US Navy: Darwin port visits, 2000 – 2014

Richard Tanter

Updated: 1 April 2014

Note on data and sources:

The comprehensiveness and reliability of this dataset is uneven. For periods when the principal sources are answers to parliamentary questions on notice, there is a high likelihood information is both comprehensive and reliable. In other periods, data is less complete, and in some instances less reliable.

Periods not covered by parliamentary questions are January-December 2000, December 2006 – February 2007, and August 2008 to the present (highlighted). Care should be taken with interpretations of data presented in these periods.

In the periods for which parliamentary sources are available, comparison with data available from other sources for the same period indicates that currently available non-parliamentary sources report less than 25-50% of all USN ship visits according to parliamentary sources (see endnotes). In part this is due to the fact that non-parliamentary sources rarely report visits of non-combat ships, such as oilers, ammunition ships, combat stores ship, and hospital ships, even though these are essential parts of 7th Fleet operations and Marine Expeditionary Units. Consequently, actual numbers of visits in the highlighted period entries are somewhat higher than this data shows.

General information on ships is drawn from government sources including America’s Navy, U.S.Navy’s Military Sealift Command, Task Force 76 Command List – Amphibious Force Seventh Fleet, and from non-government sources such as U.S. Carriers - United States Ships (USS) history and deployments, SeaWaves, , NavSource Naval History - Photographic History of the U.S. Navy, Wikipedia, as well as media sources, especially the Northern Territory News.

Alyssa Betts, “Seamen ahoy - US boys meet NT girls”, NT News, 29 June 2010, at .

“DARWIN'S prostitutes and local ladies have been busy trying to keep pace with the swell of cute, horny US seamen on our shores. But they must be more than capable because at least one chemist is reporting low condom stocks and a number of Navy blokes asking about Viagra. USS Peleliu and USS Pearl Harbor have docked at Fort Hill Wharf and unleashed hundreds of young, well-cut and hot-to-trot sailors. Ship rules mean no sex on board - beyond what's on offer in a magazine. Michelle Love, who operates Blondies in Darwin, said her 30 girls had been kept busy servicing the Yankees. But she said the increase in US clients had been offset by a temporary slide of local customers - suspected of either being jealous or considerate.

"Most of the local boys don't even call when the boats are in town. They probably think the girls are busy and worn out or they may get their noses out of joint," she said. Ms Love said the US boys were never any problems - "they treat the girls like gold". She said the only possible issue was competition from the amateurs. "Every horny woman comes out of the woodwork," she said. "But there's enough to go around."

Taxi drivers are also enjoying a business boom. They've reported dropping off lusty groups at hotels who use rooms for short periods. A Darwin driver delivered two ladies for a rendezvous with Navy sorts yesterday. "One told me, 'Oh honey, I might call you later to pick me up again - I got a couple of jobs'," the driver said. "She said she can make up to $4000 a day because she's so busy."

A chemist assistant in Darwin's CBD reported a spike in condom sales yesterday. "We still have some, but we're low on stock," they said. "There's also been quite a few questions to find out if Viagra is on prescription or over the counter. It's hilarious. They're all young fit and muscley. But they're quite nice and a few made a couple of jokes."
