DRAFTING FORECAST

that the prolonged and NOW agonisint: appraisal of the aircraft

future of the strike carrier is over. with the decision going against the iudttment of the Atlniiralty Board. We lltltll to take stock dispassionaleh‘ of the Navy's role and c:l|t:Ihilit_vin the light of the Defence Review. for much has become blurred. During the next four vears our Polaris suhniarines will be taking over the nu_clea_r deterrent role from the Air _l~or_ce. Our anipliihious capability is to he strenizthened by a new class of ship. the l.:in(ling Ship Assault. The Fleet Air Arm's AntiSubmarine striking power with helicopters is to be greatly

increased. Operating techniques in each of these spheres have to

be developed and learnt. The eventual demise of the aircraft carrier means that vie have to set about making good the resultant deficiencies in reconnaissance. air defence and anti-shipping strikes by other means and have the alternatives ready within ten years. TASK. NOT T.F.SSENED But above all. the Navv‘s main duty to the cotinlrv must be fixed firmly in our minds. and that is to exercise sea power. We must be ever vigilant in ensuring the freedom of the sea. The size of this tasl: does not lessen. The era we are about to move towards will call for invenlive~ ness. clear-headetlness. determination and readiness to accept change and new ideas in the years ahead. The future "offers great scope. The Nrivy will rise to the occasion.

SALUTE AND FAREWELL THE heir

resignation of Mr. May-

Minister of Defence for the Navy and Admiral Sir David Luce's relioquisliintt of his post as First Sea Lord as

because of the Government's decision on Defence means the loss to the Navy of two leaders viho have fought the Navy's cause viith all their miltht. We are deeply rzrateful to them both. Mr. .\lavhew's obvious concern for ollicers and n1cn during his short term of oflice has won for him the Navy’: admiration. Our best wishes go to Admiral Luce on his retirement. The appointment of Admiral Sir Var_\l Beg: to the Navy's tot) post. and the continuance in otlice of other members of the Admiralty Board ‘for the good of the Navy‘ means that the vital task of reshaping the Navy is in good hands. ~

ROYAL NAVY & THE

DEFENCE REVIEW

“WE LEAD THE WORLD IN NOVEL FORMS OF MARINE DES[GN”—NA VY MINISTER, J. P. W. MALLALIEU HE NAVY is in the news for reasons none of us would have wished. We have lost at the same time the Navy Minister, the First Sea Lord, and our hopes for building a new aircraft carrier. All these losses are deeply regretted by all of us, not least by me. “There is, however, one thing that has impressed me above all in the banner headlines and in the background articles which have filled the newspapers. That is the universal respect for, and understanding of, the Navy which is reflected on all sides by both the Press and the public. There is a wide appreciation of the basic importance to Britain of what the Navy is doing. Indeed, the Secretary of State has made it quite clear that the Navy has a vital part to play in the defence of our country for as long ahead as anyone can

Already we are leading the world in novel forms of marine design. Our nuclear submarine force is building up.

NAVY NEWS

A SPECIAL MESSAGE TO THE FLEET AIR

ARM

HE decision to cancel CVA Ol is gloomy news and to all of us it comes as a sad end to a frustrating period of uncertainty. and a period when the strain on men and material in the carriers has been particularly heavy. But the Government decision to continue the carrier force until the mid 70s has produced a new challenge—and the sort of challenge which naval aviation has had to meet on other occasions in its fifty years" existence. The next decade will need a strong and effective Fleet Air Arm to carry the Navy through a period of crisis and change. The equipment plans for the next few years are unaltered and we can count on the Buccaneer "2 armed with A] I68, the Phantom and a new

from the Deputy Chief of the Naval Staff ASW helicopter. The Phantom is up to time and the Navy will get its first deliveries on schedule next year. As you all know. it is a superb aircraft. We shall also be spending a lot of money on our existing carriers to keep them up to date. I believe therefore that the next I0 years offer some bright and interesting prospects and the young men of adventurous spirit who form this unique band of professional aviators will still find it an attractive avenue to a full career in all types of flying.
