrsquos commissioning crew retired from the Navy in 1986 after 20 years service

ABCIS Cucilovic joined the Navy in 2003 and has served as commissioning crew himself aboard Nuship Toowoomba He also par-ticipated in HMAS Toowoombarsquos 2007 Gulf deployment in support of Operation Catalyst

ldquoIrsquove heard the first baby chris-tened using a shiprsquos bell can lay claim to that bell once the ship is decommissionedrdquo ABCIS Cucilovic said

Although hersquos not sure if that part of tradition is observed by the RAN he certainly has the bell in his sights

ldquoSomewhere in the future when Darwin is decommissioned Irsquoll be asking the questionrdquo

According to the younger Cucilovic there wonrsquot be any power struggles for the bell with his dad

ldquoIf we are presented with the bell it will be safe at mum and dadrsquos house in Ballina Probably over the bar at homerdquo

Bells have a centuries-long tradi-tion of varied use in the navies and merchant fleets of the world They were historically used for signalling

keeping time and sounding alarms fulfilling an important role in shiprsquos routine and readiness

Originating in the Royal Navy the custom to baptise a child using water from the shiprsquos bell continues to this day Once the baptism is con-ducted the childrsquos name is inscribed inside the bell

Baptisms with or consecrations in the presence of a shiprsquos bell were

important in times past because ves-sels were considered to be sovereign territory Those ceremonies con-ducted for babies born at sea or in foreign ports usually guaranteed cit-izenship to the infants of the country where the ship was registered

Change at the topAFTER ensuring a successful Standard Missile 2 test firing from HMAS Melbourne on December 8 CMDR Allison Norris handed over the sym-bolic telescope of command to CMDR Michael Harris on December 9

CMDR Norris who assumed com-mand of the ship on July 4 2008 was farewelled by her shiprsquos company in true style conducting a ceremonial drive-past in a limousine as the crew

lined the shiprsquos side for a farewell ldquohoo-rahrdquo

Note Navy News wishes to apologise for publishing incorrect information in Volume 53 Number 1 which said the date of the test-firing was December 18 This was due to incorrect information provided We apologise for any inconvenience caused as a result

THE Navy attracted large crowds with Reserve Dive Team 10 and an A109 Agusta helicopter from 723 Squadron as they supported the Royal Hobart Regatta on the weekend of February 6-8

The RAN Band Tasmania Detachment entertained the public while Dive Team 10 engaged the public with their diving display

The two newest members of the dive team SMN Luke Shea and SMN Anthony Graham were both kept busy talking to people about the gear they use and dive opera-tions

A large crowd gathered to watch SMN Graham winched from the water by the A109 Agusta in an impressive display of Navy search and rescue operations

After the display the A109 dropped into the regatta grounds for members of the public to view

The A109 crew of LEUT Richard Groves SBLT Rob

McBeath and LS Richard Close were assisted in crowd control by Navy Community Engagement Program (NCEP) representatives

Reservist LEUT Lisa Haynes organised the NCEP team who were all kept busy with crowd control and handing out Navy merchandise to regatta patrons

ldquoTwelve Reservists helped out over the weekend with all sorts of different activities from manning stalls to showing children how to tie knotsrdquo LEUT Haynes said

A more serious side to the fes-tival weekend was collecting dona-tions for local charity St Giles an organisation catering for disabled children

The Tasmanian Detachment of the RAN Band played to a large crowd on the lawns of Hobartrsquos Parliament House while NCEP rep-resentatives collected donations for St Giles

LEUT Haynes said the charity concert raised more than $860 for the organisation

THE ADF provides Assisted Reproductive Services (ARS) to support families where there is an underlying medical reason for infertility

Defencersquos policy in relation to assisted reproduction services was introduced in March 2003 and states that standard medical services for the baseline inves-tigation of infertility will be provided to members at the ADFrsquos expense

With regard to specific ARS those services covered by Medicare are provid-ed to the member at the ADFrsquos expense This includes general expenses associated with the treatments such as anaesthetic fees hospital expenses and gynaecolo-gist fees

Defence covers both the Medicare fee and the gap for the specific ARS author-ised by Joint Health Command Defence does not fund any items not covered by Medicare

ADF personnel who wish to store semen before deployment may do so at their own expense Sixty-one semen sam-ples were stored during 2008 and 2009

Some health officers approved 12 requests for semen freezing and storage for ADF members before deployment This was not in line with the current Defence policy

Ten samples were removed from storage in consultation with the relevant ADF personnel when they returned from deployment Two samples will remain in storage in Darwin until the personnel return to Australia At that time the indi-viduals will be given the option to have the sample destroyed or stored at their own expense

There are broader legal issues that must also be considered in regard to this issue This is a very sensitive matter and Defence continues to take all reasonable steps to ensure the health and welfare of Defence personnel

SirI recently conducted my personal

information audit and noticed that I had forfeited leave some time over my career Firstly how is it legal for the ADF to take leave from me Secondly how can I lose leave without being informed

For most of us it is the RANrsquos operational tempo that dictates when and for how long we can take leave Contrary to popular belief personnel are still posting off HMA Ships with excessive leave credits due to minimum manning (dutywatch storing ammu-nitioning etc) and shipsrsquo operational tempos

ndash CPOCSM Artie Lavender CSOPTCT Career Manager

DSCM

Dear CPO LavenderClause 5227 of the Pay and

Conditions Manual (PACMAN) gives details of how and when leave cred-its expire (lapse) as described in your query

The purpose of leave is to pro-vide respite from work and ideally leave ought to be taken in the year in which it accrues Leave can be taken at times mutually agreed but clearly in a military environment operational demands will from time to time pre-

clude the taking of leave when a mem-ber wants to

Leave that is not used within three years of the end of the leave year in which it is accrued will expire CN is the only person who may approve extension of carry over of leave (for one year) beyond the three years because of the importance placed on taking adequate leave to achieve prop-er rest

You should regularly check your leave entitlement and use it or seek approval to carry it over before it laps-es PACMAN places the onus on you to check your entitlements If you are not sure about your entitlements use your divisional chain to get an answer CN does not make a decision to carry over leave lightly and it is open to him to require you to take it rather than carry it over

The ADF provision on leave lapsing is more generous than the industrial norm (most Industrial Awards normal-ly have leave lapsing after two years) in recognition of the unique nature of military service

Perth begins ASMD upgradeBy CAPT Rob Elliott

ANZAC class frigate HMAS Perth has begun the installation phase of her Anti-Ship Missile Defence (ASMD) system upgrade at the Australian Maritime Complex in Henderson Western Australia

Perth is the first Anzac class ship to receive the ASMD upgrade which will provide an enhanced self defence capability under ASMD project SEA 1448 Phase 2

The upgrade will integrate the latest generation of 3D phased array radar target illumination and missile up-link radar IR search and tracking system and updated navigation radar with the upgraded 9LV combat management system

The upgrade will also give the Anzac frigates the ability to offer close-in protection to amphibious and other high value units supporting the Navyrsquos future AWD area defence capa-bility and providing inner layer protec-tion to task groups

Speaking at the Pacific 2010 International Maritime Exposition Defence Personnel Materiel and Science Minister Greg Combet said the upgrade involved considerable techni-cal and integration risk

ldquoItrsquos a credit to the developmental capabilities of Australian industry and to persistent management by Defence that we now have sufficient confidence to install these systemsrdquo Mr Combet said

HMAS Perth entered the upgrade facility at Henderson on January 18

for the work that will involve major alterations to the forward and aft masts The most obvious differences will be the replacement of the aft mast with an entirely new structure that will hold the six panelled 3D phased array radar and the four panelled illumina-tion radar

NEWLY appointed Northern Territory Police Commissioner John McRoberts has visited Northern Command and toured HMAS Maitland

The February 15 visit enabled the Commissioner to gain an appre-ciation of the workings of Defence and to discuss future exercises and opportunities where Defence and NT Police may be called upon to work together

Commissioner McRoberts said it was important for NT Police and the ADF to work closely together in incident management and for NT Police and ADF leadership to have close and effective working relation-ships

ldquoWe are now moving into an all-hazards approachrdquo Commissioner McRoberts said

ldquoIt doesnrsquot really matter whether itrsquos a response to a cyclone flooding or a building collapse our approach is very much the same

ldquoThere is nobody else in the NT who has the physical and human assets like the ADF that will come in and give us a handrdquo

Commander Northern Command CDRE Dave Gwyther said Defence

DIRECTOR General Naval Health Services CDRE Robyn Walker recently paid a visit to the HMAS Kuttabul-based Fleet Health Support Unit (FHSU) to meet with personnel and gain an insight into how the unit is providing health support to sailors

FHSU evolved significantly last year in line with New Generation Navy and now has an increased focus on the health support role it provides to the Fleet

The incorporation of the Maritime Role 2 Enhanced (MR2E) deployable health capability into FHSU and the establishment of a formal clinical gov-ernance program have both signifi-cantly improved Navy health prepar-

edness and evidence-based best-prac-tice health care at sea

During the visit CDRE Walker was briefed by Fleet Medical Officer CMDR Sarah Sharkey manager of Fleet Health Preparedness CMDR Ken Walters and Fleet Dental Officer LCDR Peter Case

CDRE Walker also welcomed the newly-promoted WO John Brady who had just assumed the role of FWOMED within the STG-MFU organisation

WO Brady has taken over the role from myself Coincidentally Medical Category Advisor WOMED Brett Keogh was also visiting Fleet and this created a rare photo opportunity to capture five underwater medicine stal-warts together in the same locality

THE generous sailors of HMAS Cerberus (CAPT Mark Hill) have helped raised more than $1500 to assist the victims of the Samoan tsunami that devasted communities last September

Clothing was collected at Cerberus late last year together with a tin shake by the Rotary Club of Hastings dur-ing the 2009 Open Day on October 25 which raised the money to fund a con-tainer that will be sent to the affected communities

The Western Port Secondary College and local business Bowens PL with assistance from Hastings Rotary recently packed a 20-foot container with clothes uniforms school desks and chairs as well as a variety of other useful mate-rials to go to Samoa Once there the Samoan Lions Club will distribute the goods to those most in need

CAPT Hill said the fundraising was a real demonstration of international good will with everyone working together to assist those in need

CPOCK Richard Currie has been recognised with a Conspicuous Service Cross (CSC) during Australia Day celebrations in HMAS Cairns

Having previously received two CO Commendations from HMA Ships Dubbo and Success CPO Currie was very surprised by the award

As the food services manager of HMAS Cairns he was nominated for outstanding achievement as the Category Services Manager Fleet Logistic Support Element for the provision of catering services and training

CPO Currie has been responsible for providing support to Cairns as well as the 14 ships home ported there

He continued a high level of sup-port throughout the disruptions of the Cairns redevelopment project while providing divisional support to his junior cooks

CPO Currie said the award really belonged to his cooks because with-out their hard work and camaraderie none of his support could have been possible

He has cooked for former Chief of Navy VADM David Shackleton as well as former Prime Minister John Howard and will travel to Brisbane later in the year to receive his award from the Governor of Queensland Penelope Wensley

DEFENCE is a key player in a ground-breaking program that aims to make workplaces more responsive to the needs of gay lesbian bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people

Launched in Sydney on February 10 Pride in Diversity is an initiative aimed at supporting organisations to provide LGBT employees with a framework of diversity policies and practices that specifically support them

D i r e c t o r R i g h t s a n d Responsibilities in Fairness and Resolution Branch Peter Sullivan said Defence was excited to have been invited to become a foundation mem-ber of the program

ldquoThis is another plank in our com-mitment to providing an inclusive workplace for all Defence personnelrdquo Mr Sullivan said

ldquoWe are proud to be associated with other organisations known as leaders in promoting diversity across the boardrdquo

D e f e n c e G a y a n d L e s b i a n Information Service Chairperson CPO Stuart OrsquoBrien said that as a member of the RAN he was honoured to be present at the launch and to be part of Pride in Diversity

Pr ide in Divers i ty Director Dawn Hough said the program was Australiarsquos first employer support pro-gram for the inclusion of LGBT peo-ple

ldquoResearch shows that up to 60 per cent of LGBT people experience some form of harassment at work during their careersrdquo Ms Hough said

ldquoThatrsquos four times the rate of the general population The treatment that many LGBT people experience in the workplace can range from negative comments through to open abuse from both management and colleagues This causes many LGBT people to feel uncomfortable in their workplace which can significantly impair their performancerdquo

Ms Hough said fear of abuse or dis-crimination forced many LGBT people to hide their sexual orientation or gen-der identity while at work leading to an increase in anxiety or depression

ldquoItrsquos a very serious issue and employers across the board really need

Busy in the Gulf

By FLTLT Mick McGirr

HMAS Stuartrsquos crew recently assisted a local fishing vessel to get back on course in the Gulf of Oman by working through-out the day to repair the dhowrsquos broken rudder

In the early hours of February 22 Stuart was on a routine patrol when they detected a slow moving vessel in the area and closed to investigate

HMAS Stuartrsquos LEUT Peter Shirley said the crew quickly identified the cause of the dhowrsquos problems and developed a plan to assist the fisherman

After a long dayrsquos work the rudder was reassembled on Stuartrsquos quarterdeck and pronounced as lsquobetter than newrsquo before it was re-attached to the fishing vessel

ldquoThe rudder required woodwork as well as bracing with a custom made steel section taking approximately eight hoursrdquo LEUT Shirley said

ldquoThe crew of the fishing vessel were very thankful with their captain telling the repair crew lsquoI thank god that you are herersquo

ldquoThey had been limited in speed for three days before we arrived and were low on food in an area where fishing is scarcerdquo he said

HMAS Stuart interacts with multiple fishing and cargo ves-sels on a daily basis gaining valuable information on the patterns of life to assist in developing a greater understanding of move-ment in a region where the smuggling of narcotics is rife

The ship is operating in the Gulf region as part of Operation Slipper in order to ensure maritime security in the area She has been deployed to the Middle East Area of Operations since October last year

Many ventured and most were right when it came to cor-rectly identifying the most recent mystery ship Miss

January (appearing in the February 4 NN)

Irsquom a bit like the man from Mars in the world of mystery ships ndash short of knowledge about what is a real challenge Perhaps I need some good reference books

My predicament was most eloquently described by retired ancient mariner Dave Rickard from the Home of the Fringe Festival

ldquoIrsquom extremely disappointed by this monthrsquos choice of Mystery Ship Sirrdquo he says showing a talent for whinging set to eclipse that of the great and notorious lsquoGunsrsquo Manolas More of his response later

ILS Manager with the Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Project Mark Edmistone whorsquos usually spot on reck-ons Miss January is the late-rsquo40s Antarctic research vessel HMAS Wyatt Earp

Mark has lots of interesting informa-tion about Wyatt Earp ndash how she was built as a herring boat named Fanefford in the Bay of Biscay bought by American polar adventurer Lincoln Ellsworth as a support ship for his attempted flight across Antarctica between 1929 and 1933

As he says ldquoEllsworth refitted the ship and strengthened her hull for ice work with oak and armour plate He re-named her Wyatt Earp after his child-hood hero ndash the brave frontier marshal of Dodge City and Tombstone who typified for many the pioneer empire builders of the American West

ldquoSir Douglas Mawson was instrumen-tal in the Australian Government refitting of the vessel for an Antarctic exploration vessel in 1946 With a round-bottomed hull the Wyatt Earp had the reputation of being able to roll violently on wet grass

ldquoThe Wyatt Earp was only slightly bigger than Captain Cookrsquos Endeavour which visited Australia in 1770

ldquoJust out of Melbourne on her first ANARE exploration voyage the ship met a force 10 gale sustained considerable damage and everyone on board was vio-lently seasick Not an auspicious begin-ning

ldquoThwarted by mechanical problems bad weather and heavy ice Wyatt Earp finally approached within 30 miles of King George V land coast at Cape Grey

and visited the Balleny Islands Her com-mander Karl E Oom considered the Wyatt Earp to be too old too slow and too small for the task and commented lsquoNever have I known a vessel which could throw staff so violently from side to side She doesnrsquot even roll like a ladyrsquo

ldquoOn June 30 1948 Wyatt Earp ended her Antarctic career and was sold to the Arga Shipping Company She was re-named Wongala and later Natone and used as an Australian coastal trader She ran aground 150 miles north of Brisbane on January 24 1959 and was dashed to piecesrdquo

Sounds as if Wyatt Earp was no lady ndash certainly not a ship deserving of the title lsquoMissrsquo ndash more of an angry bronco when it came to attitude towards the crew in lumpy conditions

Fascinating stuff Mark ndash but no Miss January was not HMAS Wyatt Earp

Brian Mackenzie thought it might be an old lighthouse tender turned cable-layer

ldquoIs it HMAS Bangalowrdquo he asks ldquoIts description is that of a cable-layer type and the foredeck of the mystery ship appears to have three substantial cable reels on it Used as a small survey vessel and minesweeperrdquo

No itrsquos not BrianThe only other mystery-shipper to put

a foot wrong was the 83-year-old salt Mike Pollard

His first effort was ldquoI think Miss January is a Castle class trawler rigged for minesweeping Koraaga or Gunundaal Bit of a toss-up So Irsquoll pick Koraagardquo

But he corrected himself laterHonours for the speediest identifica-

tion of Miss January go to the indefati-gable (therersquos a good big word) CMDR Dave Goble He says ldquoMiss January is without doubt HMAS Kinchela She was an auxiliary boom defence vessel requi-sitioned by the RAN in 1942 She served in the Brisbane River until the end of the war when she was sold off for disposal She was arguably the slowest ship in the fleet thus the words lsquodead slowrsquo painted on her bowrdquo

Always accurate (and sometimes alliterated) analyst with SAPOL Alan Baddams was second in with the correct answer He says ldquoToo many clues the auxiliary boom defence vessel HMAS Kinchela was commissioned Kinchela was laid down in 1914 She was requi-sitioned for the RAN from her owners

ldquoThe photo itself Brisbane QLD 1944-03-15 Starboard bow view of the boom defence vessel HMAS Kinchela Painted on the side are the words Dead Slow (Naval Historical Collection)rdquo

Regular Mark Biega says Kinchela was one of 23 vessels taken over by the RAN in the WWII period He says that the wooden lighter had a gross weight of 370 tons that she measured 145 feet by 31 feet that her maximum speed was nine knots and she had two 5 inch machine guns one on each bridge wing

Another regular Reg Bonney says she was also armed with a 20mm Oerlikon gun

SQNLDR Jimbo Stewart says Kinchela was unoffi-cially re-christened Dead Slow by her shiprsquos company

POSE Jaffa Robinson says she was moored perma-nently in the Brisbane River at Fort Lytton after being requisitioned

Jules Smibert picked up on the clues I (quite unnec-essarily) offered He says ldquoMr John Kinchela was born in Kilkenny Ireland on January 1 1774 He served as Attorney-General of NSW from June 25 1831 to April 18 1836 The hamlet of Kinchela NSW (about 23km NW of Kempsey) is named after himrdquo

Others who deserve honours for correctly naming Kinchela are SO Fleet Ops Cerberus CMDR Graeme Furlonger Jason Simpson John Partington ex-commu-nicator (not papal chucker-outer) Harry Firth Richard Jones SBLT Steve Dunne ANC Harry Goodall Tony Woodland HMAS Albatrossrsquo CPO lsquoDogsrsquo Barker CMDR Les Roberts CAPT Steve Pearson John Gates CPOET Michael Wordsworth Gordon Branch ex-RO Sandy McNab CPOMW lsquoDaisyrsquo May (whorsquos apparently in Navy Ward at St Vincentrsquos Hospital) Dave Rickard lsquoGunsrsquo Manolas and ANZACSPO Techo Danny Grose

Irsquom indebted to lsquoGunsrsquo who rather than complaining on this occasion offers what could be a fresh insight into the Dead Slow emblazoned on Kinchelarsquos bow ldquoThe lsquoDead Slowrsquo is a navigational warning to passing vessels so as to assist the crew in Kinchela in their efforts work-ing cables and winches on deck etcrdquo he says

CPO lsquoDaisyrsquo May whorsquos currently adrift from HMAS Waterhen says hersquos lsquoalongsidersquo Navy Ward 8 St Vincentrsquos Hospital

ldquoIf (Kinchela) was anywhere near as slow as life in

(the village) Kinchelardquo he says ldquoshe was indeed dead slowhellipbit like spending time in St Vinniesrdquo

The last word belongs to Dave Rickard who appears to have temporarily usurped Gunsrsquo role as Chief Whinger ldquoIrsquom extremely disappointed in this monthrsquos choice of Mystery Ship Sir After much detective work I came to the conclusion that lsquoDead Slowrsquo was probably the old WWII requisitioned lighter HMAS Kinchela

ldquoThen just casually browsing through the late Ross Gillettrsquos superb book Australian amp New Zealand Warships there was exactly the same picture staring up at me That was the end of me feeling pretty chipper about being lsquoup to the challengersquo Thanks very muchrdquo Perhaps yoursquore English Dave That would explain your mastery in the art of whinging

Your remarks have been noted and Irsquove made a spe-cial effort with the help of Armyrsquos SGT David Morley to find a mystery ship thatrsquos unlikely to be in many of the usually reliable references

No matter where yoursquore going this Easter itrsquos important to make sure you your vehicle trailer caravan andor boat are in top condition Before going on a long trip it is advisable to book your

vehicle in for a thorough safety check by a reputable mechanic You should also run through the following checklists before you go

Are you ready for the Easter bunny

Check

Lights (headlights brake lights and indicators) are in working order

Wipers washers and horn oper-ate properly

Brake and clutch fluid levels and battery water level

The cooling system and hoses The oil levels (and check for

leaks) Tyres (including the spare) are

inflated to the pressure specified for your vehicle

Tread on your tyres is not worn down to the tread indicator

IT IS important to remember that tyres can deteriorate just as much when a vehicle stands for long periods as when it is being used As tyres age the sur-face rubber can deteriorate this means that an old tyre such as your spare has a greater chance of failure

Make sure you are well rest-ed for the day of travel Driver fatigue is a factor in one of five road fatalities

During peak holiday periods itrsquos important to be patient as there is likely to be extra traffic on the road

Give yourself extra time to get to your destination ndash itrsquos better to arrive safely and late than not at all Donrsquot be tempted to speed to catch up on any lost time Itrsquos simply not worth the risk

The Easter Holidays are meant to be fun But itrsquos no fun if yoursquore involved in a crash along the way It may seem obvious but a small amount of planning and prepara-tion before you set off gives you a better chance of a safe holiday

If towing ensure

The vehicle is suited to the type and size of trailer boat or cara-van

Loads are evenly distributed and properly restrained

Fittings couplings and safety chains are correctly fastened

Your vehicle trailer and caravan are roadworthy and registered

Your number plate and registra-tion stickers are not obscured

You are carrying only one trailer or caravan at a time

You dont overload

THE graph below depicts the total number of OHS Incident Reports (OHSIRs) over the past 12 months

OHSIRs are important as they high-light emerging incident trends allowing decision makers to prioritise resources By keeping an eye on these statistics we are also provided with an indication of the health of our reporting culture

Proactive and near miss OHSIRs (those where a hazard is identified but no-one is hurt) make up roughly 65 per cent of the total number of OHSIRs each month

Navy is averaging 100 OHSIRs a month and this is not a bad thing It shows Navy safety culture is improving as we take a more proactive approach by conducting rounds spotting hazards and reporting those near misses that could have so easily had a different outcome

The OHSIR system will continue to work as long as we are open and hon-est with our reporting Although some may see OHSIRs as a form of embar-rassment members are encouraged to put aside their fears and embrace the reporting culture Your mistake can help others learn and save lives

Keep reporting near misses

It is a good idea to give your smoke alarm a brief once over with a vacuum This will help remove any foreign particles that will hinder the smoke alarmrsquos performance

EVERY 12 MONTHSIt is recommended that smoke

alarms with a changeable battery are replaced annually If you have a mains-powered alarm check the manufacturerrsquos instructions as some may have batteries that donrsquot need replacing over the life of the alarm

EVERY 10 YEARSEvery 10 years you should

replace old smoke alarms They donrsquot last forever and their sensi-tivity reduces over time The pre-ferred method of disposal for smoke

alarms is to throw them out with your rubbish

To assist in identifying the age of smoke alarms the AS3786 standard requires a serial number or batch number This is usually done as a batch number ie 2406 may mean that the product was manufactured in the 24th week of 2006

Some manufacturers place the date of manufacture on the smoke alarm and some now place the expi-ry date on the alarm The batch num-bers or dates are usually on the base of the smoke alarm near the battery compartment

Remember when a house fire occurs only working alarms can provide you with the critical early warning needed to save lives

Smoke alarms save lives


Tips to remember

As soon as you get in the car put on your seat belt and make sure all passengers do the same Seat belts improve your chances of surviving a serious crash by up to 50 per cent

The faster you drive the longer it takes to stop You also run the risk of receiving a fine which

could put a serious dent in your holiday budget

Make sure you take regular breaks on long trips If yoursquore feeling tired stop and take a break Ideally you should be having a 15 minute rest every two hours It also helps to share the driving when possible

WHEN it comes to weight management many people underestimate the poten-tial of combining resist-

ance and cardiovascular trainingBut this is a powerful combinationIf you combine both resistance and

cardiovascular training to your weekly activities you will achieve a weight management much sooner than by just one element on its own

Resistance is movement against a load It could be done in front of a weight room mirror in a pool or at home with tins of beans

Applying progressive load to mus-cles within the body creates an adap-tive response to this stress over days and weeks

Physiological adaptations in this time

TO EXPLAIN how the body reacts to this combina-tion of training I use an analogy of a palace with hundreds of rooms When yoursquove started resistance training only a few rooms have lights on within the palace energy usage is economical in regards to the limited functionality When activity is increased more rooms are alight until all of the hundreds of rooms within the pal-ace are on The palace is your muscle(s) and the motor units are the rooms that have switched on to the progressive loads You have much more use and energy from trained muscle(s) gained from pro-gressive loads

Seriously a can of beans can help with your weight management says CPL Dean Cook

could include improved messaging from the mind to the muscle which leads to increased movement economy muscle contraction strength and basal metabolic energy consumption rates

As more units within the muscle are stirred into action greater energy and strength within those muscles is experi-enced

Strength gains also occur in the musclesrsquo connective tissue which can increase resistance to injury Movement within exercise or sport will additionally

become more effective with less concern for possible problems like sprains and strains

Together with resistance training challenging cardiovascular sessions within the week will expedite progres-sion to a goal Cardiovascular training will increase the trainerrsquos ability to deliver nutrients and energy to recruit-ed muscles

To do this the heart and lungs strengthen to pump more nutrient-rich blood to the working areas

The resistance to blood flow throughout the vessels will gradually decrease and allow greater volumes to reach muscular extremities Increased mitochondrion within the muscle cell termed the power plant will cause greater energy production and calorie consumption

A basal metabolic increase will be attained from increased muscular and cardiovascular activity

If the intention is to attain a weight size or shape sooner by applying a

format of both resistance and cardio-vascular training energy will be con-sumed much faster

Muscular metabolic rates increase and as a result energy consumption throughout a cardiovascular activity is increased

Therefore the candle is burnt at both ends when additional muscular portions are used within a manageable cardiovascular exercise activity

THE Aussies have won the coveted best shot for a military patrol team in the gruelling 30km cross coun-try military patrol in an exciting finale to the ADF assault on the British National Nordic Skiing and Biathlon Championships

This race combines and tests Service teamsrsquo physical endurance marksmanship leadership and team exercises ndash such as stretcher carries on snow ndash in mountainous country

President of the ADF Nordic Skiing and Biathlon Association CDRE Mark Purcell said it was a great feeling to watch the Australian targets fall

ldquoMany of the British are elite professional athletes and donrsquot expect a group of Australians to be able to compete to the same stand-ardrdquo he said

ldquoTo not only compete but win the best shot trophy against 24 other British teams in their premier event is a fantastic effortrdquo

The ADF military patrol team included LCDR Garry Lewis CAPT Dave Cave WO1 Tim Costin and LCPL Travis Mcinnes

LCDR Garry Lewis was excited to be part of the British champion-ships

ldquoThe snow conditions were per-fect and I enjoyed competing against elite athletesrdquo he said

ldquoThe highlight of course was winning best shot in the military patrol event and taking home a high-ly prized award ndash I was very proud to compete in such a tough eventrdquo

A total of 10 ADF biathletes took on the British champions dur-ing the three-week competition in Rupholding Germany in early February As well as LCDR Lewis the Navy was represented by CDRE Mark Purcell and myself

Rupholding is known as the lsquoWimbledonrsquo of biathlon ndash hosting numerous world cup champion-ships and being the training centre for Olympic contenders of various nationalities

CDRE Purcell said all team members improved with exposure to the world cup Rupholding course over the period of the champion-ships

ldquoThey are now well placed to bring their experience and knowl-edge back to Australia to share with fellow single Service teammates at the Australian inter-Service champi-onships in Augustrdquo he said

ldquoDespite the British having five times more training time on snow than our team we still managed a top 20 place in the 4x10km cross country relay and the best ADF indi-vidual CAPT Dave Cave finished in a top 30 position in the 20km biathlon distance event in a field of more than 100 competitorsrdquo

I was awarded the trophy for first international female skier

THE boys from HMAS Albatross didnrsquot let a 5am departure time and three hour bus trip to Sydney bother them as they went through the 12-a-side Father MacDonald cup undefeated

Albatross kept their cool in the hot condi-tions to come out winners over defending champions HMAS Waterhen in a close and well contested final at Macquarie University on February 11

Waterhen fought valiantly in the second half and even came within five points with just a couple of minutes to go

But it wasnrsquot enough as ABATV Liam Carruthers stepped up for Albatross by taking a mark deep in the forward line and play-ing on to kick the goal that sealed the result 4125 to 2214

Needing to overcome HMAS Darwin in the semi final Albatross drew on the experi-ence of their local competition players to win by a comfortable four goal margin

In the other semi final Waterhen over-came a combined BallaratSuccess team in the highest scoring game of the day 5333 to 4125

The plate final was contested by the BallaratSuccess team and HMAS Arunta in a replay of their first match with the combined side again taking the honours

It didnrsquot come easily though as the com-bined team struggled to finish Arunta with many missed opportunities in front of goal to finish with 2719 to 117

BallaratSuccess made their way through to the plate final overcoming a combined HMAS KanimblaKuttabul side with many players without prior experience but plenty of enthusiasm

That enthusiasm even had them in front at

Navy on target at clay shooting championshipsCPO Michael Bryan has won the AA Grade title at the 29th Australasian Police and Services Clay Target Shooting Championships held from November 26-29 last year

CPO Bryan scored a total of 442 from a possible 455 to finish just six points behind overall champion Peter Kenyon of the Department of Corrections after the four-day multi-disciplined event

Teammate PO Steve Atkins placed 15th in B Grade with a total of 413 from a possible 455

Day one of the championships comprised a team-based 50 target skeet shoot where the ADF team of CPO Bryan PO Atkins CPL Tim Braybon SGT Rob Binstead and SPR James Pearse placed fifth

The second day of competition began with all 171 competitors taking part in a 25 target eye opener CPO Bryan was on the mark with

a perfect score while PO Atkins missed just three targets to score 22

With everyone tuned into the dayrsquos condi-tions a 50 target single barrel championship began After accurate shooting CPO Bryan scored equal second which lead to a sudden death shoot-off

After an extra 35 targets CPO Bryan took second outright in AA Grade after his com-petitors missed crucial targets

The final event for the day was a 30 target continental championship where CPO Bryan remained in fine touch hitting 29 targets while PO Atkins hit 26

After the second day of competition CPO Bryan was sitting in equal third just three points behind the leader with PO Atkins a further nine points behind

Day three of competition began with the 50 target handicap championship with both Navy shooters missing just three targets each

Round two for the day saw another 50 tar-get championship this time with the double barrel

CPO Bryan excelled with a perfect 50 but was unlucky to miss his 44th shot of the sud-den death playoff and placed second in AA Grade

With the last day of competition CPO Bryan stepped up to the mark again and in a 50 target points championship scored a huge 147 from a possible 150 points PO Atkins did well to take 139 points

Entering yet another sudden death shoot-off CPO Bryan secured second place again in just five extra targets with his competitors again missing vital targets

Both shooters are looking at taking the experience gained from the championships into the Australian National Championships in April this year

A SHIFT in focus for this yearrsquos Kapooka Sports Series has paid dividends with numbers up on previous years It has also seen the hasty erection of netball courts to cater for the 10 teams already registered

Coordinator of the series CAPT Ian Marston S31 Ops at the Army Recruit Training Centre (ARTC) said the netball courts were demolished as part of the base upgrade

ldquoWe had to quickly build a couple of temporary courts in the transport supply company car parkrdquo CAPT Marston said

Holding the event over one weekend instead of two had been positively received by COs

But time is running out to register for this yearrsquos series to be held over the weekend of March 13-14

ldquoItrsquos by far the biggest team competition in the ADF and we are expecting 200-plus campers here over the weekendrdquo CAPT Marston said

There are already 17 Aussie rules teams 14 rugby and about 10 netball teams registered

Managers of ADF rugby Aussie rules and netball teams have until March 5 to register with the ARTC Ops Cell

All events will be played at ARTC facilities with the Riverina Umpires Association providing umpires for the Aussie rules and netball

Team managers should contact the ARTC Ops Cell on (02) 6933 8363 or email artcopsdefencegovau for details on rationing accommodation and registration

WITH up to six ships work-ing in close company in the Eastern Australian Exercise Area off Jervis

Bay the first week of Navyrsquos Fleet Concentration Period (FCP) has lived up to its name

Day and night HMA Ships Anzac Warramunga Arunta Darwin and HMNZS Te Mana have been travel-ling in convoy changing positions manoeuvring to fire their 5-inch guns and launching and retrieving helicopters RAAF jets have been practising attack-ing the ships which in turn have con-ducted anti-air warfare serials

Other ships including HMA Ships Ballarat Newcastle and Sirius have been conducting evolutions designed to ensure personnel on board are ready for any eventuality While all this has been going on Clearance Dive Teams in HMAS Huon have been clearing Jervis Bay of simulated mines and surveying the approaches and shore in case an amphibious assault is called in

Below decks all shipsrsquo companies have been practicing fire fighting and other damage control exercises

In north Queensland preparations are being made for amphibious opera-tions with more Australian ships as well as HMNZS Canterbury

These essential exercises ensure our people and Fleet are ready for any situa-tion that presents itself

CAPT Peter Quinn is the CO of Anzac As the senior commander of ships participating in FCP 10-1 he car-ries the added responsibility of Task Group Commander

ldquoThe FCP will help ensure that Navyrsquos men and women along with our ships and aircraft are ready for the chal-lenges of the year aheadrdquo CAPT Quinn said

ldquoThe Fleet needs to be prepared for anything from providing humanitar-ian assistance to conducting high-end war fighting ndash the activities of FCP will make sure we are well prepared

ldquoVery importantly navies rarely work alone so it is great that the Royal New Zealand Navy has two of their ships participating in the FCP Our skills as mariners and war fighters need to be refreshed regularly or our ability to do

the job expected of us by the Australian people diminishes Thatrsquos why it is so important to be out there conducting the exerciserdquo

And so it follows that the next gen-eration of seaman officers in the Navy is busy using this valuable exercise to con-solidate the past few years of study and practical work at sea to be endorsed with the coveted Bridge Warfare Certificate (BWC)

ldquoItrsquos not an easy thing to stand on the bridge and be responsible for the safety of the ship and everyone on board but that is what is expected of the officer of the watchrdquo CAPT Quinn said

ldquoSo to achieve a BWC a trainee seaman officer has to have their skills thoroughly tested in a multitude of dif-ferent situations The FCP is the perfect environment to earn a BWC because there are so many vessels and so many different exercises every day There will be a number of BWCs awarded across the Fleet during FCP and I am hopeful that Anzac will be leading the wayrdquo

FCP 10-1 is being conducted in four distinct phases which culminate every week with a mini-war to test the level of skills that have been honed in the previ-ous seven days

All of this is done in allocated mili-tary zones offshore to ensure the safety of the general public and to minimise impact on the environment The entire exercise is planned carefully with a strict environmental management plan in place to protect marine life Safety and risk management regulations are enforced and everything is done in a controlled environment

According to CAPT Quinn the ships have progressed really well during the first week at sea

ldquoThe mistakes of the first four days are no longer being made and the ships have drawn together in a cohesive task group During the coming weeks the task group will build on the core mariner and warfare skills that we have already reaffirmed as exercises become more complex and challengingrdquo he said

ldquoI am happy with the excellent progress thus far but have been particu-larly pleased with the drive and enthusi-asm of not only my crew but the whole Fleet We are ready for the challenges aheadrdquo

Success inquiryCDF ACM Angus Houston has announced the appointment of the Hon Roger Gyles AO QC to conduct a new Commission of Inquiry into a range of matters arising from equity and diversity issues on board HMAS Success There will be no Navy involvement in the inquiry legal team

By Michael Brooke

SENIOR RAN and APS personnel were updated on developments with the Strategic Reform Program (SRP) ldquoDelivering Force 2030rdquo by the Chief of Navy VADM Russ Crane AO CSM RAN when he visited HMAS Kuttabul on February 12

CN provided an update on the SRP before opening the floor to questions which lead to a frank discussion about the importance of the SRP in order to finance Force 2030 and give the ADF the capability it needs

VADM Crane said the SRP would fundamentally overhaul the entire Defence enterprise producing efficien-cies and creating savings of about $20 billion over 10 years

He said the cost savings would help the Government procure new capa-bilities for Force 2030 such as AWDs future frigates future submarines amphibious ships offshore combatant vessels naval combat helicopters and other advanced enabling capabilities over the next 20 years

ldquoSRP is about deep reform not just about saving money it is about achiev-ing our future capabilityrdquo VADM Crane said

CN said the savings would be achieved through more efficient main-tenance techniques and the introduc-tion of continuous improvement across Navy improving the way Defence undertakes its human resources man-

agement redesigning its work prac-tices and introducing a new integrated workforce management system in the form of shared services

ldquoEveryone of us must commit to the SRP for Navy and the ADF to real-ise Force 2030rdquo he said

Accountability for implementation will be devolved to the line leadership responsible for each area of reform but will be coordinated centrally through the SRP and underpinned by clear per-formance measures and milestones

Deputy Chief of Navy RADM Davyd Thomas told the senior Navy and APS officials that the RAN must develop a real sense of urgency about the SRP or there will not be enough money to fund Force 2030

ldquoNew Generation Navy is the ena-bler for our change in course as well as the platform for SRP successrdquo RADM Thomas said

ldquoOur job each and every one of us is to ensure that we contribute to the best of our ability through cost con-scious behaviour to identify and drive reforms so that the Navy can grow its future capabilityrdquo

SRP is Navyrsquos signature behaviours put into practice to Make people accountable for out-

comes Drive cost conscious behaviour by

understanding the cost of doing business

Editorial apologyTHE editorial team wishes to apologise for publishing an incorrect photo on page 3 of Volume 53 Number 2 which displayed the French LHD rather than the Spanish version of the ship the RAN has chosen to meet Navyrsquos future capability needs

Strengthen relationships beyond and across Navy (build trust)

Develop a culture of continuous improvement and reform-focused culture in all of your workplacesldquoPeople will be held account-

able for the funds and resources that they use and must be as careful with Government funding as they are with their own moneyrdquo

He said important savings could be

achieved by reducing waste at all lev-els because waste steals from future capability

IN BRIEF

THE Government has given first pass approval for a major project to provide the ADF with a new naval combat helicopter

Project AIR 9000 Phase 8 is included in the Defence Capability Plan to provide naval warships with a new combat helicopter

Defence Minister John Faulkner said two potential helicopters had been identified

ldquoThe Government has decided that the new helicopter will be either the Sikorsky-Lockheed Martin built MH-60R sourced through the United States Navy or the NATO Helicopter Industries NH90 NFH sourced

through Australian Aerospacerdquo Senator Faulkner said

Senator Faulkner said that a com-petition would be held between the two helicopter options which would be cost-capped by the Defence Materiel Organisation through the tender process

ldquoThe new naval combat helicopter will enhance the RANrsquos ability to conduct a range of maritime opera-tions It will be capable of undertak-ing anti-submarine warfare and will be equipped with air-to-surface mis-silesrdquo he said

ldquoThis fleet of combat helicopters will form the centerpiece of naval combat aviation to beyond 2040

ldquoThe new helicopter will greatly extend the eyes and ears of our sur-face fleet and allow the conduct of combat and support operations in the complex and demanding maritime environment

ldquoThey will replace the current fleet of Seahawk anti-submarine war-fare helicopters and fill an operational need left by the cancellation of the Seasprite projectrdquo

The procurement of the new naval combat helicopters as a matter of urgency was announced in the 2009 Defence White Paper Sufficient heli-copters will be acquired to provide at least eight helicopters concurrent-ly embarked on ships at sea which

under the White Paper requires a fleet of 24 helicopters

ldquoThe competitive process will begin in the next few months with the Government making a final decision about the new helicopter in 2011rdquo Senator Faulkner said

ldquoThis schedule will enable the new helicopters to be delivered from 2014

ldquoAny decision Government makes in 2011 will take into account all rel-evant considerations including capa-bility cost interoperability with other ADF capabilities Australian indus-try opportunities risk and value for moneyrdquo Senator Faulkner said

Navy marks 109th birthday with historic Battle Honour changesTHE RAN is marking its anniversary with a welcome gift announcing changes to shipsrsquo Battle Honours A recent review of the RANrsquos list of campaigns and battles proposed several new awards to reflect recent RAN operations The review also identified prior anomalies where some ships had not received due recognition for their activities The full revised list was

approved by the Governor General last year The Chief of Navy VADM Russ Crane AO CSM RAN said Navy had much to be proud of on this special day ldquoWe should all take great pride in being a critical part of the Navy over the past 109 yearsrdquo VADM Crane saidldquoIn a time of very high operational tempo the Navy team which includes our many civilian and commercial partners continues to achieve and sustain the high standards set by those who went before usrdquo Newly commissioned unit Battle Honour boards will incorporate the changes from commissioning with the cost of the boards incorporated into the project budget Battle Honour boards for units presently in commission will be progres-sively updated in accordance with normal protocols based on wear and tear The cost will be borne by the relevant command using extant budget guidance A full list of RAN units in line for changes to their cam-paign and Battle Honours can be found at wwwnavygovau
