Quite a few years ago my father and sister went to see this ship when it was visiting Brisbane. Dad was a handler HMAS Melbourne CVS 21 in the 50's (as well as HMAS Vengeance). During their visit, Dad was shown so much courtesy and respect, that he thought he was an officer. He has since passed away, but he always remembered his time aboard the Melbourne and the lovely treatment given to him by the crew. I still have the cap given to him by his guide during the visit. Fair winds and following seas Gentlemen.

The mighty 05 was my first canoe 💔❤
Proud of all these sailors and what they do.
There is no braver mariner than a RAN sailor. Professional and Proud.
Just like the USN or USCG.
Aren't Aussies Great. 🤠
Can they wind the clock back to get more as a trade in?
Austrália lugar que eu gostaria de conhecer, esses lindos navios!
