	Biography - Captain John Paul Jones
		Having taken up residence in Virginia, he volunteered early in the War of Independence to serve in his adopted country's infant navy and raised with his own hands the Continental ensign on board the flagship of the Navy's first fleet.
		Jones replied, "I have not yet begun to fight!" In the end, it was the British commander who surrendered.
		Jones is remembered for his indomitable will, his unwillingness to consider surrender when the slightest hope of victory still burned.

		This establishment of the Australian Station was indeed a landmark in the devolopment of Defence in Australia, and marked a new coming of age in that regard.
		Britain renewed the Anglo/Japanese Treaty of 1901, leaving Japan free to walk the beat of her interests in the Pacific, and by 1907, Japan was identified as a clear threat to both Australia’s interests and security.

		Their speed, their armour, their armament, are all great assets; even their appearance has a sobering effect." At the end of 1912, in fact, the Royal Navy romantically reassigned battle cruisers to an elite seaborne cavalry: the Battle Cruiser Squadron.
		The first mission on which Invincible, Inflexible and Indomitable were sent was to revenge the latter indignity; at the Battle of the Falkland Islands, commanded by Admiral Doveton Sturdee, they enjoyed the advantage of range and power, and obliterated their opponents.

		Soon after eight destroyers were sighted in a northerly direction and a light cruiser with another eight destroyers in an easterly direction, which were in a position to cut off the retreat of our cruisers.

		HMS Dreadnought represented a true terror weapon of the day whose speed, armament, and firepower obsoleted every other battleship then in existence.
		Rather than give Britain's large navy an even bigger advantage over Germany's small coastal fleet, it put them on an almost equal footing overnight, really only one battleship ahead.

		At this time the author was in command of HMS DRYAD, the Royal Navy's shore establishment which housed the Supreme Allied Headquarters.

		Later in 1907 these same men completed the longest unsupported man-haul of sledges in Antarctic exploration, following a similar trail to the one Scott took on his 600-mile trip, up the glacier onto the Victoria Land plateau.
		His unflinching courage, his constant watchfulness over his men, his indomitable will—all hallmarks of leadership of the highest order—were praised by brave men who traveled with him.
