On 22 Feb the Australian Naval Institute held a most successful inaugural Canberra Naval Warfare Seminar at the Australian Defence College. It was very well attended by around 140 members of theANI, the United Services Institute, the Kokoda Foundation, the ACT Naval Officers Club and course members of the ADC. Rear Admiral Ray Griggs provided an update on current maritime operations including the contributions that RAN members are to ADF operations across the globe from Afghanistan to the Solomon Islands. addressed contemporary naval personnel matters including the size and shape of the Navy workforce and the challenges that this presents. Rear Admiral Rowan Moffitt discussed some of the broader issues regarding the RAN's future submarine project including the strategic operating environment and the unique challenges of our geography and the need to see a project of this scale in a broader national context.
The audience were actively engaged during Q&A and enjoyed some light refreshments in the ADC mess following the event. The format and duration of this seminar drew favourable comment, following the success of this event, Council plans to conduct a second seminar in Canberra later this year.
