This study examines the effects of reducing the time required to engage a target & of increasing the probability of hit of an armoured fighting vehicle in a defensive & offensive posture. The study used the Janus computer-based war game tool which simulates combat systems & the environment at a tactical level to show the effectiveness of the modelled vehicle (Leopard C2 tank) in relation to the time to engage a target and the probability of hit. The results also showed whether decreasing the time to engage a target had a greater impact than increasing the probability of hitting it. Based on the simulation results, recommendations are made regarding priorities for armoured vehicle technology development.

The SS "Trevessa" under Captain Cecil Foster was shipwrecked in the Indian Ocean on 4 June 1923 between Australia and Mauritius. She had taken on a cargo of zinc concentrates at Port Pirie. These 2 logs recount the fate of the 2 boatloads of survivors. Captain Foster's log, which is longer, covers the days from June 4 to June 26, when his boat sighted land (Rodriguez Island). Chief Officer Smith's log covers June 4 to June 15 and is briefly fleshed out by further notes written for Lloyd's, up to the time his boat reached land at Souillac, southern Mauritius. 33 men survived; the other 11 of the crew of 44 died.
