‘green’ policies Organisers of the awards

said the RN had surpassed its own and government targets in the environmental field.

Among the RN 3 achievements are reducing energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions by one quarter in the past nine years, using -

-

sunlight to light buildings more effectively by day. conserving rainwater, using solar en-

ergy and other initiativesled by Head of Environmental Policy Phil Wheaten.

‘Its a tribute to the Fleet as a whole and every RN establishments valuable contribution towards complying with environmental policy,‘ he said. ‘My message is: keep up the good work further more challenging targets are on the way.’

The Navy looks after numerous sites of environmental and scientific importance, home to rare birds, bats, floraand fauna, such as Horsea Island in Portsmouth which beyond being one of the homes of RN diving is also home to rare pyramidal and lesser spotted orchids.

Besides a plaque for the award, the Navy received a cheque for £500 which goes to the King George V Fund for Sailors.

Jack was rewarded for four years’ service when he took over from Crusher the Cat or 'Top Cat’ as has fondly remembered in keeping the vermin at bay in the Camels Head area. Jacks Divisional Officer, MAA Jan Wills. recommended his feline friend for an award. ‘Jacks proved himself to be a very active member of the rat-catching lraremity, purrforming his duties with turvour." said Jan. "Hes clawed his way into the unit and never one to pussyfool around, although he pmturs ;i catnap by day to conserve his energy. the Duty Watch staff don't always appreciate Jack3 late-night gifts of dead rats and mice and the occasional pigeon by day. Despite this failing. Jack purrvides excellent service. " Riglir. rim! '1 i-iiiiiiig/i r.1i'nri'iirlrrr_g- prim jiiriirir mm r' if.

Itlew twist to powder mon BYS tale AS VlCTORY'S historian. Peter Goodwin has exploded one oi the longest-standing myths of the Trafalgar era the plight of the ‘powder monkeys‘.

—

His research has revealed that boys aged 12-19 ‘boy’ formal rank was a helped pass the powder in a human -

—

chain to the guns. using sailors who were not directty involved in the fighting.

Ships‘ standing orders prevented young boys working in or near

A ‘powder man‘ nominated to each opposing pair ol guns monitored the cartridges. held

would

fireproof boxes. making sure that there were only two bags at powder at any one time. and that no sparks got near the gunpowder.

The youngest sailors would also have had a ‘fireman’ role. damping down loose gunpowder to prevent explosions. in

Now computerised, the fully up-to-date records of the huge MOD collection have come a long way lrom the days when they were laboriously recorded using a card index system.

There are low better vantage points to get a grip of thescale of devastation wrought here on September 11 2001. Images cannot do it justice. Words cannot do itlustice. The site is immense.

This tire station is literally a stones throw from the Trade Center. its crews were among the first to respond to the tires spreading through the twin towers. Six men never retumad, their names engraved in a simple bronze plaque: All gave some. some gave aIL "By all laws, this station should not exist. Lt Donachie. station commander, explains to the sailors.

“The whole site was a raging inlemo. There were huge metal chunks of steel and concrete all over the place.

That dreadtul Tuesday three years ago has scarred the Big Apple physically and mentally. ltisa verydr‘l'terentNewVbrk from the one last visited by a British flat-top.

This is a nervy. edgy New

National Guardsmen practise drlll, mair annoured Humvee vehicles parked up amid hot dog stands and street traders selling lake brand names.

Even Liberty is restricted.

The statue, that is. No longer can tourists climb to the top or the uitimate symbol at theFree Wortd. Since September 11

2001, that privilege has been

denied.

Surveying

the site of the tom-ier World Trade Center, such wariness is understandable.

Once there were t6 acres of devastation here. today there are 16 acres of building site.

To the uninitiated it looks simply that: a vast building site, a gigantic concrete and steel hole in the ground.

Few building sites however are adorned with as many Stars and Stripes fluttering in

the summers breeze. Fewer stillif any are dominated by a

simple cross or steal, crafted

from the ruins of what was the Wortd Trade Center.

There‘: a determination among New Yorkers to still call this wasteland the Wortd ‘ltade center. its markedthat way on maps and many signs.

Subway trains still run to or through the ‘center’.

Andjustas in life, so in deathand now rebirth the cornerstone of a new skyscraper, theFreedom Tower, was laldon thesiteonJuty4, watched by Admiral Mast the ‘center’ remains a major tourist ‘attraction’,outstripping many museums. Sightseeing buses scurry past, pedestrians read billboardsattempting to explain what happened on September 11 and since.

And so it is not surprising that the crew of Invincible, Cornwall and Fort George Ialt the need to come here.

In the past three years. the actions and deeds ol the Royal Navy and Royal Marines have —

-

pretty much been intertwined with what happened here that late summers morning and its still unresolved aftermath.

And maybe thatsit. Maybe, to paraphrase Kennedy, every sailorand green beret can today sey: ‘I am a New Yorker.‘

MANY films about the Royal Navy in the days oi sail show oiiicers wearing the wrong sort of sword.

This contrasts with the care otten talien over many other details ol costume and. says John McGrath of the Royal Navy Amateur F r,-ncing Association. there are few eiicuses for this carelessness.

Unlike the Army. where patterns varied with arm and regiment. the evolution oi naval swords is really quite simple. he maintains in his booklet Swords for Officers of the Royal Navy he has drawn together the various strands oi evolution oi both the sword and its fittings.

The slotted hilt sword of c 1780 (below. right) was popular with (i”ICer§ of both the Navy and the Army. It was a simple hanger with a curved single-edged blade.

anniversary.

Around 2,500 submariners a year are currently trained in the tank. which was commissioned specifically to teach submariners escape techniques in the unlikely event ot a submarine accident.

Instructors (all submariners themselves) undergo a threemonth training period. followed by a continuous development programme of up to 18 months.

“We teach them a technique of breath-holding.so they can, it necessary. move through the water quickly without causing bubbles, which would completely obscure the view of other safety staff." explained Officer in charge SETT Lt Cdr Bob Mannion.

Students start off making ascents from nine metres below the surface. graduating to 18 metres where, once the pressures were equal. the lock doors were opened at the demonstration, and the submariner emerged. exhallng all the way in the warm water to the top of the tank which can hold 150.000 gallons.

In a simple. but chilling display of the effects of pressure. the bag from the inside of a wine box was floated up. compressed to a third of its

IF you don’t like the colour scheme, you know exactly who to blame.

Lustys crew have WTR Karen Batehup to thank for the colour scheme applied to carpets and walls in the messes throughout the carrier, one ol the personal touches which will make the ship feel a little more like home on those months-longdeployments.

"Ther'mpor1ant thing‘ is she’: not battleship grey on the inside as well as the outside. said Karen. “Admittedly there wash? a lot of choice. It was this or grey. And if it was left to the blokes. she would have stayed grey.

Its part of the revamp process with teams from Babcoclr. carrying out Illustrious‘ refit. that crew are being consulted (within reason) on what they want to see in the ship. Savings made by the firm during the refit are being pumped back into Lusty to add '

Habitabllrty on land and at sea has long been Jacks gn'pe. Its difficult to make fundamental changes to a warship designed

than so years ago and built in the mr'd- 1970s.

But even small tweaks will improve the sailor's lot. Extra 240 volt sockets for laptops. phone chargers and the like. Longer bunks (we're getting taller apparently), more TVs. video and DVD players, even extra fridges in the messes, all make life better off more

duty.

Oh and lkea lights. Yes, after all those years the RM is finally gettingridofthatmvfulchlnu.Gonetools thehideous flowery pattern whlchusedtoadorn seetsandsofas.

‘Turbulent’ were rough and ready YOUNG Officers at Britannia Royal Naval College Dartmouth helped run a Sea Cadet and Combined Cadet Force camp there. writes S/LTSimon Shaw.

I was the Coordinated Assistant Divisional Officer of Turbulent Division. which was a mix of 40 Sea Cadets. CCF Cadets and Directorate of Naval Recruiting sponsored potential otticer candidates who were there to get a taste of the Royal

Navy.

My cadets

made a banner which they took to any competition we took part in. including It's a Knockout and other sporting events.

At the end of the camp I and the other assistant divisional otticers promised the cadets we would get a picture of their banner into Navy News so here it is.

The RN won the toss and elected to bat. only to lose a succession ot wickets in the lirst 10 overs in ditlicult conditions.

Only CPO Paul Barsby (HMS Heron) managed to master the situation. scoring an excellent 62 which lomied the backbone of a mediocre 132 all out oil 50 overs.

In reply, Somerset rarely looked troubled. especially after AEA Keith Adams (Heron) was taken oil. Heron shipmatc Lt Cdr Chris Slocombe bowled very neatly. but the result was never in doubt and the home side hit their target with seven wickets to spam.

The word Commando is originally Portugese, and was used by the south Africans during the Boer War at the turn of the 20th century to describe military units.

Then in World War II, the British started to use Commando for elite Army infantry units who were used in amphibious raids. Am hibious raids means when troops rush from a s ip on to the shore to carry out their military role.

The birth of the AdmiraI’s

Regiment

The call went out on October 28, 1664, for 1,200 soldiers to serve in the Navy's Fleet.

The new unit was called the Duke of York and Albany's Maritime Regiment of Foot. But, since the Duke of York was also the Lord High Admiral (and let's be honest, that long name is a bit of a mouthfull),the soldiers became known as the Adrnira|‘s

Regiment.

These men were trained to be both soldiers and sailors, and served in

warships.

From these beginnings the current Royal

Marines were born.

The Royal Marines have been part and parcel of

the Royal
