Dlstnbuted throughoot all RAN shIPS and establishments and 10 selVlng perronoel wherever they may be.

T he Federal Gover nment has a nnounced new improved arrangements for setting condit ions of ser· vice for operalional deployments overseas, which will assist Navy in prm"iding more timely lind appropriate deployment cond it ions.

Basically. the new centralised process transfers the authority to set the conditions of service for deployments, from other Government Departments to the ADF.

1bis process should ensure simplicity. consistency and flexibility in establishing conditions at the time personlleJ are deployed.

In the past . conditions of service for personnel 011 over­seas deployment were worked out on an individual basis involving several government departments as each deploy­ment was announced.

Factors taken into account in determining the package included an assessment of the expected threat and the working environment.

ll>e same factors will be used. but will be applied to the new method.

COMPENSA TION During recent deployments compensation cover provid­

ed under the Veterans' Entitlements Act has seemed less important than money in the pocket.

In the long ruo the level of compensation cover. because

Deployment conditions

streamlined it may offer financial protection in later yean; afrer retire­ment. isjust as important as the other benefits available.

The importance of compensation cover has been restored in the new arrangements.

l1Je level of oompensation oover is based on the expect­ed degree of thn:at and hazard which may be met in the area of operations.

ll>e assessment is based on a threat assessment raised by the Defence Intelligence Organisation and the level of cover is subsequently approved by the M ioiste r for Veterans' Affairs.

In future. the Minister for Defence in consultation with the Prime Minister will declare a deployment warlike or

non-warlike rather than the terms operational or hazardous which have been used in recent times. as part of the deci ­sion to deploy ADF personnel.

Warlite service will generally encompass military activ­ity where the application of force is authorised and non­warlike service encompasses activities which fall shoo of warlike. bot carries risks. and the use of force is limited to self defence.

CONDITIONS ll>e oonditions of service package for over.;eas warlike

or non warlike deployment will be made up of such bene­fits as compensation cover. ta~ation benefits . housing assistance. pre embarkation leave. war service leave. and a deployment allowance and the ultimate package will reflect the type of service n:ndered.

These benefits will be available in addition to the allowances which personnel usually receive. such as seagoing allowance. submarine service allowance and sep­aration allowance.

Personnel on warlike or non-warlike deployment over­seas are not entitled to the nonnal allowam:es associated with an over.;eas posting.

Each applicable Conditions of Service package will be promulgated in detail befon: each deployment.

After an overseas deployment and a busy two­week Ass isted Maintenance Period in C airns, "MAS IPSWICH left Australian waters again - des­tination Bronei for Exercise PE~GUIN 1993.

Unfortunately, a day and a half out of Darwin, IPSWICH was forced to rum back for Australia after discovering a major main engine gearbox defect.

Upon return, IPSWICH docked at Darwin Naval Base - and remained there for three and a half weeks!

With so much time alongside in Darv.in. it was suggested thai the palrol boat become a pan of the "Top End Navy".

It was declined - wilh another overseas deployment in August!

With the ~ent burial o( Captain Eric Nal'e RN (rtd) an imporunt chapter in Australian Naval history closed.

Born in Sooth Australia in 1899 he joined the Royal Australian Navy as a Paymas ter Clerk in Mareh 1917. •

He $elVed ooboard HMAS ENCOUNTER during the Great War lind Wl!i lalcr to serve onboard HMA Ships TINGIRA, AUSTRALIA and MELBOURNE.

During the early 1920$ he volunleered. and was selected fOf" Japanese language !nin­i",.

After initial studie s at Sydney University, Nave went to Japan 10 funher his stUdies.

[n a language proficieney lesl. he achieved 910 marks OUt of a jXMible 1000.

At the time Na\'e was only one of a handful of Australians who 00Il1d speak. Japanese.

RETURN During Ille 1924 vi$it to

Australia by a Japanese Training Squadron. Paymaster Lieutenant Nave was assigned 1.$ escort offi ­cer and interpreler 10 the Adminli Shichigor Saito.

In the course of his duties Nave came into close contacl with many of the people who .... ere later to play an innuen. tial tole in Aus tralia and J....,.

N'\"e returned 10 Australia but unfortunately the RAN did not possess the organisa-

tion to fully utilbe his lin­guistic skills .

In 1925. the then Paymaster Lieutenanl Nave was seeonded 10 the Royal Navy and posted to HMS HA WKlNS. flagship of the China Squadron. where he commenced his eareer of working on Japanese codes.

Two years later Nave was posted to the United Kingdom and commenced work with the Government Code and Cypher School.

[n 1930 Paymaster Lieu­lenant Commander Nave transferred 10 the Royal Navy and continued to work on Japanese codes.

RELOCATED In 1937, as an RN orrlCer,

he returned to Hong Kong 10

commc:oce work with the Far East Combined Bureau.

The FEC B relocated to Singapore. where it remained until evacuation.

Nave became ill and was eventually pOSted to Australia

With the approval of Admiral Sir Ragnar Colvin RN. the then Chief of Naval Staff, Nave establiShed a small signals intell igence organisalion in Melbourne.

This group began working on low-level Japanese codes but were prevented from attacking the higher level codes as they laclted the vilal keys.

•

After much persistence, by Nave and others. the British began to pass on the higbee level consular keys to

the Australians. ODe ofthe ·~~~~-c important

me-5S1ges reuieved by Nave's codebreakers was a decryption on Decemtx-r 4. 1941 instruc ting Japanese Consular s taff to destroy most of their codes and cyphers.

Thi s provided a small amount of warning as to the . poss ibility of a Japanese attack.

ASID No indication was given

as 10 when and where this auack would take place.

After Ihe outbreak o f the war in Ihe Pacific Nave' s organisation was co- located with the United States Naval cryp tographers who had been evacuated from the fortress of Corregidor and

. the RAN signals intelligence group under Commander Jack Newman RAN.

After Ihe war, with the rllnk of Acting Capt. in. Nave returned to Hong Kong and. in the late 1940s Nave became involved in the negotiations Ihat led to the establishment of ASIO.

He disappeared into obscurity uotilthe publicll­tion of ~Betrayal at Pearl Harbour" whiCh was co­authored by James Rusbridger.

DFRT visits

TROSS The Derence Force

Re muneration Tribunal (DFRT) has held a rormal !'e\'lew of the pay le,'els for RAN Technical Sailors at KMAS ALBATROSS.

The review is a result of thc restructuring of the Navy's IeChnical trades train­ing.

HMAS ALBATROSS was the first Navy venue to hold a formal DFRT hearing.

The Navy's new technical structure will amalgamate some of the existing cate­gories, and provide a more multi-skilled sai lor. These changes will provide an increase in the work value of the Navy's technical sailors.

The DFRT has been requested to n:view the pay levels of technical sailors to take into account this new training, new categories and subsequent more mu lti­skilled sailor.

'Help groupl formed

The Training Department at HMAS ALBATROSS has formed a "community help group".

It helps local organisations by providing manpower to carry out projects such as gardening, maintenance and minor construction work.

First project was the con­struction of a concrete cyclefwheel track in the playground of Bomaderry Primary School for children with special needs.

SPORTS SECTION •

Fright for NTRU As a final commitment to the FCP Kakadu One. a

Combined RAN team took on the might of the Northern TerrilOf)' Representative Rugby Union side (NTRU).

The game was played under lights at Darwin's Marrara SportS Comple,;, with the RAN losing 30-22 in what was an entertaining game,

TIle RAN side was well represented by personnel from all major units (HM A Ships SUCCESS, HOBA RT. MEL­BOURNE. T ORRENS and SWAN) and HMAS COON­AWARRA.

With the NTRU's strong record against international and louring sides the Navy side was expecting "big lhings" from the locals.

Bm al halftime. much to the surprise of the locals, Navy led 19-10.

However, in the second half NTRU dominated the serums and capitalised on the possession and two quick tries ensued.

Overall. the RAN side performed excepfionally well in view of the limited oppon unities the side had together after a nine­day major fleet exeKisc.

Promising side HMAS SYDNEY paid.

Shield win for

During HMAS JERVIS BA V's d eployment to Somalia sport alongside was relatively non-existent.

But th is lack of sport ashore was well and truly compensated for in the fonn of onboard ship competi­tions.

The Duchess Shield was up for grabs in an inter­depanmental mini Olympics.

Eleven events were con­ducted ranging from sprint races to novelty relays with the eventual winners being the NEOC trainees.

TIle Phantoms (POs mess) dominated most intcr-depan­mental competitions for the trip, winning round one of the MJ.S. Keay volleyball knockout and the Fogerty Fagen SilieJd.

TIle Fogerty Fagen Shield was awarded to the winner of the inter-departmenta l "Pub" sportS competition .

T he competi tion was made up of knockouts in darts, carpet bowls and table tennis.

The final competition held before Mogadishu was round two of the MJ.S. Keay vol­leyball which was won by the COMMS departments which just beat (you guessed it), the Phantoms.

area inter-Service tennis competition. Hosted by RAAF, the venue for the three­

day event was the hard couns in the Perth suburb of Sorrento.

In the first match Navy easily accounted for Anny 6-3.

But in the contest against RAAF with a score of 4-all it was our !bird-seeded doubles

Hot on the leader's trail is WATSON witb 12 points and then locked on 10 points are KUlTABUL, NIRIMBA and PLATSfWATERHEN.

PENGUIN is at tbe tail with two points having not won a game and forfeiting on two occasions.

The points system this year allows four for a win, two for a 100s and minus two for a forfeit.

After the five rounds there is one game outstanding with PLATS/WATERHEN to play NIRlMBA.

Meanwhile, in Perth Navy has won the annual inter­Service Rugby series.

Navy rallied Anny's hopes early with a 16-13 victory.

Accordiog to Army spokesman, Lieutenant Jim Phillips, Army led with 10 minutes to go.

"But they gradually gOl 01\

Army kept tbeir hopes alive oext day beating RAAF 36-12.

"RAAF laeked teamwork and were never in it," Lieutenant Philtips said.

"They only scored when we lost concentratioo and took it easy: he said.

11le lapse in concentrat.on was 001 evident in the Navy_ RAAF contest the sailors thrashiog RAAF 57-6 to take the litle.
