Chief or Naval Staff, Vice Admir:allan MacDougaU, has launched the 1992-93 edition or Australia's Navy - a rolourful insight into the activities. roles and developments within the RAN.

It includes anias on: • The Navy in support of the United Nations both in Ihe Gulf and Cambodia;

• The Navy and ils in­volvement wilh Australian industry includong articles on HMAS MELBOURNE. the ANZAC ships, the COLLINS submarines and Ihe Seahawk and its mis­sion simulator;

• STS YOUNG EN­DEA YOUR 's world voy­age;

• The Navy in North Queensland wilh emphasis upon HMAS FLINDERS and hydrographic opera· tions in the Greal Barrier Reef;

• HMAS TOB RU K and its role in K92:

• Sinking of 1124 during the Second World War;

• Naval operations in the West ; and

• Navy's commitment 10 the environment.

In his address onboard HMAS SYDNEY during Navy Week 1992, VADM MacDougall said this third edi tion of the Navy Annual continued to impress him with its progress and content.

The standard of bo(h the writlen and photographic contributions was ueellent and high produetion stan­dards had been maintained.

·'The aim of Australia·s Navy is to provide a high quality publication that in­forms Australians about their Navy.

M Australia 's Navy is also used by Australian Defence and naval attaches and commanding officers of ships as a means of giving government officials in reg­ional countries an insight into the RAN .

"To this end I believe that th is year's annual will be a great success.

SUPPORT ~The Royal Australian

Nayy continued to suppan the United Nations in a var­lety of ways. Since the end of the Gulf War our guided missi le frigates DA RWIN , SYDNEY and now CAN­BERRA . have operated in the Arabian Gulf in sup­port of UN security resolu­tions enforcing sanCliollli against Iraq while some Nayy personnel were also involved in the very dangcrous task of conduct · ing inspections of Saddam Hussein's chemical and bK>IogicaJ weapons arsenals.

"The Navy also has a communications unit in Camb()(Jia and provided personnel for a ffiO\'emems control group to wppon the initial deployment of UN forces into the country.

"At home. our drive to· wards self-reliance has picked up pace.

~The Seahawk Squadron " 5816 was commissioned earlier this year as was the Australian-built guided missile frigal<: "MAS MELBOU RNE.

- MEL80URNE·s sister ship. NEWCASTLE , is likely to be completed in mid-I993 - some months ahead of schedule.

"Fabricat ion work on the new submarines (COL­LINS, FARNCOMB and WALLER) continues and construClion work on Ihe firM of Ihe new frigates , ANZAC, has commenced.

" Both projects are on :schedule and on budget.

" I am confident that this fine performance will con· linue into the future wllh the propoe.ed min ........ arfare force s. the offshore patrol Yessels, oceanographic ships, he licopter support ship and DDG replace­ments.

~ Austr.dia '5 Navy also contains a thought pro\'ok-

ing article by Dr John White of Amecon on the future of Australian Naval ,shipbuilding and I urge you to read it .~

VADM MacDougall men­tioned the connection bet~ ..... een the publi t at ion Au­slralia's Navy and the Sir Dayid Martin Foundation.

" You will know that Sir Da",d was one of Ihe most respected and lo\'ed naval offFcers in modern times,

" His humili ty and con· ccrn for his fcllow citizens ..... ere amongst his greatest attributes.

~The Foundation which carries his name symbolises that concern ,

41Fe Navy saw the grea t good that the Foundation rou ld achieve and, to assist it in its endca\'ours, de­cided that one dollar from the sale o f each copy of the annual should go to thc foundation .

"Many thousands of dol ­lars have already been do· nated in this way and I urge you to suppon th7S ..... o rthy cause. "

three months after the unit celebrated its 50th anniversary, ending its long associa· tion with Reserve elements of the Navy, the c1osore is 11 major slep forward for the Reserves.

The dccision 10 decommission HMAS LONSDALE followed recommendations made by the Wrigley Repon and more re­cently, thc Defence Force Structure Re· view. which both highlighted the need to review the Rcserve structore .

These reviews ha\'e emphasised the need fo r closer ties between thc Naval Re~rves and the Permancnt Naval Forces.

This has been a signific;mt reduction in the need to malOtain establishments primarily oriented to thc Rcsen'es.

Although a final deciSion is yet to be taken on the future of the site. HMAS lONSDALE is expected bo be sold by the Department of Defence.

According to IIMAS lONSDALE Commanding Officer, L7cutcnant Com-

designers and makers or the target drone looks set fo continue with ruture re­quirements ror an upgraded version of the highly' successful pilotless aircraft.

Originally designed for an operational life of just to nights, Jindiviks now routinely achieve an average of more than ]00 and the record-holder completed almost 300 sorA ties with its Rolls-Royce Viper powerplant.

J indivik - "The hunted one" - was developed and pro­duccd by the Government Aircraft Facto ries, near Mel­bourne, which in 1986 became the privately-owned Aeros­pace Technologics of Australia Pty.

Australia and thc Unitcd Kingdom have ordered and used the target drone in large quantities during the four de­cades since Jindivik's first flight in 1952, but the United States Navy and Royal Swedish Air Force have also oper­ated the Viper-powered aircraft.

Rolls-Royce is now working with Aerospace Technologies of Australia on another development of the Jindivik in support of a requirement by both the Australian Department of Defence and the UK Ministry of Defence.

Converted Viper engines from Jct Provost trainers arc to be used. and initial development has begun with a produc­tion contract expected shortly.

This prospective business is yet more proof of the ver­satili ty and excellence of the engine Which, like the air­craft, was originally designed as a "throwaway" unit with an expected life of just 50 hours.

Now, 40 years on , more than 5,000 Vipers have aceumu­lated a total of more than 10 million Oying hours wilh 36 air forces around the world and numerous civil operators.

Individual military Viper engines have achieved over 5.000 flying hours and civil applications of the engine have logged up to 9,000 hours on the wing.

The latest Viper standard incorporates RoHs-Royce's newest technology advances. produces thrce times more power than the original model and flies up to a thousand hours between major overhauls.

The Viper 680 is the most powerful non-reheated Viper variant, powering the Acrmacchi MB339C advanced trainer.

The Royal New Zealand Air Force became the MB339-Viper 680 combination's first customer last year.

It has o rdercd a total of 18 aircraft. ~::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::~::::~, :f~o,~~a tdive . rIll IIIIIII II III II IIIII II IIIII II II II II II III

" When I was in the Nary you had to be 2110 vote . II was inconvenient 10 casl any sort of vote when you were onboard ship , You could be up in Singapore and it was hard 10 vote . The last Ihing you wanted 10 do when you got to shore was to go and vole. You were more interested in gelling yonr land legs and having a few' drinks."

So said Mr Graham Snook, Computer Services Manager with the Western Australian Head Office of the Australi:Jn Electoral Commission when talking about Navy person nel and their voting responsibilities.

As part of his work, Mr Snook must maintain the computer equipment for the Wcstern Australian head office and the state's divisional offices.

"'I worked in the Navy from 1959 to 1965 as a mechanical engineer. and I was on I·IMAS D IAMAN­TINA in Perth. CER· BER US in Melbourne, PENGU IN in Sydney and LEEUWIN ill Penh.

'"After my discharge I drove semi-trailers for 10 years and then joined the Puhlie Service. I started at the electoral commission in 1980 and have been officer in charge of Computer Ser· vices for JO years now," he said.

With the next Federal elect ion only a short time away staff at the electoral commtSSlon a re al ready gearing up for a busy potHng day.

In a lot of ways this is like a military exercise. The same planning and organi­sational skill s are required for both to ensure that no­thing is overlooked.

"We know that regular postings are often a fact of life in the Navy and fre-

quent moves may cause problems when correctly maintaining your electoral enrolment.

"Obviously, if you are posted within Australia and you intend to return to your pennanent address after your posting you can stay enrolled at your permanent address by notifying your ORO of your absence.

"'Or you can choose to re-enrol at your new ad­dress afte r you have been there for one month," Mr Snook said.

Mr Peter Manley, a clerk with the division of Gil­more. at Nowra in NSW. has recently transferred from HMAS A LBAT· ROSS to work with the electoral commission.

'" I was in the Navy fo r JO years until 1987 and then I worked with the Navy as a public servant in AMSO at HMAS ALBATROSS until October this year.

'" I used to read Navy News and I can give you some electoral informat ion Which a sailor may need for the next Federal e lection.

'"If you're posted to a ship you can still keep your current residential address for voting purposes. But if it's unlikely you 'lI return to your permanent address fo r some considerable time then you should re-enrol for the address of your posting."' he said.

" If you'll be on exercise

during the e lection and you know tha t you won't be able to get to your usual polling place 011 polt ing day, the re are a number of ways you can vote.

'" You can cast an absent vote if you are away from the division in which you're enrolled, but you're still within the same State o r Territory. You can cast an absent vote at any polling place within that state or territory.

"If you're travelling. or overseas, or not able to leave work to get to a pol­ling place on polling day. you may be entitled to a pre·poll o r postal vote.

"So, don't forget to check your duty roste r the week before polting day to see if you are working on the weekend." said Mr Manley.

"Pre-poll votes can be cast in person at any divi­sional offi ce or pre-poll vot­ing centre . To vote by post. you·It need to complete and return a postal vote appli· cation fonn.

"These forms are availa­ble at any post office or di­visional o ffi ces. M

Bid ·to save our banners

A government conscn'ation facility ill concerned that irreplaceable banners recording the fin est mo­"Ients and battle honours are being left 10 rot.

Ms Mary Jose, chief tex­tiles conservator with the Adelaide-based Anlab Au­snaila. said the banners could laSI for gencnllons if displayed aDd siored correctly.

"Traditionally the ban­ners are placed in churches or cathedrals afte r a war and record significant bat­lies and moments In

hi~lOry ," she said.

"The older ones were usually made of silk and 3TC an important part of the regimen!'s heritage .

- Despite thei r historical value, hOI" ever. mOSI of them are simply not being loo~ed after properly,-

Ms Jose has ex tensive Clt­

perience in Irealing dam­aged mil itary banners in Brita in and Australia.

Over the past few months she has been resto r­ing banners and nags fo r several regimenlS which .... ere hung in an Adelaide ca thedral.

However. Ms Jose sa~ In most cases treatment

would be: unnecessary if the banners were stored cor­rectly and cleaned regy larly.

""The biggest threat to their preservation are dust, damp and ligh t .~ she said.

··Ideally. they need to be framed and hung in a dry place away from direct sun­ligh t. although open display is also suitable provided they are hung 3nd main­tained coneclly. H

Ms Jose said other militaria , such as flags, un· iforms and medals. on dis­ply in museums also needed to be looked a fte r to ensure their survival.

She urged custodians to set up regular progr3ms 10

check thei r condition as regular inspection is the key.

Art lab Aus tral ia is a South A ustralian Govern­ment faci lity which specialises in conserving items of cultural and histo r· ical significance fo r the: public and private sectors around Australia.
