LOST: HMS A GINCOURT THIS month we start taking a took at another set ol Naval ttgureheads those now lost forever. Or maybe not With the real changes in warship design and construction In the alter halt oi the 19th century the tradition oi wooden tlgureheeds was coming almost to an and. At the same time the sweeping clipper s to bows was giving way to the great ram bows oi the new ronclads. I-IMS Aglncourt was built by the Thames Ironworks at Blackwell in 1865. one oi the three Minotaur class oi ironclad trlgates. Minotaur. Aglncourt and Northumberland. She was tully rigged with. uniquely. live masts and a steam engine protected by a live inch armoured belt on a ten inch teak backing hull. With a displacement oi 10.800 tons. she canted a complement or just over 800 men and had a single gun deck with tour 9|n guns and 24 7th muzzle-loaded rilled guns. The carved decoration at the bow shows in great detail the transition ol styles. the usual human it me giving way to a large Royal coal at arms with Prince 0 Wales leathers and massive lion and unicorn supports. almost wrapping round a vertical bow. tapering down the side at the vessel with scrolls and tlags. Painted tn lull colour. this heraldic confection was designed to impress. Agincourt saw steedtast service in a numberor stations around the world. but no action. She was a notoriously bad sea keeper and like many vessels built in this period was soon overtaken by advances in naval architecture. In the early 1900: she was used tor harbour service belore being used as a training vessel in 1904 together with her sister ship Minotaur under the name Boscawen III. By 1906 she had been re-named again, Gen II. but this was only to lost another two years. In 1 she was removed trom the training establishment. given the new identification C. 109. and used as a coal hulk at Sheerness -

What’s this big round thing, then? ‘Sir. Can someone tell me if this round thing which I found in the Aegean could be a sea mine?‘ This was the e-mail message we received from Constantinos Gofas of Athens. Greece and. well. apparently not. Constantinos. We ran it past the boffins at the Defence Explosive Ordnance Disposal School in Kent and they responded that. despite the poor quality of the image and a degree of accretion. there were

It could be a navigational buoy but sports divers are advised to treat such finds with extreme cau~ tion and to inform the authorities. This was the word from CPOtD) Simon Lovell when he surfaced after taking part in a ioint Service operation to destroy an unexploded rocket in the waters off Pyla Ranges. Cyprus last month (inset). "A lot of these devices have been lying on the seabed for years. but it is wrong to assume that just because they are under water. they are safe." he warned. —

IT WAS very nice to read the letter from R. V. West thanking my brother Billy for organising the memorial senriec for the htlth anniversary of the I)-Day landings.

Billy was one of four Swift brothers to join the Navy in World War II. I was the youngest and when I joined in August I94} I was still only I7 so I was lirsl drafted to a seaplane tender IIMS Albatross in Plymouth lliirhour.

lined up on the quarterdeck to he sent to the shore barracks prior to heing sent abroad. We were tied up akmgside a French battleship. the Paris. which was being used as a hase ship. The Petty Officer had called us to attention and gone below to report to the olTicer of the day that we were ready to leave. There were large doors in the side of this hattleship and they were always open. Suddenly a Wren dressed only in her bra and knickers appeared in this doorway IX

we were

The petty officer came hack uup to say the officer of the day was not coming up so we could all leave. I realised afterwards that as the officers‘ mess deck was opposite this door he would be glued to the ponholt: as this would be their daily treat. It was a treat I have never to

I went on to serve ll'l Coastal I-orccs, drafted to M1. 837 in Tohrult where I found I was in the middle of a war between the young lads who had commissioned the boat and some old hands who came on later and tried to demand the bunks. of which there were only I2.

0 Murphy: lore: (Left) No patrol would be complete without the squadrons mascot, Murphy {'acquired' from the

RAF).

The duo, built in 1993 for duties in Northern lreland. arrived in Gibraltar in 212 when the political situation around the lochs became less tense. Scimitar and Sabre operate with a complement of live, including a memberof the locally-raised Gibraltar Regiment who serves as a gunner. Normally. the t6—metre {55ft) boats cruise around territorial waters at 17lIts,- flat out they can reach (Dias. powered by two Man 248) LXE diesel engines. The boats take up the tradition of their torebears. also patrol boats in the 19% and 8):, and notably two 5 class destroyers built for service in World War I, but which were far busier in the second global conflict a generation later. Both flew the White Ensign from 1918 to 1947.

The patrol boats are assisted by Rigid lnllatable Boats. or Rlss, which can travel at almost twice the speed of Scimitar and Sabre. and which are also fitted lor ma-

chine-guns.

The Gibraltar Squadron itself now renamed the Gibraltar Patrol Boel Squadron was formed in 1%5 when the RAF disbanded its maritime unit on the Rock. The RN acquired two former RAF vessels Sunderland and Stirling, renamed HMS Connorant and Hart which were used until P2000s HMS Ranger and Trumpeter amvod on the scene in 1991. The P211115 used in UK waters as training boats for University Royal Naval Units patrolled admirably for the next decade. But the changed security situation in the wake of September It meant the boats were not nimble enough for present-day tasks, so they were returned to Blighty and replaced. -

whose death at the

height of

his most imponant victory was regarded by many at the time as the more significant event. a loss outweighing the gain? We have noted lately that his celebrated tactic of breaking the enemy line in two places. which he claimed hit his colleagues “like an electric shock ‘It was new it was singular”'etc. wasn't original at all Duncan employed the same trick at Camperdown in 1797 and so did Hood at the Saintes in 1782. Nelson was occasionally too reckless for his and anyone else's own good. Alter losing all the value of surprise at Tenerife he continued to press attacks on a heavily protected fortification with the result that many of his men died needlessly and he himself lost an arm He remained supremely popular with his sailors. though. and with the population at large. But he was not all that popular with the Naval Establishment. St .

Vincent. First Lord of the Admiral in 1805 originally later said 0 him: ‘Animal courage an ardent supporter was the sole merit of Lord Nelson. his private character most disgraceful, in every sense of the word.‘ Even his closest triends could be embarrassed by his vanity and vulgar display after his victory at the Nile he gave real offence by his triumphal progress through urope and England. flaunting his equally llamboyant mistress. Emma Lady Hamilton. with whom he lived in a bizarre menage a trots with her husband William. He treated his wile and several of his former —

1.000 unpublished letters. discovered over the past five

years with the Nelson Letters Project initiated by the National Maritime and Royal Navy Museums. will no doubt open up all kinds ol new insights into his singular character. For instance. of the 1797 mutiny at Spithead. Nelson wrote. it has been the most Manly thing I ever heard of and does the British sailor infinite honour.‘ And perhaps here lies the answer to our question Nelson, besides possessing a great many human lailings. also addressed his fellow man with great humanity and consideration (apart from at Naples in the aftermath of the insurrection of 1799 in which he displayed uncharacteristic savagery in the execution of the principals). He well knew the value of public relations (the famous story of his recalling the mail ship to pick up a single man‘s letter home may be apochryphal. but was wholly typical of the way his people viewed him) but he was ‘

equally adept at sell-promotion.

To the Establishment. as we have seen. he was a bit of a loose cannon. That remark about the Spithead mutiny was. not surprisingly, excised from a collection ot his letters published in 1809 as just a tad too politically incorrect as it would have been in similar circum—

stances

today

So you can also ask yourself, had Nelson failed to deliver the goods at Trafalgar. would the powers-that-be have leaped to his defence’? You can bet your sweet life they wouldn't have.

40 Commando is just one strand of the Senior Services presence in the Iraq area. The media may concentrate upon ‘British troops ', but there's the whole range of RN capabilitiesin the

region.

To reinforce that message. Commander-in-Chief Fleet Admiral Sir JonathonBand visited numerous RN units in theatrelast month. The admiral dropped in on the smallband of RN personnel at Basra internationalAirport beforeclimbing into an RAF Puma helicopter for the short flight to Umm Oasr; where the RN training team is helping the fledglingIraqi Navy safeguard its waters and look after its patrol craft. Next stop was 40 Cdos Shaibah base for a substantial tour of the establishment. including its HO centre, vehicle workshops,prison and self-contained sickbay dedicated to serving the green berets. O Evmr feel like you're living in a goldfish bowl? CINC FleetAdmiralSir Jonathon Admiral Band made a point of chatting to four Band! receives an update on HMS Somersets progress women who are attached to 40 cdo the any females serving with the commando unit. The women‘s task is -

to assist with thesearch of any Iraqi females encoun-

tered on patrols with the Royals. Offshore, Type 23 frigate HMS Somerset is safeguarding lraql interests in the northern Gulf, chiefly the oil piatfonns which are the outlet for Iraqi: lifeblood. The Devonport-based warship is supporting the international Task Force 58. in charge of security at sea in the northern Gulf, on duties such as boarding operations to check out vessels bound for or leaving ports a task which has been the staple diet of the RN since the days of the first Gulf war. CINC Fleet was fem'ed aboard Somerset by a Sea Hawk helicopter from HMAS Adelaide another sign or the internationalnature of operations in the region. ‘The visit was an excellent opportunity to demonstrate to AdmiralBand how the ship is working in this theatre and how the demands of this environment affect the ship and her people, " said Somersets Comrnanding Officer cdr DavidAxon. ‘It was also a valuable chance for the ships company to meet theircommander»-in-chief." -

The Royal Navy has two types of ships that search the seas for mines and unexploded bombs. These ships are the Sandown class and the Hunt class, and they are known as mine counter-memures vessels which is handily shortened to MCMV. These MCMVS are all made out of a material called glass-reinforced

And all these mines can count because when ships work in a task group, the more valuable ships tend to be the ones in the middle of the group. —

things.

In their early days mines were just big bombs that floated in the water and if a ship bumped into one, the mine exploded. But nowadays mines are

much more sophisticated. As well as the buoyant mines (the ones that float in the water), there mines that sit on the seabed. These mines can be magnetic so our MCMVS are made of plastic so that won't work.‘ or acoustic so our MCMVS have a superquiet electric engine qstem when they're in a mine area so they can't be heard.
