The immortal memory

remembered recently-restored

TrafalgarCemetery was the fitting setting for commemorations in Gibraltar marking the 199th anniversary of the RN‘s most decisive victory.

Cdre David White. the senior Naval officer and Commander of British Forces on the Rock. joined Gibraltar's governor Sir Francis Richards. Chief Minister Peter Caruana. local dignitaries. and serving personnel for the Trafalgar Day ceremony. Nelson's legendary prayer from the day of battle for a “great and glorious victory" and “humanity after victory" and Admiral's Collingwood's dispatch to the then governor of the colony were read out during proceedings at the burial ground which, despite its name. is the final resting place for only a handful of victims of the October 21 battle (the majority were buried at sea). The cemetery just beyond Gibraltar‘s historic walls was restored by sailors based on the Rock. overseeing teenagers

service. The refurbishment was aided by £200 provided by the Friends of the Gibraltar

Heritage Society.

Back in the UK. the village of Madron outside Penzance hosted personnel from RNAS Culdrose as it has done for nearly 60 years in marking

Trafalgar.

The first news of the victory reached fishermen in Mounts Bay, who passed word of the triumph and Nelson's death to townsfolk. The crowd who heard the news immediately headed for the Church of St Maddern at Madron where a memorial service was held and .1 —

The Queen was joined by Prince William and Prime Minister Tony Blair. who watched around 9.000 veterans parade along Whitehall. More than 1.000 civilians were also involved in the ceremonies.

Mr Blair and other political leaders also laid wreaths. followed by Commonwealth High Commissioners and top military otlicers. When all the wreaths had been laid. there was a short service conducted by Bishop of London. Richard Chartres.

Sadly. the RAF are the business they’re in a league of their own." CPO Wilson added. And so it proved. The RAF were declared Forces champions although they didn't have it all their own way. HMS Raleigh cook CH Russell Cartwright took home the title of Junior Chet of the Year after serving up stuffed chicken breast in madeira sauce. sweet potato mash, baby roast vegetables and a rhubarb and almond tartlot dessert.

Leadership in community

THE

CHAPLAIN of the Fleel's feeling that today's young Service people are a tad more tuned in to spiritual matters than their immediate forebears were will no doubt oorne as a big surprise to both parties. It shouldn't do. though. Over the past century their par-

grandparents and great-grandparents by and large accepted the (lgl'Ilf\8S$of the causes they were thrown into by the powers~that-be.The present generation isn‘t so sure. It tends to ask questions and expects answers. ents.

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition

—

There don't seem to be any immediate answers in the current conflict we face a toe who has moved the goal posts so far off the pitch that it amounts to a whole new ball game with rules (if there are any) we have yet to establish. Barry Hammett may not have a clear set of answers none of us do. as yet. But he understands the questions his own parishoners are asking and also understands where they are coming from. Naval chaplains. from their shared experience. are uniquely qualified to engage in the debate. They are neither ‘holyjoe' nor ‘happy clappy' ministers to their flock. having instead a sensible. pragmatic view of its corioems and needs. Their counterpans in the wider. civilian parish should take note of the Senior Service's own commonsense sense of community and translate it back into the spiritual leadership in which they were once pre-eminent. Against that we have the widely reported and at first sight highly sensational decision by the C0 of HMS Cumberland. after due consultation with his own ship's chaplain, to allow a member of his ship's company to register as a practising Satanist. How does that sit with the Senior Service's view of itself as a ‘Force for Good”? Well. we are all now required by law to give provision in the workplace for employees to follow the devotions of their chosen beliefs and in that context this must be the right decision. The official line is: ‘As a matter of general policy, personal requests for time and facilitiesto observe religious or other beliefs are considered by commanding officers. provided that they do not impact on the operational effectiveness and general well-being and welfare of other personnel.‘ It is insisted that the sailor does NOT perform any satanic rituals aboard ship. —

Almost breathless now. he repeated that he needed to ask me a uestion because of something I at had mst happened. "After a deep. steadying breath he explained that he had been kneeling in one of the rooms on the first floor. in the process of fittin some new electrical sockets wit his tool roll laid out beside him. ‘Workingquietly. in at world of his own. he suddenly realised that his tools were bcin handed to him. He had thought alone in the building. after letting himself in and loclsing the door behind him. "He described his assistant‘ as ‘a friendly old man in unilurm' who h.id not spoken. but had smiled and nodded in benign .ie|.nivw|edgement. The surprise had caused the eli:ctrician to close his t.'_\r:s briefly. and when he opened them. the old man hail vanished.

Another sighting piissihly rel.ited to Byng occurred in the Otieen Anne (‘ourt basement. ‘A member of the maintenance staff had just finished worlt there and was preparing to leave. carrying his tools and a small ladder. As he approached the exit. he saw someone holding the door open for him. Grateful for the unprompted assistance. the maintenance man

PER$ONNELinDevonpor'I were holding a major exercise todemonstratehowPlymouth would respond to a nuclear accident as Navy News went to press.

Exercise Short Sermon was designed to test how Naval Base personnel and the civilian authorities’ including‘ Devon and Cornwall Police and Plymouth City Council deal with an accident aboard one oi Devonport's nuclear subma‘

—

nnes.

As part oi the exercise. personnel were being evacuated to shelter stations on the base. although no-orie outside the establishment was required to Ialie shelter. Members of the public were not directly affected by the exercise. although there was the simulated distribution at potassium iodate tables to some homes and premises within a 2lim radius oi the Naval base. as sailors posted notices through letter boxes. In four decades of operating nuclear boats, there has never been an accident which involved the release of any radioactive materials into the environment. Beyond MOD and RN responses to a possible nuclear accident involving HM submarines. the Health and Salety Executive requires regular exercises to test emergency

No radioactive materials were used in the exercise.

A TEN-strong team of runners from the RN Athletics Club headed to Spain to take part in the Granada half marathon. After training in the Sierra Nevada mountains, the team moved on to Granada itself for the race. which took place in hot and humid conditions alongside 1.200 athletes. The 13-mile slog took the competitors around the main sights of the city. skirting around the heights of the Alhambra Palace. PO(WTR) Paul Leviclt and PO(AEM| Allan Jones (both RNAS Yeoviltonl were the Senior Service'e eariy pacesetters. working hard to stay with the leading group. POIH) Pete Waumsleystarted steadily before working his way through the field passing his colleagues in the process becoming the second male military runner home (a Spaniard came first]. Allan and Paul took 3rd and 4th military positions -

respectively.

Drummorid (HMS Raleigh) was the first female military runner past the post and there was an excellent pertormance from Mne Michael wilsmore (42 Cdo) who was the fastest junior runner. Lt

Overall. the trip

was a

great

with the opportunity to experience a hall marathon ‘Spanish style‘ and take in the sights and sounds ol a wonderful Spanish city. success

the Seahawk, Sea Vixen, Venom and Vampire, and the Scimitar. The Buccaneer is often described as one of the

best aeroplanes ever bought for the Navy. It was a strike aircraft,

designed specifically to fly at a low level with a high speed. The first operational squadron of Buccaneers,
