The SA Navy (SAN) maintains the COVID-19 pandemic has had âminimalâ impact on naval operations and personnel with the fleet âable to deploy as taskedâ.
At the same time the maritime service of the SA National Defence Force (SANDF) said, in response to a defenceWeb enquiry, personnel numbers were reduced in infected areas. âSections not affected continue as normal,â according to a statement which gave no further detail.
âNoâ was the response to questions as to whether the pandemic has affected maritime operations and the possibility of providing the number of SAN personnel off-duty in Simonâs Town as a result of coronavirus infection.

The SA Navy (SAN), like its sister service the SA Air Force (SAAF), has a Sword of Peace award for the naval unit which provides the most meritorious aid in the humanitarian field, typically disaster relief or search and rescue operations.
SA Naval Museum Commander, Commander Leon Steyn notes “the award is not necessarily presented each year, only in cases that truly merit the award in recognition of a unit’s achievement”.
Presented to the maritime service of the SA National Defence Force (SANDF) by the Wilkinson Sword Company in 1976, it was first awarded the following year to SAS Flamingo.
