Royal Navy

The U.S. Navy Reserves do not have a dedicated above-water force protection unit like the Royal Navy Reserves. However, Navy Reserve personnel can serve in various roles that support above-water operations, including logistics, information warfare, and engineering. The U.S. Navy integrates Reserve forces into its active duty operations, allowing them to contribute to maritime security and force protection missions when needed.

Yes, William Golding served as a lieutenant in the Royal Navy during World War II. He participated in various naval operations, including the D-Day landings. His experiences in the war significantly influenced his writing, particularly in his most famous novel, "Lord of the Flies," which explores themes of human nature and society.

HMS Kelantan, a Royal Navy frigate commissioned in 1944, typically had a crew complement of around 120 officers and sailors. This number could vary slightly depending on the specific operation or deployment. By 1945, HMS Kelantan was involved in various roles during World War II, contributing to anti-submarine warfare and convoy escort duties.

Ah, a Royal Navy ship's prison is called the "brig." It's a small, secure area on the ship where sailors who have broken the rules are kept until they can face disciplinary action. Just like in nature, we all make mistakes sometimes, but it's important to learn from them and strive to do better.

The Royal Navy Submarine Service's motto is "We come unseen." This motto reflects the stealth and covert nature of submarine operations, emphasizing the submarines' ability to operate discreetly and effectively beneath the surface of the water without detection. It underscores the importance of surprise and strategic advantage in naval warfare.

Gunboat Diplomacy is when a country intimidates another by way of military action. Gunboat Diplomacy is often used in reference to Theodore Roosevelt because he used gunboat diplomacy to intimidate the Chinese to open trade with the United States.

The beret was officially introduced for ratings in the Royal Navy in 1948. It replaced the traditional sailor's cap, known as the "square rig cap." The beret was adopted as part of a uniform modernization effort.

Yes, the Royal Navy is also referred to as the British Royal Navy or the Royal British Navy.

Whilst the Union Flag has never been officially adopted by law as the national flag of the UK, it has become so by usage (which can count for a lot in the British constitutional/legal system) and the government has stated it is the correct flag for use by British citizens.

Afloat though, the Union Flag has been reserved by the United Kingdom government for specific, military purposes. It is the jack of the Royal Navy and the flag of rank for an Admiral of the Fleet. These are the reasons why it is illegal for a civilian ship to fly it. A First Sea Lord will inevitably hold the rank of Admiral and it is therefore considered that the Union Flag would be flown from the bow jack-stay with the Royal Navy white ensign at the stern when alongside. When under-way a St. Georges flag as an Admirals ensign would additionally be flown from the main-mast.

Royal Cambodian Navy's motto is 'Defending the Kingdom of Cambodia'.

The motto of Royal Navy is 'If you wish for peace, prepare for war'.

Royal Thai Army's motto is 'เพื่อชาติ ศาสน์ กษัตริย์ และประชาชน'.

Gunboat diplomacy was used during the presidency of Theodore Roosevelt in the early 1900s. He used this form of intimidation against the Japanese, first with the USS Nashville sent on a "goodwill" mission to intimidate Japanese authorities, for he believed that they were not scared enough of the United States. And then with the Great White Fleet when he sent the entire US Navy on a voyage around the world to show the strength of our navy. The world reaction was different all over the world to this show of strength, however, Japan decided to buildup their navy after the Great White Fleet stopped in Tokyo harbor and subsequently, the United States signed the Root-Takahira treaty to keep a status quo in the Pacific ocean to avoid conflict. The Japanese believe that Roosevelt used this strategy because he was racist toward Japanese natives.

At the beaches of Dunkirk, france.

34,600 currently employed, 36,000 places. Shortfall of approx 3.5%. The RN consists of 6,600 officers and 28,000 ratings. Distributed as (all figures approximated): 18,580 Surface Flotilla, 4,300 Submarine Flotilla, 5,440 Fleet Air Arm, 6,600 Royal Marine Commandos Figures correct as of Feb 2009.

The first 9 weeks are spent in phase one training at HMS Raleigh. This is where civilians are turned into sailors. Following that one goes on trade training. For stewards this would be around two months whereas for Air Engineers this would be a further 13-14 months.

The typical Navy Admiral will have 30 years of service. That would entitle him to 75% of his base pay in retirement. That would be somewhere anywhere from $7500 to $12000 a month.

No-one, including the Royal Navy itself, is quite sure of the origins of this nickname, but one of the following (or maybe all three!) are possible explanations:

1.) Early C19th Royal Navy slang term for a warship - "an Andrew" (but no-one knows why!)...

OR...

2.) "Andrew Miller" - allegedly a particularly "effective" commander of a Press Gang, who "recruited" thousands of sailors into the early C19th Royal Navy... but no records have been found of an Impressment Service officer of this name!

OR...

3.) "Andrew Walker" - supposedly owner of a company that sold massive quantities of general stores, equipment etc to the C19th Royal Navy. But, again, there are no specific records of this - and one would expect there to be if this was, in fact, the case!

So, all a bit of a mystery really. Most likely, "Andrew Miller" and "Andrew Walker" were eponymous, almost mythological, figures who became symbolic entities in the popular culture of the C19th Royal Navy representing in the minds of sailors all those "higher ups" who controlled their lives.

There are many different reasons why people would want to join the Royal Navy, many people feel a sense of duty towards their country, others take pride in the work involved, which contrary to popular belief, involves a lot of helping people. One of the main reasons that people give for joining is the amount of traveling that can be done at no cost to them, seeing large parts of the world is possible for young people at an early age in a way that would be impossible in most jobs.

The reason for choosing to be an officer varies from person to person too, with a combination of things like better pay, better job prospects after leaving the navy and having more authority while in the navy. Some people just feel better suited to this role.

The required standard of colour vision for service as a mine clearance diver in the Royal Navy is designated as being CP3, which requires a pass of the Ishihara test or the subsequent lantern test. Failing both of these results in a wires test, in which a pass would designate CP4 colour vision, failing the wires test leaves the candidate with CP5 colour vision, designated unfit for service.
