When the DUH comes into ser·vice the initials HU will bechanged to HS (Helicopter AntiSubmarine) to renect the newrole which will be similar to thatcarried out by the 'lTacker. Thesquadron nwnber 816 previouslybelonged to the front line Trackersquadron.

The 816 Squadron has had a var­ied history. It first commissionedas a Royal Navy Air Squadronand during the pericx1 1939 to 1948new Seafire, WiJdcat, Barracudaand Fireny aircraft. In 1948 it re­commissioned as an RAN Fireflysquadron and with 805 Squadronsaw action in Korea from HMASSYDNEY. The squadron dis­banded in 1955 but refonned laterin. the year with Gannet Anti­SUbmarine aircraft andcommenced an association withHMAS MELBOURNE that wasto last many years. It was re­equipped in January, 1968, withGrumann S2 Trackers whichremained in service with VS816until 1982 when, roUowing thedecommissioning of HMAS MEL­BOURN E. the squadron wasdisbanded.

A new RAN heUcopter squadron - HU 816 - will ronnwithin the next two weeks.

Official formation date is Feb­ruary ,.

The new squadron will initiallyoperate Wessex aircraft. Thesewill be replaced by the DestroyerUtility Helicopter (DUH) when itcomes into service later in thedecade.

HU816 is to be fonned because723 Squadron, now the largestsquadron in the Fleet Air Artn. isabout to increase in si2e yet againwith the introduction into seIYiceof the AS350 Squirrel in mid 1984.

This gave rise to the possibilityof HCT.13 flying four aircraft types- the Wessex. Iroquois. Bell 2068and Squirrel - with widely diver­gent roles.

Chief of Naval Stan ViceAdmiral David Leach said thePhalanx trial firing was ofspecial significance becauseIt ushered in a new era of fullyautomatic computeriseddefence protection for shipsof the RAN against the cur­rent generation of anti-shipmissiles.

lie said although SYDNEYwas the only RAN ship tohave Phalanx installed it wasplanned to (it the system inHMAS DARWIN, now in thefinal stages of construction inSeatue, USA. It was planne<Ithat Phalanx be retrofitted toboth HMAS ADELAIDE andHMAS CANBERRA at thefirst available opportwtity.

Admiral Leach said thePhalanx was designed as aself.defence weapon againstanti-ship missiles, such asthose used against the RoyalNavy t.a.sk force in the Falk­lands campaign with suchdevastating effect.

In the trials by SYDNEYtwo Hring runs were con­ducted against the targettowed by a A4 Skyhawk.. Oneach run the Phalanx systemsuccessfully tracked, en­gaged, and shot parts of thetarget away.

Admiral Leach said oncompletion of further seatrials and work-up, SYDNEYwould retWll briefly to herUSA home port of Seattlebefore salling for Australia.She is scheduJed to anive inSydney on March 26.
