easier said than achieved, but a start
has been made.
For some time now "The Navy"
magazine has been carrying articles
written by our members on specific
subjects, ranging from summaries
of the maritime capacities of our
neighbours, through the patrol boat
situation, the replacement of RAN
ships, to the new defence organisation
and Australian naval airpower
(in this edition). Many of these
articles have been republished in
daily newspapers or journals and
are frequently quoted.
One would hope to see League
members using the articles and information
emerging from our "study
groups" whenever the opportunities
arise — and indeed causing them to
arise. One would like to see a wider
spread of the study groups to cover
all States, looking at particular or
local maritime problems and
making their own contribution to
the League's store of information
and knowledge.
The aims and objects of the Navy
League are unquestionably sound,
and there is more than enough
talent and skills available in our
membership to enable us to fulfil
them. There will be no reward other
than the satisfaction of having
made an effort to contribute to the
well-being of our country.

established are:

the vital importance to the Commonwealth

Prestige on every sea and in every
port in the world.
