Introducing our SNO Vic and CO HMAS CERBERUS
We are delighted to introduce Captain Mark Davenport Hill to members of the Society.
Captain Hill joined the RANR in 1979, before transferring to the RAN. A Seaman Officer, he has commanded the Auxiliary Minesweeper BROLGA and HMA Ships Brunei, Rushcutter and Gascoyne.
Being a Diver he is a bit of an action man! Amongst other appointments he has been Deputy Commander of the Australian Mine Warfare and Clearance Diving Force. He served operationally as Operations Officer to the Naval Component Commander in Headquarters INTERFET during Operation Warden in East Timor.
He was promoted to his current rank in 2007 whereupon he assumed the appointment of Director, Navy Personnel Policy.
Captain Hill has represented South Australia in rowing and sailing and resides in Cerberus House with his wife Sophia, son Christopher and brown dog called Bruno.
Come and meet Captain Hill on August 23rd.
