Thus, during
the Nuremberg War Criminals' Trials, General Jodd, one-time Chief of German
Army Operations, said that victory, almost within Germany's grasp, finally
eluded her because she had not the ships and organisation to launch an invasion
successfully. (L)--Landing

large and increasing communicational commitments, a Signals Directorate was
formed in Naval Headquarters in February 1944. In May 1945, all Landing
Craft Wing personnel were withdrawn from the Arakan and preparations were in
progress to form a squadron of major Landing Craft to be manned by the
Royal Indian
Navy. and R.I.N. Fleet Mails improved greatly
during the war. One of the ships built by
Australia during the war for the R.I.N. Owing to their limited
operational range and absence of targets for their torpedoes, it was decided by
the Admiralty that M.T.Bs were of no practical value in the South-East Asia
Command and therefore in July 1944 both flotillas were paid off and placed in
care and maintenance. With the considerable
technical improvement and, in many cases, with the complete rebuilding and
re-organisation of the Indian
Naval Wireless Stations from
1942 onwards, the Indian ports and Delhi formed, within two years, an
efficient integral part of the naval world-wide wireless organisation. The next day, Japanese surface forces sank five Allied merchant vessels while aircraft destroyed the sloop HMIS Hitting Trincomalee at 7:00 AM, the Japanese struck targets around the harbor and one aircraft conducted a suicide attack into a tank farm. Consequently, an
Empire-wide effort was made to effect (a) a speed-up in mail deliveries; (b) an increase in postal
concessions to the forces. With both flotillas operating at the same time, the Japanese
coastal defences were kept in a constant state of tension. Setting up a Naval Repair
Base in the jungle was not easy. Without such a service,
war, especially of world-wide magnitude, cannot be waged at all. The Royal Indian Navy Landing Craft Wing was first formed
in November 1942. As

H.M.I.S. In general, the crews of the
Landing Craft were composed of ex-army personnel and the technical and
administrative personnel were ex-general service. The Royal Indian Navy
operated a total of 26 Fairmile "B" type Motor Launches. 420 was attached to H.M.I.S. passed and the position at the outbreak of war in 1939. This was controlled by
Calcutta and was in use for operational traffic only. An operational broadcast
service to ships in the North Bay was commenced in 1944 to provide a new
improved link between shore authorities and convoy escorts in the North Bay
area. An Advanced Operational base was set up in the Naaf
river and a Coastal Force repair and depot ship, H.M.I.S.

Signalmen for the Landing
Craft Wing, the Beach Signal sections and Naval Bombardment troops were
trained in H.M.I.S. The formation of this wing was an excellent illustration of the manpower situation in 1943 when the needs of all three Services for men of intelligence and some --236-- education could no longer be rilled by direct recruitment. The landing craft wing was the youngest branch of
the naval service. With its sea and land transport, the base had
to be ready to strike camp and move forward at short notice. Midway
through the loading programme, the Japanese commenced their feelers for peace
terms and that naturally altered the aspect of the contemplated operation. The resulting fire lasted a week.
