Page 2 - NSW Governor joins Navy
NSW Governor joins Navy
Her Excellency Professor Marie Bashir appointed
the RAN's first Honorary Commodore at Watson
By Michael Brooke
A NEW. chapter in the Navy's proud
history- was written at HMAS Watson
(CAPT Ray Leggatt) recently when
the RAN appointed its first honorary
Commodore.
In a gesture that recognises the strong
historical links between the Navy and the
"Office of the New South Wales Governor,
Professor Marie Bashir was appointed
as the first Honorary Commodore in
the RAN by the Acting Chief of Navy,
RADM Davyd Thomas, during a ceremo
ny at the Wardroom on October 9.
"It was a great honour that I was
able to appoint Her Excellency as a
Commodore in the RAN," he said.
. "Sailors found, settled and protect
Australia and this appointment further
strengthens the ties between the Navy
and the Office of the NSW Governor; it
highlights the historical link between the
Navy and that office." . "
RADM Thomas said it was the first
time in the history of the RAN that some
one had joined the Navy and been pro
moted to Commodore, on the same day.
Professor Bashir said she was hon
oured to be appointed an Honorary
Commodore and that she had close fam
ily links to the Navy with two cousins
serving on HMA Ships Warramunga and
, Shropshire in World War II.
She said she also vividly, recalls
attending HMAS Sydney 's victory parade
at Martin Place in February 1941, and.
grieved with the nation when the 'pride
of the Navy' was lost with all hands on
November 19, 1941.
One of Professor Bashir's roles and
responsibilities as Honorary Commodore
will be to support official Navy ceremo
nies and functions of. national signifi-
. cance.
CAPT Leggat told Navy News that .
it was a privilege to host the appoint
ment of Professor Bashir as Honorary
Commodore, especially considering the
close links that would now be developed
between Watson, as the home of warfare
training, and the Governor - whose posi
tion is .'Navy Warfare Training'.
Following the ceremony Professor
Bashir was given a VIP tour of Watson's
training: facilities, which included a visit
to the FFG and Bridge Simulators - both
of. which are used to train junior warfare
officers. " >
. Professor Bashir already . holds
.the ranks of Honorary Colonel, Royal
New South Wales Regiment, Australian
Army, and Honorary Air Commodore, 22
Squadron, Royal Australian Air Force.
' The Office of the Governor of NSW has always had' ''
strong ties to the Navy with the first four Governors
. - CAPT Arthur' Phillip, CAPT John Hunter, CAPT Philip
King and CAPT William Bligh - all serving as officers
in the. Royal Navy, In more recent times,. RADM Sir
David Martin and RADM Peter Sinclair, have served as
NSW Governors, ' ." " ." . '
