BRAZIL INDEPENDENCE DAY: On September 7, Brazil proudly celebrated Independence Day, a historic milestone dating back to 1822. This date not only symbolizes the country's political freedom, but also marks the beginning of an exciting journey towards industrial progress. Brazil's innate inclination towards industrial development soon manifested itself in the creation of a powerful naval industry.

🇵🇹 Portugal is a marine country in the southwest of Europe, and today we celebrate Camões, Portugal, and the Portuguese Communities. Camões was our greatest poet of all times, who lived during the 16th century, and left an epic poem called "Os Lusíadas", portraying the odyssey of Portuguese navigators around the world. 🌍 Portuguese communities around the world are also praised today, always remembering the cultural roots that link them back to their home land. Those communities are extremely important, bringing the name and history of Portugal to those who were unaware of it. 🗺 With an area in excess of 4 million Km², mostly composed of water, Portugal has large under water reserves of highly demanded minerals, not yet fully explored. If sustainably explored it can be an economic benefit, but its defense is currently a challenge for the Portuguese Navy, and what great Digital Twins can be made from this concept. #Portugal #Camoes #Communities #navigator #lusiadas #worldmap #minerals #sustainability #mine #economy #navy #discovery

Impressive stuff, and welcome enough for the good people at Mawson. But aside the huge cost (which the Australian Antarctic Division is surely not having to meet - so chalk this up as a further cost of the problems with RSV Nuyina), is this really helpful in the broader context of contemporary Antarctic geopolitics? Sure, it is technically consistent with paragraph 2 of Article 1 of the Antarctic Treaty - "The present Treaty shall not prevent the use of military personnel or equipment for scientific research or for any other peaceful purpose." But, as I observed in a wider consideration of various states' activities in the Yearbook of Polar Law in 2020 'Challenges to Substantive Demilitarisation in the Antarctic Treaty Area' there are boundary issues between legitimate and problematic military use in Antarctica: "in relation to the air operations itemised above, consider the likely framing and response in Australia and the wider Western Antarctic community if it had not been RAAF C-17s doing this but Chinese People’s Liberation Army Air Force Y-20s." https://lnkd.in/g8K_XZ5P

Ever wonder why shadowboxes are presented? History of Shadow Boxes According to some accounts of naval history and tradition, when a sailor retires and is departing the ship for the last time, it's considered bad luck for the sailor's shadow to touch land before he/she does. Thus, the sailor's shipmates would construct a sturdy box, hand-crafted of the finest materials, in which to display mementos of the sailor's accomplishments -- thereby symbolically creating a "shadow" of the sailor. The box safely contains the sailor's "shadow" until he/she is safely ashore, at which time the shadow box can be given to the sailor in a presentation ceremony. Historically, when a sailor would join a ship's crew, he would join that ship for his entire career. During the sailor's voyages to ports of call around the world, he would collect many trinkets, souvenirs, and reminders of his travels. Naturally, as space aboard ship was at a premium, these items tended to be small. When the sailor piped ashore for the last time, his shipmates saw to it that a special ceremonial box was constructed for him. The box would hold all the possessions that had been collected during those many voyages, a and would simultaneously symbolize the sailor's career and time aboard ship. Ideally, a shadow box serves not only as a reminder of achievements and accomplishments, but also as a summation, a culmination, of a career. A shadow box should enable a stranger glancing at its contents to gain a substantial understanding of the owner's past service and achievements.

Note that as it relates to China's maritime interests, there is significant overlap between commercial and military. Ports and terminals controlled by China allow calls by Chinese naval vessels and can act as defacto overseas naval bases. Not particularly surprising to see something like this emerge in the Western hemisphere as China's influence in Latin America increases. https://lnkd.in/ech3C6E9
