NAVY WEEK IN AUSTRALIANavy Week is one week in eachyear when Australians from coastto coast are urged to pay gratefultribute to those who have servedand those now serving Australiaat sea. During this week it is fitand proper that a nation of freemen and women give welldeservedhonour and recognitionto the patriotic and victoriousachievements of its men of thesea. It is the week for Australiansto rededicate themselves to thoseprinciples of freedom and selfgovernmentwhich they cherish.It is a week in which gratefulcitizens should salute their RoyalAustralian Navy and make surethat it is adequate to fulfill itscontribution to our nationalsecurity.In the Royal Australian Navythe month of October has alwaysheld special significance. The 21stcommemorates the 160th anniversaryof the victory of the Battleof Trafalgar. Fought in the Atlantic,off the southern coast ofSpain, it was the last great Navalbattle to be fought under sailalone.Fifty-two years ago. on the 4thOctober, 1913, the Australian Fleetsteamed into Sydney Harbour.Navy Week 1965, was planned tocoincide with the anniversary ofthe Fleet's entry.The arrival of the ships in 1913was an event Australians hadlooked forward to for half a century.They were their own ships,paid for by their own money andmanned in large proportion bytheir own men; the nucleus olwhat they hoped would be theirown Fleet.The Squadron comprised I heBattle Cruiser, Australia; LightCruisers, Encounter, Sydney andMelbourne and the Torpedo BoatDestroyers, Warrego. Parramattaand Yarra.It is appropriate at this timeto recall the words expressed bythe then Prime Minister of Australia,The Honourable Sir JosephCook:"Since Captain Cook's arrival,no more memorable event hashappened than the advent of theAustralian Fleet. As the formermarked the birth of Australia, sothe latter announces its comingof age. its recognition of thegrowing responsibilities of nationhood,and its resolve to acceptand discharge them as a duty bothto itself and to the Empire. Th :Australian Fleet is not merely theembodiement of force. It is theexpression of Australia's resolveto pursue, in freedom, its nationalideals, and to hand down unimpairedand unsullied the heritageit has received, and which it holdsand cherishes as an inviolabletrust. It is in this spirit that Australiawelcomes its Fleet, not asan instrument ol war, but as III •harbinger of peace."NEW SOUTH WALESThe following is a summary olthe Navy Day activities decidedupon for the Sydney area:Saturday. 2nd October, 1965:Australian Sea Cadet CorpsHeadquarters Units Open —1400-1600.T.S.
