June 15, 1961: Type 15 frigate HMAS QUICKMATCH from starboard quarter - prob. Alan Zammit, RAN.
6223. After her conversion at Wiliamstown Naval Dockyard from WWII destroyer to a Type 15 fast anti-submarine frigate, HMAS QUICKMATCH was recommissioned on Sept. 23, 1955 by LCDR Duncan Stevens, captain of HMAS VOYAGER on the night of her tragic loss.
LCDR Stevens had charge of QUICKMATCH for a year. This is a fine view of the 2020-2,700 ton [fl] frigate is taken off Sydney, we think possibly by Alan Zammit as ships were assembling for the RAN Fleet entry marking the Navy's 50th Anniversary.
