	South African Navy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The South African Navy (SAN), is the navy of South Africa.
		The Seaward Defence Force and the South African RNVR were amalgamated on 1 August 1942 to form the South African Naval Forces (SANF).
		When South Africa became a republic on May 31st 1961, the title of HMSAS (Her Majesty's South African Ship) was changed to SAS (South African Ship), and the Crown in the SAN badge was replaced with a lion, the crest from the country's coat of arms.

	South African National Defence Force - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The South African National Defence Force (SANDF) is the name of the armed forces of South Africa.
		Recent peacekeeping actions on the behalf of the South African military include an invasion of Lesotho in order to restore the democratically-elected government after a coup, as well as extensive contributions to the United Nations peacekeeping operations in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Burundi.
		South Africa at one time possessed weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear weapons, but its stockpile was dismantled during the early 1990s.

	South African Navy (SAN)
		The navy is commanded by a vice admiral, the chief of the navy.
		The chief of the navy is assisted by a chief of naval operations and a chief of naval support; the latter two positions are filled by rear admirals.
		South Africa's navy is also in demand by other African governments; in the early 1990s, for example, South African personnel performed naval facility repairs for Zaire, marine surveys for Mozambique, and relief-supply transport to Kenya for shipment to Somalia and Rwanda.

		Hence a new South African naval ensign was approved by the Chief of the South African National Defence Force on 29 September 1994.
		Although the Chief of the Navy stated that this flag was never used, it is referred to in an article by Capt. MF Stern on the flags of South Africa published in the spring 1963 issue of The Flag Bulletin that the Minister of Defence did indeed fly this ensign in late 1951.
		There is a South African Naval Colour that consists of the naval ensign charged with the crest from the coat of arms in the lower quarter.

		The new South African Naval Ensign is the same as that used previously except the new SA national flag is in the canton and the badge of the Navy no longer appears in the fly.
		Several of the rank flags of the South African Navy are almost identical to the rank flags of the Portuguese navy in a time when Portugal and South Africa shared long maritime borders before the independence of Angola and Mozambique and of later of Namibia.
		The green of the rank flags in the SA Navy was adopted as the result of the adoption of the green cross on the naval ensign.

	The South African National Defence Force - SANDF
		The South African National Defence Force (SANDF) is facing a challenging year in 2003 in which it will not only receive the first corvette of its multi billion dollar arms acquisition programme, but also the beginning of a down-scaling programme to get rid of some 20,000 ageing soldiers, reports Erika Gibson.
		According to the Navy its biggest challenge remains the timeous provision of adequate numbers of suitable personnel with the appropriate entry requirements from the fleet to the corvette project to receive training for the manning of the vessels and the Navy support structures.
		Whilst awaiting the activation the South African project team and the main contractor, BAE SAAB, have been actively involved in creating the design baseline for the export variant of the Gripen.

	South African Navy Ships.
		In June of 2002, the names for the 4 Valour class frigates under construction for the South African Navy were released.
		These 4 new vessels were to form the backbone of the new upgraded South African Navy which has benefitted considerably from the huge defence budget allocated for new weaponry designed to bring the SANDF into a new world of high tech weaponry.
		A SA Navy crew was being trained in the operation of the vessel, and the delay from the original handover date of December 28 was reportedly "minimal, we are not talking about months".

	The Changing Role of the South African Navy - South African Defence Review No 10, 1993
		The perception that the Navy is in a state of decline and about to become irrelevant, with whatever good intentions it is voiced, is bad for the image of the Navy and for the morale of its members.
		The Navy, with the forces at its disposal and with the assistance of the Air Force, has the ability to play an important peacetime role in support of the seaward functions of other state departments, notably the Department of Foreign Affairs, the Department of Environmental Affairs, the Department of Transport and the Department of Justice.
		South Africa's maritime interests are extensive and revolve mainly around the vital role trade plays in the open South African economy.

	A Response to Simpson-Anderson , Restructuring the Armed Forces - South African Defence Review No 10, 1993
		The demise of the Cold War, a perceptible shift in regional Southern African relations, and the progress of the present transition are all impacting upon the South African military debate in a profound and specific manner.
		Whilst this redefinition of the South African Navy's role is understandable in light of the changing international, regional and domestic threat scenario, it appears that the Navy's primary mission (surely the rationale for its existence) has been sacrificed at the altar of generality.
		The navies of South America, although mostly larger than the present South African Navy, have neither the capacity nor predisposition to launch a maritime assault against Southern African shores.
