Ca. 1929: HMAS ANZAC [I] slices at speed through mounting seas - RAN.
6979: We don't have a precise date for this image, but on June 8, 1929, around this time, HMAS ANZAC [I] and her squadron put to sea off Sydney and stood by as pioneer aviator Charles Kingsford Smith completed his epic first flight across the Pacific.
At different times during her RAN career, ANZAC [I] was commanded by twin brothers, LCDR Reginald Creer, RAN, and LCDR Herbert Creer, RAN. LCDR E.C. Rhodes, RAN, was also her CO for a time.
