This article looks at the organisation of the South African Navy.

The move to Pretoria

In 1977 the Naval Headquarters, previously based in Simon's Town, the site of the Naval base, was moved to Pretoria to bring the Headquarters closer to the rest of the Defence Force. The Headquarters had been based in Simon's Town since 1957, when the Naval Base was handed over to South Africa in terms of the Simonstown Agreement.[2]

The purpose of the Naval Headquarters Unit was there "to support the Chief of the Navy and his five Chiefs of Naval Staff and their Staff Officers in matters pertaining to personnel, administration, operations, logistics, intelligence and finance as well as most naval matters related to the inland area".[3]

Following the move to Pretoria, the Navy was organised into three functional Commands[4] (Operations, Logistics and Training) along with two Area Commands in 1980[5], Naval Command Cape (COMNAVCAPE) and Naval Command Natal (COMNAVNAT), with South West Africa (COMNAVWB) being added later.[6] COMNAVNAT was later renamed COMNAVEAST.

Naval Operations Command (commanded by Commodore Bill Hogg) was headquartered at the Silvermine maritime communications and surveillance centre. Control and communication went out to COMNAVCAPE, COMNAVNAT or COMNAVWB.[7]

Naval Logistics Command controlled the dockyards at Simonstown and Durban. Training Command was responsible for the training flotilla, four training bases and the Naval Staff College. The structure, with the 5 Chiefs of Naval Staff, looked like this:

 
The structure in the early 80's

Re-organisation

In 1986, after a three year study into the structure of the Navy, a new structure was unveiled.[5]: 37  The Navy structure was simplified with two all operational functions split between two functional commands, Naval Command East and Naval Command West, which were established on 28 February 1986.[8]

 

1990

edit

After the disestablishment of the NAVCOM structure, the South African Navy went through a restructuring process that saw the establishment of a 2 tier command and control structure, consisting of Naval Headquarters in Pretoria and a single Naval Base and all units, flotillas and independent ships.[9]

The line functions were split into 2 legs - Naval Operations and Naval Support

 
The structure as redesigned in 1990

Chief of Naval Operations

The Chief of Naval Operations commanded the following units:

  • SAS Scorpion and the Strike Craft flotilla
  • Naval Station Durban
  • SAS Jalsena
  • SAS Hugo Biermann and the submarine flotilla
  • SAS Chapman and the MCM flotilla
  • SAS Tafelberg
  • SAS Protea
  • SAS Drakensberg
  • SAS Simonsberg

CDMS

edit

leads the strategic direction process of the SA Navy which ultimately culminates in the supply of supported maritime warfare capabilities, meeting the needs of the Maritime Defence Programme, for employment, through Chief of the Navy, to the Chief of the South African National Defence Force. He also takes responsibility for naval policy and doctrine as well as the coordination of collaborative efforts in creating a common maritime defence for the SADC.[10]

Coastal Command

edit

In pursuance of the Simon's Town agree- ment, the Royal Navy Dockyards and other facilities in Simon's Town were signed over to the Union of South Africa on 1 April 1957. The SA Navy took possession of the Dockyards at a ceremony in the East Dockyard on 2 April 1957. Simon's Town now became the main base of the SA Navy while its former base on Salisbury Island, Durban closed. During the remainder of 1957 and early 1958 there was still a large contingent of Royal Navy personnel housed in Simon's Town. For a short while the SA Navy's Chief of Naval Staff (Chief of the Navy) and his staff co-existed with the Royal Naval Commander in Chief. The latter relocated to Youngsfield in 1958-59. While SA Naval Headquarters now functioned from Simon's Town, operational control was still exercised by Coastal Command (Navy) located at Youngsfield. In 1959 the operations function was transferred to the newly formed Directorate of Naval Operations and Planning of SA Naval Headquarters in Simon's Town. The Chief of Naval Staff and his senior staff occupied the present Naval Base Simon's Town headquarters building. It soon became clear that, in order to provide an efficient support infrastructure, an organisation removed from the higher level functions of Naval Headquarters was required. On 1 June 1960 the restructured Coastal Command (Navy) commissioned under the command of Capt J. C. C. Rice. The unit's function was the day-to-day administration of the naval infrastructure in Simon's Town. This included such tasks as messes and canteens, housing, security, military police, transport, sport, harbour services, etc[11]
