CONCLUDING THE RAN 1961 GOLDEN JUBILEE BOOKLET SPECIAL. A best known image ...
3105. In the late1950s- early 1960s this photograph must have appeared in thousands of Navy newspaper recruiting advertisements, as did a particular image shown much earlier of the Battle Class destroyer HMAS ANZAC.
Shown here are HMAS MELBOURNE [II] launching a Gannet aircraft while simultaneously refuelling the anti-submarine frigate HMAS QUICKMATCH.
The advertisements made it one of the Navy's most familiar images.
And that completes our extracts from the booklet 'Royal Australian Navy 1911-1961: Golden Jubilee.' Thanks again to Ronald L. Marsh, 1957-1963, of Brisbane, who sent it with much other memorabilia for the Photostream.
A COMPENDIUM of links to some 350 images of HMAS MELBOURNE [II] on this Photostream begins at Pic 5444 and extends over seven entries. It starts here:
