Resourcefulness
of sailors and the fact that the RAN routinely operates across
the length, breadth and depth of Australia’s interests mean
the Service is well placed to protect the country according
to the Chief of Navy.
“While each service in the Australian Defence Force is well
able to provide various capabilities to cover each of the Defence
environments, it is only the Navy which routinely operates across
the length, breadth and depth of our interests,” VADM Russ Shalders
told delegates at the opening of the 2005 King-Hall Naval History
Conference on July 21.
He was speaking to the theme of the biennial confrence: Sea
Power Ashore and in the Air.
