HMAS Quickmatch
Last in the Q?
HMAS Quickmatch backs out from Garden Island on a damp and foggy morning in the early '60s.
The crew huddle in their raincoats while steam curls upwards from the capstans and the overboard exhaust.
All the ESM gear has been removed from the topmast, replaced by the US style radomes on the mainmast,
Behind the Manly Ferry Bellubera is on her way to the Quay.
