I joined the Sri Lanka Navy in 1980 as an eighteen years old youth. Our navy was a ceremonial navy when I joined in 1980. Our biggest worry was to catch smugglers who smuggle goods across Palk Bay by boats. Everything started changing after 1983. Liberation Tigers of Tamil Elam (LTTE) slowly became a ruthless terrorist group and started fighting against Sri Lankan Military.
Our training, tactics, weapons, equipment, ships/craft and doctrines were changed. Our fleet was expanded with one single aim. That is to fight and destroy LTTE Sea Tigers. We had few successes against terrorists, but more setbacks.
We started thinking “out of the box”. New units were raised; new fighting tactics were introduced. “Asymmetric Warfare” became catchphrase. Our local and foreign intelligence capabilities improved. We started targeting LTTE’s International Shipping network. We had fine Military and Political leadership continuously, who gave what we required to fight effectively. In May 2009 we became victorious. Our military was considered as highly disciplined and highly competent force by World major powers and friendly foreign countries. We always served for the democratically elected government and not got involved in party politics. We are proud of it.
Our Country is safe now. Famous travel Guide “Lonely Planet” named Sri Lanka as the best destination to visit in 2019. Today, you can travel length and breadth of the Island without any fear of your security. To achieve this status, lots of people, both Civilian and Military paid huge sacrifices, some were killed, and others were badly wounded. Some are still missing. We cannot forget them.
As a senior officer in Sri Lankan Military, I tried to imitate two great military leaders in my military life. First one is, Field Marshal Erwin Rommel of German Army popularly known as Desert Fox. He had a dream that Nazi Germany would win World War II and he is going to write a book on Tank tactics. He kept records of all his Panzer movements of 1940 invasion of France and Northern African Campaign. Among his British adversaries, he earned a strong reputation for Chivalry. Field Marshal Rommel committed suicide using a cyanide pill on orders of Hitler who suspected him in attempt to assassinate Hitler (Operation Valkyrie). His dream was fulfilled after his death and end of World War by British Military Historian Captain B H Liddell Hart who edited Field Marshal Rommel’s notes and produced “Rommel Papers” ; hand book for Mobile Armored Warfare. Field Marshal Rommel wrote a letter to his wife every day from battle field. The other great naval leader I followed was Admiral Elmo “Bud” Zumwalt, Jr, the youngest person to serve as Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) of US Navy. Admiral Zumwalt played a major role in Vietnam War with his brown water navy where he commanded the Flotilla of Swift boats patrolling rivers. Both his son Lieutenant Russell Zumwalt III and Lieutenant John Kerry (later US Secretary of State) served under him. As CNO, he wrote Z-grams, semiofficial policy directives issued by him. He was a great Admiral who transformed US Navy with many of these Z-grams to reform out dated policies after Vietnam War. Following his footsteps, I wrote W-Memos (fifty of them) to my navy when I was the Commander. Now, they were compiled as a book (ISBN 978-955-9339-11-3).What you are going to read is a compilation of essays which I have written during last two years. It contains my personal experience and true stories. I purposely kept my writing in simple spoken English to keep it genuine and easy to read. I am trying to inspire you in your life in my last essay by saying whatever happen, you should not lose your focus on your life. Believe in God and Karma.I thank my staff of Officers and sailors who helped me in this endeavor in compiling these essays into a book.Please enjoy reading. Do not forget to read between lines....what I mean.. between lines.
