The Royal Australian Navy Circa 1970 Part 2

 The RAN of the 1970s in Pictures Part 2

Here we have a collection of 15 photographs of the various vessels, aircraft and weapons systems deployed by the Royal Australia Navy in around 1970. They are certainly no later than 1973 because the HMAS Sydney was de-commissioned that year.

Anyway, enjoy this slice of Vietnam War era Australian naval history. 

Of course, we have to start with the fleet Flagship, the mighty and storied HMAS Melbourne.
