SOUTH AFRICAN NAVAL NOMENCLATURE FOR NAVY and SHIPS
by Vice Admiral Alan Grose, RN (Rtd), now living in Simons
Town
I have checked my facts regarding the nomenclature of the South African Ships
with a number of books on the South African Navy, especially "South Africa's
Navy - The First Fifty Years" by Commodore J C Goosen SM published in 1973.
Goosen had served in the South African Navy during the Second World War and so I
think he would have got his facts right about the titles of ships and
establishments at that time. The following certainly ties in with what is in my
father-in-laws old photographs and records.
The background to the titles given to the Service, rather than the ships, is
quite complicated. The South African Navy essentially began in October 1921 by
Governmental decree as "the South African Naval Service (SANS) with locally
recruited personnel enrolled in the RNVR (South African Division) but placed on
whole-time service with the SANS", which was officially promulgated in the
Government Gazette in January 1923.
This title and arrangement continued until January 1940 when the Seaward
Defence Force (SDF) was formed which effectively took over the responsibilities
of the former SANS which essentially became moribund but not actually disbanded.
The situation was further resolved in 1942 when the the South African Naval
Force (SANF) was formally constituted and all members of the old RNVR
(South African Division) transferred into the SANF. The title South African
Naval Force remained until 1 January 1951 when it was changed to the South
African Navy (SAN).
Throughout this time all ships of the SDF, SANF and SAN were designated His
Majesty's Ship..., and the title HMSAS.... used. It was not until a
Government Gazette dated 20 June 1952 changed the prefix of South African ships
from HMSAS to SAS. From the same date the cap tallies worn by SAN sailors were
changed from HMSAS followed by the name of the ship or establishment to plain
SAS.
I hope it clarifies the situation regarding the ship prefix - they were
definitely called HMSAS, much the same as HMAS for Australian ships and HMCS for
Canada.

The role of the South African Naval Force in
World War 2 is overshadowed by that of the Royal Navy. It is hoped that
this page will, in some small way, help to redress the balance.
Also that it will honour those South
Africans who died serving with the Royal Navy and as crew members of RN ships
including HMS Gloucester, Barham, Neptune, Cornwall, Dorsetshire, Hermes.
