BOATWORK AT GI, 1984. HMAS ADELAIDE [II] and CANBERRA [II] alongside - Stephen Hood.

4846. Both since retired and scuttled as cost-overrun victims of the troubled FFG Upgrade Project, the first of the RAN's Oliver Hazard Class frigates are seen here rafted together at Garden Island in January 1984.

 

Photo:Images kindly offered for choice by Stephen Hood, RANC 1982-1985, RAN 1982-1998, one of the midshipmen on the boatwork exercise. A more complete set of images, both of shipmates and sightseeing scenes as the ship moved around the New Zealand coasts and ports, can be seen on Stephen's photostream, here:
