Royal Navy

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.

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.

For one their entire country is an island, and before the invention of the airplane ships were the primary source of transportation. Second the English were built around an imperial goverment, meaning they wanted to colonize as many countries/undeveloped land as possible. Once again making great demands for a large naval fleet. This in turn would lead to many areas of the globe under English control, and controling land means you also have the responisblity of defending it. Without a superior naval fleet the English couldn't have maintained control over the colonys or oceanic trade routes they acquired because other nations (such as Spain) could have just beaten out the English fleet and taken them over.

One of the most important reasons that Parliament won is the royal navy. Parliament had control of the royal navy, who guarded the isle of Britain, so that the king couldn�t get any supplies from the rest of Europe across the sea, or even from Ireland. He also couldn�t recruit any troops from across the sea. This was a huge advantage to Parliament.
