1961: jackstay transfer between QUICKMATCH and VOYAGER [II] - Graeme K. Andrews.

3554. Another photo taken in the South China Sea. HMAS QUICKMATCH and HMAS VOYAGER [II] joined company in the Far East on December 28, 1960, and after exercising in Malaysian waters paid a goodwill visit to Bangkok, after which they staged torpedo and gunnery demonstrations for Thai naval officers and press.

 

The two ships joined other RAN units taking part in the SEATO Exercise JET '61 off the Philippines before returning to Australia.
