I WESTRALIA ARRIVES I

• I

The Royal Austmian Navy's west coast operational capabilities received a boost with the arrival of HMAS WESTRALIA al "MAS STIRLING on ils delivery voyage from the UK on Derember 20.

The latest addition to the Austral ian Fleet. W ES­TRALIA proudly carries Ihe former RAN oi le r HMAS SUPPLY's hull number. 0195.

WEST RA LI A was met at sea the previous day by the WA-based DE HMAS DERWENT which had the distinction of being the first RAN unit to carry out a RAS wi lh the Navy's sec­ond replenishment ship.

The meeting also saw eNS, Vicc Admiral Michael Hudson, transfer to HMAS WESTRALIA 10 welcome and join the new arrival whilst the Minister for Defence, Mr Beazley, joined In G age Roads off Fremantlc the fo llowing morning for the run down to STIRLI NG,

W ESTRALIA was met by a la rge crowd of VIPs, families a nd friends whilst music for Ihe joyous occa­sio n was provided by a large segme nt of the RA NR band o f the FTe­mantle Po rt D ivision .

Crew me mbers we re quickl y down the brow to be u nited with loved o nes after months away in the colder English climes.

In a welcoming cere­mo ny cond ucted on the wharf, Mr Beazley, VADM Hudson a nd NOCW A , Commodo re Graham Stubington , addressed the ga the ring.

Mr Beauey described how W ESTRA Ll A's ae­q uisi lion advanced the phasing-in of the two ocean navy pol icy.

··This ship has the capac­ity to ensure tha t military and political objectives of the two-ocean policy will be carried 0 111 ," he said .

From VIC JEFFER Y N(J ~' PRO ( UtA)

- In pcacel ime it will pro­vide fuel services for RAN vesse ls and in wartime it has the capacity 10 deploy e ffectively from the W A coast,

··WESTRA LI A can carry more than 20,000 ton­nes o f fuel, allowing il to suppon a fleel of ships in na va l e xercises.

Hit mult iplies the effee­liveness o f our destroyers o ve r he re by a ve ry consid­e ra ble amount,~ M r Be31:­ley said.

- Witho lll it, you become terribly dependent on IlOrthe m pons a nd III a wanime si tuation tha t wo uld be mOSI unwise.

~ I think the two-ocean Navy is a real ity now.

- We are a marilime na­tion a nd we depend o n o ur Navy for proleCl ion and freedo m of o ur scalanes,"

VADM Hudson con-gratu lated Commanding

Officer 10hn Moore and his crew fo r the enormous amount of work carried out on WESTRALIA over the past four months.

''There is stiU much work to do and if it is done wi lh the degree of profes­sionalism that has so fa r been displayed, each sailo r will have completed his job exceptionally weU," he said.

CORE Stubington said the arrival of H MAS WES­T RALIA was a memorable and sign ifica nt occasion in the history o f the RA N.

~This ship , which is the RAN's la rgcst vessel, will beller enable the Na vy to carry out its patriotic mis­sion," he said.

~The fi rst W ESTRA LIA did 121,000 nautical miles and was claimed to have bee n s unk by the 1apanese three t imes and na rrowly missed by a 1apa nese kamikaze ai rcraft on one occasion .

The completion of work on HMA Ships PERTH and ADELAIDE 'on cost and in reasonable lime', augured "" e ll for the future of Auslnlian Dden"!! In­dustries, the Minister for Ddence. Mr 8 eazley, said at a ceremony lol l ADl"s Garden Island on Dc('cmber I to mark Ihe ships' return 10 service.

"The Government and the people of our country have tremendous confidence in the Nav)". ~ he: said before a Scahawk helicopter landed on the new rear deck of Ihe FFG.

Referring to Ihe ANZAC ships source selection and contmelUr.1 arrangements , Mr Ikazley iaid he had spent 11 consider· able amount of lime in the past few months on lier 1100'0 ships.

Tier one ships such as PERTH and ADELAIDE were, however. the ships most representative of the fighting arm of the Navy.

"We ure a maritime nation and. if " 'C do not have the capaei ty to build. repair. refit and deploy ships. then we do nOi have the capacity to defend oursel\·es.­he said .

~What we have (in the "',ork compktcd on PERnl and ADELAIDE) is a prodUC1 of excelknt Australian workmalllihip.-

~Bringing these ships to a sta te ready for delivery has been a joint llnder­taking with the combined effor1S of Ihe two ships' companies and dockyard per­sonnel of ADI.- he said.

'"The ... ·ork invol\'ed has been complex and demanding but the Naval Engineering Division has shown us that the new com· pany is rising to the challenge and I want to e~press my appreciation to the company e~ecutive and to the workforce;.-

VADM Hudson said the m~rnisation of HMAS PERTH would ensure an effec· tive service life for many years to come.

He said the activc fin stabilizers would be welcomed by the ship's comp.1lly.

~ And the installation of the Omnipure sewer.lgc Irealment systcm 10 PERTJ-I will allow the ship to meet international regulations for the discharge of sewage overboard, hc said.

" It a lso highlights the Navy 's concern for the environment and Ollr determina· tion to retain our sound environmental record. -

Chief of Naval Siaff, Vice Admiral Michael Hudson. recalled an incident early in his career where. as a young XO of HMAS VENDE I IA, he had 'succeeded in having the en tire (Garden bland) dockyard (as it Ihen was) go on Sirike ' .

A DI managing director. Mr Ken Harris said the rebuilding of the ADELAIDE's stern and e~tensjve modernisation of PERT H had taken some twO million manhours to complete. required some 300 km of single electrical cable and 800.000 electrical oonnecliOIlS.
