NAVY WEEKIN AUSTRALIANavy Week is one week in each year when Australiansfrom coast to coast are urged to pay grateful tribute tothose who have served and those now serving Australia atsea.During this week it is fit and properthat a nation of free men and womengive well-deserved honour and recognitionto the patriotic and victoriousachievements of its men of the sea.It is the week for Australians torededicate themselves to those principlesof freedom and self-governmentwhich they cherish. It is a weekin which grateful citizens shouldsalute their Royal Australian Navyand make sure that it is adequate tofulfil its contribution to our nationalsecurity.In the Royal Australian Navy themonth of October has always heldspecial significance. The 21st commemoratesthe 166th anniversaryof the victory of the Battle ofTrafalgar. Fought in the Atlantic, offthe southern coast of Spain, it wasthe last great Naval battle to befought under sail alone.Fifty-eight years ago. on October 4.1913. the Australian Fleet steamedinto Sydney Harbour. Navy Week.1971. was planned to coincide withthe anniversary of the Fleet's entry.The arrival of the ships in 1913 wasan event Australians had looked forwardto for half a century. Theywere their own ships, paid for bytheir own money and manned inlarge proportion by their own men;the nucleus of what they hopedwould be their own Fleet.The Squadron comprised theBattle Cruiser Australia; LightCruisers Encounter, Sydney, Melbourneand the Torpedo BoatDestroyers Warrego, Parramattaand Yarra.It is appropriate at this time torecall the words expressed by thethen Prime Minister of Australia. TheHonourable ST joseph Cook"Since Captain Cook's arrival, nomore memorable event hashappened than the advent of the AustralianFleet. As the former markedthe birth of Australia, so the latterannounces its coming of age. itsrecognition of the growing responsibilitiesof nationhood, and itsresolve to accept and dischargethem as a duty both to itself and tothe Empire. The Au r tralian Fleet isnot merely the embodiment offorce. It is the expression of Australia'sresolve to pursue, infreedom, its national ideals, and tohand down unimpaired andunsullied the heritage it hasreceived, and which it holds andcherishes as an inviolable trust. It isin this spirit that Australia welcomesits Fleet, not as an instrument of war.but as the harbinger of peace.''Programme Of Eventsarranged forNavy Week, 1971Friday. October 1Monday.
