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.
