Comments:Hi Paul
Two years ago three of us Tim McSweeney,Basil Switzer,and myself carried out a inventory of exhibits for the Naval Service in both the Martello tower and block 4( now burned to the ground).
In the martello tower we found three bells one had no name on it but the other two are from L.E.Maev and L.E.Muirchu
There were a couple of Bells in block 4 When I find the list of exhibits I will let you know the ships names' but as you know every thing there went up in smoke.
John. Glad to here the Grainne's Bell is in Cathal Brugha
The Navy are giving some stuff from the Martello Tower in Haulbowline to Collins Bks in Dublin I was there a few weeks ago and they are setting up a small section for the Naval Service.

Comments:Thanks Terry and Paul
Your are right Paul about the Plaques on the Ships but as you know yourself after a period of time they become grubby and neglected and eventualy the ships are scrapped and the plaques would eventualy end up on e-bay.
In the N.C.O.Mess all formar W.O.s have their names on a board in the hall way'perhaps a board in the Naval School
with all the names on it would be a good idea ' after all nearly all our D.S.Ms passed through there and young recruits will get to know their
names and can have something to aspire to. Im sure funding for this project would be forthcoming from the Naval Asocation/Naval Branch O.N.E.T/Cobh Branch O.N.E.T.

Comments:Interesting concept about the certificate.

i think in some cases the DSMs that have been award should have been noted on the bridge wing of the ships involved as per the USN as given the heroic acts were those of the individuals the whole ships crew would have a contributory part to the award but have gone for the most part unrecognised.

I don't begrudge any of the individuals the awards but know there were acts that went unrecorded and unrecognised even though they may have been related to the events that merited award. The NA in Dublin did pay nice tribute to L/Sea Mick Quinn..even though he was from louth... but he'd forgive them. even plaques on the bridge on the vessels to recognise that the ward was granted when the receipient was a member of the ships crew would be nice.

It was after all a team effort in most cases and the crews deserve some recognition.

Would it not be a good idea to get all the D.S.Ms to Haulbowline some time in the future, and honour them, perhaps with a Certificate or some thing like that from all Ex Naval and EX Naval Reserve's.
Just to show them we still respect and remember what they did during their service.
I hope I am not out of order by posting this here.

John was a cook in the Naval Service for a number of years
before transfering to the Army, he served in Clonmel.
He was a member of the O.N.E.
In the early Seventies he was a member of a band called the
Navy Lark with another chap called Buster Luscrom they played all the pubs in Cobh.
He was a great singer and was always up for a song.
May he have a calm last patrol.
God Rest Him.

Comments:Hi Charlie, Thanks for your telephone call regarding the Betelgeuse, thought I might add a little so those reading will be reminded what happened..

On 8 January 1979, the oil tanker the Betelgeuse was unloading her cargo, composed of 74,000 tonnes of Arabian heavy crude oil and 40,000 tonnes of Arabian light crude oil, at the Gulf Oil Terminal on Whiddy Island in Bantry Bay. The 40,000 tonnes of light were still onboard when the vessel exploded.

The Betelgeuse was split in two in the explosion. Both parts sank and the 40,000 tonnes of Arabian light crude oil were spilled. The explosion also set the vessel on fire. The jetty and the terminal were seriously damaged, but the 18 storage tanks on Whiddy Island were luckily unaffected.

The 42 crew members of the Betelgeuse and 7 workers from the oil terminal died in the explosion.

Thirty years on, I am anxious to find out how this event will be remembered, and would appreciate any information about any upcoming events to mark this sad day.

Comments:It has been a sad week for the Navy with the death of well know former and serving members. It brings even more saddness when a young man passes away from cancer at a very young age and with a bright future ahead of him Naturally I refer to P/O ERA Fergus Phelan who died of cancer last Sunday 8th and buried after a ceremony in Cobh Cathedral.

The week previous Lt Dan McCarthy (NS) Retd.passed away
and we learn also on Sunday 8th Feb. P/O Mick Coffee had also passed away from complications following heart surgery 3 days earlier. With the funerals of Mick Coffee in Templemore and the funeral of young LS Phelan in Cobh
The Naval Service were there in force to do just honours to their former colleagues.

At the funeral in Tullamore for Mick Coffee it was well attended by members of the Naval Association and the Commander George Branch of ONET. A very fine lineup of Senior NCO's from the base provided the Honour Guard and acted as Pall Bearers during the funeral ceremony. A large gathering attended the funeral Mass particularly from a wide audience Mick had for his Saturday and Sunday morning radio programme's "Coffee for Breakfast" on Radio TIP FM.

It is nice to see that Former members of the Naval Service and Naval Service Reserve will always be remembered long after they have left the service.

The George Crosbie Branch of the ONET in Cork and the Naval Association (Dublin, Waterford and Limerick) will
always welcome new memebers irrespective of your availability to attend the respective meeting points.

We were offered a lot of drinks and I always opted for bulmers cider because it tasted like cidona while everyone else was on the pints of guinness and bulmers was not very popular then unlike today.I think it was cook Paddy Mckeown .

The others who sat the interview are very fine officers in their own ritght each with his on special achievements. Comiserations to those people who would each have made their own mark on the job had they been successful.

My best wishes to them for the remainder of their careers and at least they can serve out the rest of their days Knowing that they were in the running for the job, a fine acheivemnet in itself.

A message of congratulations was sent last week to Commander Mellett from the Naval Association. It was our intention to write a profile of Cmdr Mellett. However, while Cmdr. Mellett is obviously delighted at his upcoming promotion he is also fully aware of the disappointment felt by his fellow Officers who sat the interview, and has therefore requested that we play down his pending promotion.

Dear Terry

Cathie and I would like to say ‘thank you’ for, firstly, inviting us to join the Naval Association cruise and then for all the hard work you and Margaret put in on our behalf in the organisation of such a wonderful holiday. The invitation, last September could not have come at a more opportune time. Cathie had just had major surgery and was awaiting the results of tests etcetera when the invitation came.

Following the plans on the website and making our own preparations helped to distract us from the overwhelming worry.

It was great to meet old friends and meet new ones. Cathie was so happy to be made so welcome. She is normally a retiring sort of person but was put at her ease straight away.

We both had a wonderful time and look forward to meeting you again.

Every good wish for you and continuing success to the Association.


Cathie and Frank Doyle



PS. Please make my address and email; frank.doyle@btinternet.com

Henry.
