	Beira Patrol - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		The Beira Patrol was a blockade of oil shipments to Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) through Beira, Mozambique, resulting from United Nations trade sanctions after Rhodesia declared its independence.
		The patrol lasted from 1966 to 1975, during which various Royal Navy ships cruised the Mozambique Channel checking on oil tankers going to Beira, which was the terminus of a pipeline running inland to Rhodesia.

		By the spring of 1975, the patrol was to be a shadow of the carrier, frigate, and Shackleton force of 1966.
		Yet the British government was convinced throughout that the patrol was useful as a symbol of the nation’s commitment to sanctions against the separatist Rhodesian regime of Ian Smith—a commitment London was obliged to sustain by the legal box in which it had put itself in the UN.
		The patrol allowed London to limit the escalation of a potentially volatile situation while providing a credible demonstration of its commitment to sanction enforcement, which was the course Whitehall wanted to pursue.

	The Beira patrol: Britain's broken blockade against Rhodesia - Military Photos
		On 8 March, in light of evidence it had received of construction in progress of six oil tanks in Beira, the committee concluded that oil had (as the Rhodesian commerce minister had already asserted) become emblematic--if oil reached Beira, sanctions of all kinds would appear to be failing.
		The warships, operating twenty to forty miles off Beira, were to intercept suspect tankers that had been detected by shore-based maritime patrol aircraft, upon which they would rely, once the involvement of carriers ended, for surveillance, alerting, and vectoring.
		From the Navy's point of view the patrol reduces ship availability and it is not a task from which we derive any great training value." (66) The ministry argued that maintaining the patrol, particularly after 1971, would "greatly reduce" the nation's ability to respond to contingencies outside of Europe.

	Beira
		Our Skipper, Captain (now Sir John) Roxburgh, finally sent a signal expressing his frustration to ‘Their Lordships’, noting his concern at the "ire and despondency" amongst his crew, as a result of not being able to reveal our whereabouts and mission, and he was subsequently able to tell us the truth.
		We learnt later that her skipper was a German, commissioned by a European consortium to break the blockade and humiliate the UK Government.
		The Beira Patrol, as it became known, had suddenly become a showcase for in-flight refuelling and 800B responded to a man by working seven days a week, around the clock, for 71 consecutive days.

		A group from HMS Diamond also met up to recall the challenge of the Beira Bucket, a sporting trophy for ships on Beira patrol which they could hang from the yard-arm.
		The Beira patrol prevented oil from getting to what was then Rhodesia, on the East coast of Africa.
		To carry on the tradition of the Beira Bucket, a smaller version was created which is presented each year to a different member of the HMS Diamond Association in memory of their time on the destroyer, and to keep the memory alive of former colleagues who have died.

		She was heading South for Durban and perhaps fuelling at sea on a Sunday seems strange but it was worth it because she was off to pick up our mail from home.
		On the morning of Monday the 19th we met HMS Cleopatra and took over the patrol from her as she steamed past us on her way South and home it was quite clear that they were delighted to be going, "31 days to "Guzz" and other less printable slogans were on display.
		The day at anchor did give the fishermen onboard a chance to try their luck but I am afraid to say that on the whole they were unsuccessful.
