MIDPAC 11 Cricket match at Diamond Head By LSIS Yuri Ramsey Azure water and a pod of dolphins greeted HMAS Perth (CAPT Mal Wise) as she pulled into Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on 6 June as part of Mid-Pacific 2011 (MIDPAC 11) deployment. MIDPAC 11 saw Perth test and evaluate the Anti-Ship Missile Defence (ASMD) Upgrade whilst HMAS Sydney (CAPT Peter Leavy) conducted Standard Missile 2 and Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile firings at the Pacific Missile Range Facility off Hawaii. On the morning of 9 June, ship's company from both Perth and Sydney played cricket against the Honolulu Cricket Club of Waikiki. After a fairly close game, with an excellent knock by LSCIS Nathan Zessin and a good performance by ABMT David Harmer with both the bat and ball, Perth eventually lost to the Honolulu Cricket Club by three wickets and three overs. The Sydney cricket team also fell to the prowess of the home team, managing to score 66 runs, while the locals scored 157 with 3 wickets to spare after 20 overs. LSPT David Abery from Perth said that the games were a great way to kick-start the port visit. “Both teams battled hard to upset the Honolulu Cricket Club but the locals’ polish and experience on the field won over us,” he said. On the evening of 9 June, Perth hosted an official function where officers from the United States Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard as well as local VIPs were treated to Australian hospitality, with marinated kangaroo on skewers proving a favorite of the guests. The night was concluded with a Ceremonial Sunset led by Guard Commander LEUT Sean Bates. The following evening the officers of Perth and Sydney held a combined Wardroom Mess Dinner onboard ‘the Mighty Mo’, the battleship USS Missouri. 60 Officers enjoyed a traditional RAN mess dinner under the imposing 16 inch guns of USS Missouri, venue of the signing of the Declaration of Surrender by the Japanese at the conclusion of World War Two. 24 SeaTalk Spring 2011
