P.O'Connor, addressed the followingquestion to the Minister for the<strong>Navy</strong>:Are the 14 gunboats ordered forthe <strong>Navy</strong> to be an adaptation <strong>of</strong>an existing class or have they beendesigned by our own naval architects?As the speed <strong>of</strong> these gunboatswill equal only that <strong>of</strong> manymodern freighters, will not thislack <strong>of</strong> speed affect their efficiency?Why are our gunboats to have sucha low speed when some countriesare building vessels <strong>of</strong> this type withspeeds ranging from 40 to 50knots? Will the Minister reconsiderthis matter with the ohjec: <strong>of</strong> increasingthe speed <strong>of</strong> these vesselsand thereby increasing theiroverall efficiency?Mr. Chaney's reply . . .In the first place the 14 vesselsreferred to will not be gunboats.They will be patrol boats and thespeed <strong>of</strong> which they will be capableis considered sufficient for patrolboat purposes. They will be poweredby two diesel engines and willbe able to attain any speed that isnecessary for them. They are beingbuilt to an <strong>Australia</strong>n design preparedby <strong>Australia</strong>n naval archi-:ects for a particularly <strong>Australia</strong>njob.TARTAR MISSILEIn the House <strong>of</strong> Representativeson 21st October, <strong>1965</strong>, Mr. K.

It isencouraging to note that the independenceand integrity <strong>of</strong> membernations have been strengthenedsince the Manila Treaty was signed.It is also timely to take stock <strong>of</strong>the dangers that still threaten theTHE NAVY, <strong>Nov</strong>.-D.c -<strong>Jan</strong>., <strong>1965</strong>-<strong>1966</strong>Soulh-East Asia Collective Defence Treatybe armed considered or have wejust taken the missiles that comewith the ships?MR CHANEVS REPLYAs to whether we have just takenthe equipment that comes with theships, I remind the honourablegentleman that the guided missiledestroyers or D.D.G.'s in the UnitedStates <strong>of</strong> America were originallyfiled with Asroc missiles, whereasthe <strong>Australia</strong>n D.D.G.'s will be fittedwith the <strong>Australia</strong>n designedand built Ikara. This is being donebecause it is believed that the lkarais an anti-submarine weapon sup.erior to the Asroc missile. As tothe merits <strong>of</strong> the Tartar guidedmissile compared to the Seaslug, Iam not aware that the Tartar itonly 25 per cent accurate. I understoodthat the percentage <strong>of</strong> accuracyachieved in tests carried out bythe Americans was much higherthan this. However. I shall lookinto the matter. I can assure toehonourable gentleman that the Tartarhas been chosen because at thetime when it was decided on it wasconsidered to be the superior antiaircraftmissile.security <strong>of</strong> the Treaty area. Thestruggle to maintain freedom againstCommunist infiltration and subversionmust still be carried on. In VietNam aggression has reached a newpeak <strong>of</strong> violence and intensity, and,in accordance with the objectives <strong>of</strong>the Manila Treaty, <strong>Australia</strong> hasincreased the support it is givingto the Government and people <strong>of</strong>South Viet Nam, and has addedmilitary support to civil aid.<strong>Australia</strong> takes this opportunityto reaffirm its belief in SEATO andthe purposes for which it was founded.We will remain alert and readyto act in co-operation with likemindedcountries against the threatsto the peace and progress <strong>of</strong> thearea.I would also like to say on thisanniversary that we see the purposes<strong>of</strong> SEATO as being wider thanmilitary defence. Under SEATO, asunder the Colombo Plan, we arededicated to promoting the economicprogress and social well-beingamong the peoples <strong>of</strong> the Treatyarea. Our own programmes <strong>of</strong>SEATO Aid are continuing to thisend.This anniversary occasion enablesme to extend warm best wishes tothe new Secretary - General <strong>of</strong>SEATO, His Excellency GeneralVargas, <strong>of</strong> the Philippines, and torenew friendly greetings to all fellowmembers.Page Forty-en«
