MEMBERSHIP

Any person with an interest in maritime affairs, or who wishes to acquire an interest in, or knowledge of, maritime affairs and who wishes to support the objectives of the League, is invited to join.

OBJECTIVES

The principal objective of the Navy League of Australia is “The maintenance of the maritime well-being of the Nation” by:
  • Keeping before the Australian people the fact that we are a maritime nation and that a strong Navy and a sound maritime industry are indispensable elements of our national well-being and vital to the freedom of Australia.
  • Promoting defence self reliance by actively supporting manufacturing, shipping and transport industries.
  • Promoting, sponsoring and encouraging the interest of Australian youth in the sea and sea-services, and supporting practical sea-training measures.
  • Co-operating with other Navy Leagues and sponsoring the exchange of cadets for training purposes.

ACTIVITIES

The Navy League of Australia works towards its objectives in a number of ways:
  • By including in its membership leading representatives of the many elements which form the maritime community.
  • Through soundly-based contributions by members to journals and newspapers, and other media comment.
  • By supporting the Australian Navy Cadets, and assisting in the provision of training facilities.
  • By publishing The Navy, a quarterly journal reporting on local and overseas maritime happenings, past, present and projected.
  • By maintaining contact with serving naval personnel through activities arranged during visits to Australian ports of ships of the Royal Australian and Allied Navies.
  • By organising symposia, ship visits and various other functions of maritime interest throughout the year.
Member participation is encouraged in all these activities.
