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.
Head here for Part 1 
Thanks for posting these images Russell. It certainly brought back memories from when I worked at Garden Island straight out of school. Getting the ferry from Circular Quay, we would always pass beneath the bow of HMAS Melbourne whenever she was in port.
ReplyDeleteHi Greg. I’m glad that the photos, especially of HMAS Melbourne, brought back some good memories. Rediscovering them was a real blast from the past for me too!
