| Summary/Abstract |
In the third of his articles on the finances of defence, the author examines the controversial subject of defence inflation, and the apparently increased cost of replacing equipment with a new generation. In analysing the figures more deeply than is customary against a rather broader context he arrives at some surprising and even perhaps encouraging conclusions.

| Summary/Abstract |
There have been many figures, real and literary, who have maintained that there is no such thing as a coincidence. When, therefore, the last edition of NR did not arrive and the same was true for my work colleague, it seemed likely that there was a common explanation.

| Summary/Abstract |
Fost funnies are only funny to fost staff, which is why they do them. Originally they were to more than a bit of innocent merriment at the customer's expense, but both funnies and staff, mercifully, have matured a bit over the year. The ID card at the brow with Guy the Gorilla on it, or the Sheikh of Araby on the jetty with an embarrassed haremgirl, demanding hospitality in the middle of Distex, are new old hat.

| Summary/Abstract |
All too frequently military interlocutors outside the European Union - EU get frustrated that we don't act or feel like NATO. What follows attempt to address that frustration and suggest that the unique complexities of the EU are both desirable and increasingly proving to be an advantage in some circumstance. The other highlights how the EU integrates military effects into its external action and shows why the EU does not duplicate NATO, why it has a different philosophy of working ; why (at times) it has entirely different roles; and why such difference may eventually be seen as more complementary, and not in competition, with the efforts of other defence dominated organisations such as NATO.

| Summary/Abstract |
A junior officer asks whether current leadership and management practices are stifling tradition, innovation, immigrations and courage. He argues with the proper passion of youth and love of the service that we may be losing something critical to a fighting navy.

| Summary/Abstract |
A Las my start in HMS Bermuda could have been disastrous. In clearing out the officers files of the previous commission, I had piled these up in the kneehole of my desk, awaiting a chance for them to be destroyed. Now we had in the Captain's office a young sailor - we will call him Snodgrass - who was the messenger.

| Summary/Abstract |
The author discusses the recent intent to reinvigorate the naval case through on understanding of why (ends) rather than what and how (Ways and Means) we do what we do. He argues that this is actually a matter of education first, from which the RN can build position of strength.

| Summary/Abstract |
The T class submarine HMS Triumph was lost somewhere in the Aegean Sea in January 1942. No one know her position. Two years ago I thought I had narrowed her resting place down to somewhere on a narrow, 27 mile long track, running northwest from Cape Sounio in Greece.

| Summary/Abstract |
A century ago, in August 1913, the Commander in Chief, China Station was Vice Admiral Martyn Jerram. From England via the Atlantic, North America and the Pacific he had arrived at Hong Kong from Vancouver on 14 March 1913 in the CPR steamer empress of India (5,943 grt). There, on 29 March 1913, he assumed command of the station in succession to Admiral Sir Alfred Winsloe who on that day sailed for England in the P and O SS India (7,911 grt.).As befits the era, the wade-Giles from Romanisation is used where relevant.

| Summary/Abstract |
In the 7th issue of the Arno Newsletter there is an interesting article by Commander Martin Mackey, title as above. With reference to the future, he stresses the importance of developing systems that will allow us to do our job better, faster and safer by reducing the risk to men and material or more commonly, by removing "the man from the minefield". This left me wondering whether current MCM personnel are aware of the trails carried out, between 1968 and 1976, on the potential use of amphibious hovercraft in the MCM role.
