COMPENDIUM: 100 Photostream images of HMAS VAMPIRE [II] - Part II. Darling Harbour 2005.
5502. HMAS VAMPIRE [II] as tens of thousands of visitors each year now know her, at the Australian National Maritime Museum [ANNM} in Sydney's Darling Harbour.
This 2005' image by 'mikstan43' was selected by Goiogle Earth for its Darling Harbour/ANNM entry.
From a WWII design, VAMPIRE was one of eleven 2,800 ton [standard] 20th Century Daring Class destroyers built [there is a new Royal Navy AWD Class of this name now]. Eight ships of the Class were bult for the Royal Navy, and three for the RAN. A planned further eight RN ships were cancelled, and a fourth RAN ship HMAS WATERHEN was ordered in 1952, reportedly laid down at Williamstown Naval Dockyard, but cancelled in 1954. The RAN did acquire a fourth Daring Class ship, initially on loan in 1964, when HMAS DUCHESS arrived in April 1964 to replace the tragically lost HMAS VOYAGER [II].
Two of the original Royal Navy ships ended up with the Peruvian Navy [details next entry].
Images of HMAS VAMPIRE today are a ball of string, as she is so much photographed by the public at ANMM. The COMPENDIUM is mainly devoted to operational images of the ship in RAN service.
