5729. Newly converted Type 15 fast anti-submarine frigate HMAS QUADRANT is opening her short service with the First Frigate Squadron. We're not certain at what roadside wharf this image is taken - but it appears nbot to be at Williamstown Naval Dockyard [see comment below]see where the former WWII Royal Navy destroyer was converted between Feb. 1950 and her re-commissioning on July 16, 1953. In 1957, under refit in Sydney, her hull and engines were determined to be largely worn out and she was paid off on Aug. 16 that year, having steamed only 113,000 additional miles as a frigate -a situation on that would have had to call the whole cost and effort of her conversion into question.
QUICKMATCH, by comparison, re-commissioned on Sept 23, 1955, and paid off on April 26, 1963, giving 7-1/2 years additional service, and steaming a further 247,000 miles.
While the mileage figures as frigates are not separated out for all ships in our sources, the additional service and mileages for HMAS QUEENBOROUGH and QUIBERON seem to be similar to QUICKMATCH.
The car beside the dock here is a two-tone FJ Holden - one of the classic Australian-made cars - and must be very new. They were produced from 1953 to 1956.

791. On a loan arrangement with the British Admiralty, the destroyer HMAS QUICKMATCH was commissioned into the Royal Australian Navy on her completion in Sept. 1942 by CMDR R. Rhoades RAN [ex-HMAS VENDETTA], with an Australian company. This was two months after HMAS QUIBERON came into the RAN on the same arrangement - and both followed the five N Class destroyers that had come into the RAN in the same way.
It should be understood that these were manning arrangements only, and entered into for Britain's strategic cause, and the benefit of the Royal Navy. While they contributed bravely to the wider Allied cause, these seven loan destroyers were assigned throughout the war to British Fleets, in generally distant places, and played no role, say, in 1942-43. in what became known as the battle for Australia, or, until 1945, in the Pacific War. At no time were they at the disposal of the Australian Government, or deployed, ever, directly in Australia's defence.
It is the reason why, in post-WWII years, their service - often valiant enough - had little sense of 'connectedness' to Australia, and remained far less well known than those under RAN command, the ships that were at tzhe fall of Singapore and Java, the Battle of the Coral Sea, the fierce battles around New Guinea and the Solomons, the Philippines, and ultimate recovery of the Southwest Pacific.
At the end,with the war over, the five N Class ships went back to England with British crews, while QUICKMATCH, QUIBERON, and three of their British Pacific Fleet sister ships remained in Australia - no longer really wanted or needed - were left in Australia, still on 'loan' until 1950, when they were presented to the RAN for conversion to Type 15 frigates.
The wartime manning arrangements, of course, were just part of the nature of global war.
In the period this photograph was taken, QUICKMATCH has returned from Occupation duties in Japan, to which she will return. She is a unit of the RAN's 10th destroyer flotilla.

3284. At the end of Commonwealth Exercise JET 1961, escorting the carrier HMAS MELBOURNE [II], the RAN ships reached Trincomalee on March 10, 1961. The left for Bombay [Mumbai] and then Karachi four days later.
The men are enjoying a swim at Trincomalee here after the passage from Fremantle and intense period of exercising in the Indian Ocean.
We had a great colour photograph of QUEENBOROUGH in Bombay Harbour rom Kim Dunstan at pic NO. 2796, here:

3553. With the Royal Navy frigate HMS St. BRIDES BAY standing off to port, the fast anti-submarine frigate QUICKMNATCH went to the assistance of this motorised junk with engine disabled in the South China Sea late in 1960.
The junk, laden with rubber bales, was to sink while under tow during storms that night, requiring the rescue of the 46 people aboard.
There is an account of this incident at sea on a personal website by Phillip W. Bensted, ex-RAN, and devoted to his RAN and merchant marine service, which we happened across.
Phillip writes:'....On the 4th. November 1960, we were joined by an RN Frigate, HMS ST BRIDES BAY [F600] a day out from Singapore in the South China Sea, and later we came upon a disabled motorised junk. The Engineering Officer went over to see if the engine could be fixed only to find the enterprising Indonesians had almost completely stripped it down trying to rectify the problem. The CO decided to tow the junk to Singapore. During the night we encountered storms and the junk sank. There were 46 people on board and all were rescued and locked down in the tiller flat which was a smelly space where spare mooring ropes and fenders were kept. We departed the area which was strewn with the junk's cargo of rubber bales...'
Maritime writer Graeme Andrews was also member of HMAS QUICKMATCH's company, among a number of RAN ships on which he served.

5611. We have had quite a few photographs of Jenny's Side Party, the volunteer group of ship painters and cleaners in Hong Kong, but we're sure many Navy people will be interested to see this 1947 view. We think that's the group's leader, the indefatigable Mrs Ng Muk Kah - Jenny' -on the tiller, of course. Born on a junk in Causeway Bay in 1917, she would have been 30 years old in this photo.
A late 1950s photo of Jenny and her group on HMAS QUICKMATCH, with a further internal link in that entry, can be found here:

2647. One of the few photographs we've seen of the RAN's five 'Q' Class destroyers in the immediate postwar years. From the end of WWII to the conversion of four of the five ships to Type 15 fast anti-submarine frigates from the early 1950s, their records seem almost a blank.
The RAN Seapower Centre's heritage webpage for the ships says 'simply:
'... In the early postwar years QUICKMATCH remained in sea-going service in Australian waters, interspersed with several tours of duty in Japanese and Korean waters.
In july 1948 she returned to Sydney after three months as the Australian squadron representative in Japan and was placed in immobilised commission. She paid off on 15 May, 1950...'
This is incredibly sparse coverage of those three years, 1945-1948, really, in comparison to the usually detailed accounts of ship movements and activities.
The same applies in this period for HMASs QUEENBOROUGH, QUADRANT and QUALITY, although details for HMAS QUIBERON's movements at the time are somewhat more expansive.
In any event, the photograph above appears to have been taken in Trinity Inlet at Cairns.
Photo: Naval Historical Collection, Australian War memorial, image ID. NO. 301274. Listed as copyright expired, public domain. The photograph appears in the Topmill Pty Ltd book 'Australian Warships and Auxiliaries of the 1940s' compiled by Jonathan Nally [Topmill, Sydney 2010] p72; also in Vic Cassells's book 'For Those in Peril...' [Kangaroo Press. Sydney 1995] p205. The photo also appears in the RAN Heritage Collection, image ID No. 03116, but is mis-captioned there as HMAS QUIBERON.
3387. In service with Royal Navy in the Atlantic, Mediterranean, and then with the Eastern Fleet's 7th Destroyer Flotilla based at Kilindini in Kenya, the Australian-comissioned 'Q' Class destroyers HMAS QUCKMATCH and HMAS QUIBERON did not visit Australia until late 1944.
QUICKMATCH underwent a refit in Melbourne and QUIBERON engaged in patrols off the Australian East Coast until both joined the British Pacific Fleet in April for the attack on Okinawa and push to Japan.
The above photograph appears to have been taken after the entire BPF 4th Flotilla of five 'Q' Class destroyers was transferred to the RAN on loan in in Sydney in October 1945. The group is led by HMAS QUEENBOROUGH acording to a caption in the RAN Archives. The other two ships are unidentified.

3261. The newly-appointed Minister of the Navy, Senator John Grey Gorton [Prime Minister 1968-1971] made this jackstay transfer from the flagship HMAS MELBOURNE [II] during Operation Showcase off Sydney in February 1959, when he and a number of other MPs visited the Fleet.
Gorton, a former RAAF fighter pilot in WWII, had reason to hold the Navy in high affection. As already recounted, Gorton, severely injured in a flying accident in early 1942, was rescued from a raft by HMAS BALLARAT when his evacuation ship from Singapore was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine.
When he came aboard the navy's flagship 17 years later, however, it seems that he left a less-than-stellar impression on the men. In fact, it seems that only the wardroom's bar stewards were in any way impressed.
Contributor Graeme Andrews, author of a book on HMAS MELBOURNE, recalls: 'When Gorton came aboard he gave us the usual politician crap. We were all lined up on the flight deck. it wasn't 'his' Navy, it was 'ours.' Yeah, sure!. He stated that he would be getting around the ship and try to talk to as many of us as he could. Yeah!
Some days of relative invisibility later he appeared on the flight deck all ready to 'walk' the rope to 'QuickieMaru.' I was one of the many sailors who held the loose end of the hawser, keeping the tension on as the ships moved in and out off their track. Full of bonhomie Gorton came up to the PO in charge and said ' Good morning PO, I suppose this device really is safe?
The PO, The Bravest man in the World, said: 'Yes Sir, it is, but you might consider that it is being held by the sailors that you were going to get to know.'
The rest of us were trying to become invisible. I have often wondering if that PO has finished his jail sentence yet?
By the way, a Sydney Morning Herald photograph of Gorton's bosun's chair return to MELBOURNE later made the news, and it re-appeared on the front page of the March 6, 1959 issue of the Navy News soon after. It can be see here:

1934. On Feb 5-14, 1946, the heavy cruiser HMAS SHROPSHIRE made her first-ever visit to Melbourne, a city already thrumming with a heavy post-WWII concentration of Australian and British warships. Sailing from Sydney on Feb. 3 SHROPSHIRE and the Tribal Class destroyer HMAS BATAAN had first called at Flinders Naval Depot, where Capt. C.A.G. Nichols, RN, had discussed the drafts for the cruiser's future manning needs, before proceeding on to Melbourne on the 5th. SHROPSHIRE berthed at Inner East, Station Pier while BATAAN went to outer West, and they were joined two days later by HMAS AUSTRALIA [II], returning from war repairs in Britain and arriving in Melbourne on the 7th. The cruiser HMAS HOBART was also present during this time, as were the destroyer HMAS QUICKMATCH, sloop HMAS SWAN [II] and at least a dozen RAN River Class frigates and Bathurst Class corvettes at Williamstown, along with tghe British Pacific Fleet destroyer HMS TYRIAN. Berthed elsewhere in the Yarra River were the RN destroyers HMS URSA, HMS TENACIOUS, HMS TUMULT, and HMS UNDINE. Melbourne, like the other Australian State capitals and major ports, must have been a real Navy town. As the great dispersal of the British Pacific Fleet continued, many more major ships were passing through Port Phillip Bay. SHROPSHIRE and BATAAN departed on Feb. 14 for the traditional Navy call on the Hobart Regatta [another 'first' for SHROPSHIRE, while AUSTRALIA [II] left to return, at last, to her home port in Sydney. Our favourite photograph of HMAS SHROPSHIRE had been taken by Allan Green during this period at Inner East, Station Pier, with AUSTRALIA {ii} stern-to-stern behind her.

4267. HMAS QUICKMATCH is seen here mid-stream in Melbourne's Yarra River in the mid-1950s when three ships of the First Frigate Squadron were present [HMAS QUIBERON's conversion was not completed until 1957]. This is a wonderfully detail high-resolution image up large, and the venerablke Melbourne tugboat KEERA is standing by alongside QUICKMATCH.
The image is an obvious companion to one presented earlier at pic NO. 2685, in which all three ships can be seen. It's here:

We've been unable to ascertain what brought the three frigates of the First Frigate Flotilla together in Melbourne around this time.

4802. Resting at Williamstown, the WWII River Class frigate HMAS GASCOYNE [I] and postwar Type 15 HMAS QUICKMATCH are about to be towed away by the tug SUMI MARU for scrapping by the Fujita Salvage Company in Osaka, Japan.
The difference in size between the frigates a generation apart is very evident, GASCOYNE having been 1,370 tons standard, and the converted former destroyer QUICKMATCH 2020 tons standard as a frigate. [she had been 1750 tons as a 'Q' Class destroyer].
QUICKMATCH ended her career as an accomodation ship at Williamstown Naval Dockyard.

4266. This is another good one from the dear old 'Navy News,' by P.L. Koch, whose style we feel is somewhat in the school of major contributor Graeme Andrews, who also served on HMAS QUICKMATCH, and a selection of whose works were presented at pic NO. 3486, and adjacent images, seen here:
www.flickr.com/photos/41311545@N05/5260704102/in/photostr...
Both cartoonists, one feels, are also in the tradition of the late Stan Cross of 'Smith's Weekly,' and the 'For gorsake, stop laughing, this is serious' style which became famous in 1933. Anyway, Kookaburra is now getting together a nice framed selection by both men for the dining room walls, as a surprise gift for Lady Kookaburra's birthday. We know that she's going to be absolutely delighted.
[NOTE: HMAS QUICKMATCH had inaugurated the RAN's first 'Family Day' off Sydney on June 20, 1958].

4409. In 1943, after service off North Africa and in the Atlantic, HMAS QUIBERON [above] and her sister ship HMAS QUICKMATCH joined the Royal Navy Eastern Fleet's 7th Destroyer Flotilla, based at Kilindini, in Kenya.
After the Japanese carrier raid disasters of early 1942, the RN moved its Indian Ocean bases farther west, essentially abandoning Trincomalee until 1944.
Combined with the RAN 'N' Class destroyers, Australian ships made up a significant part of the 7th Destroyer Flotilla, as the 'Scrap Iron' V&W Class ships with STUART had done in the 10th Destroyer Flotilla in the Mediterranean earlier.

4379. A routine slice of naval life from the Second World War that will surely soon be seen as dated as muzzle-loading. The labour intensive art of manual loading of 'fixed round' ammunition into quick firing guns would have taken constant practice and teamwork to achieve a smooth and rapid rate of fire. Contributor Graeme Andrews recalls that the gunnery teams on one of his ships, the anti-submarine frigate HMAS QUICKMATCH, could achieve 12-14 rounds per minute with each gun on her twin 4-inch mount.
The combined weight a 31lb projectile and powder-filled brass cartridge on the 4-inch Australian Minesweeper [AMS] guns - sometimes called a 'Woolworth gun' - was around 70 lbs, and approaching the upper limit of weight it was considered one man could handle in a sustained, repeated way. There was some manual loading of 80lb fixed ammunition for 4.5 inch guns during WWII, but beyond that required seperate projectiles and cartridge charges, like those for example used on Tribal Class 4.7 inch weapons.
See HMAS ARUNTA'S 4.7 inch being loaded with separate charges at pic NO. 3318, here:

3385. The ice floe camouflage is not so white on the starboard side of the new WWII 'Q' Class destroyer HMAS QUICKMATCH. But it is still somehow striking,
The 1,705 - 2500 ton [full load] destroyer was commissioned directly into the RAN on loan from manning purposes on her completion.
She and HMAS QUIBERON, however, carried out virtually their entire war service as units of the British Fleet.

760. QUIBERON was the last of the four RAN 'Q' Class destroyers converted to a 'Type 15' fast anti-submarine frigate.
Her conversion was done at Cockatoo Island Dockyard, and she was re-commissioned on Dec. 18 1957.
A couple of months later, on Feb. 26, 1958, during a Royal Visit she was host to Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother, carrying that lady from Manly to Sydney Cove. She left Australia soon after to conduct anti-piracy patrols off Borneo.
The ship had 14 years ahead as an antisubmarine frigate. On Monday, April 10, 1972, ex-HMAS QUIUBERON, together withex- HMAS TOBRUK, was towed out of Sydney Harbour for scrapping at Moji in Japan [pic 291].
The tug SUMI MARU No. 18, then returned to Sydney to collect the frigates ex-HMAS GASCOYNE and ex-HMAS QUICKMATCH for a similar fate.

Looking bedraggled and dock-worn , this photo of the 1,705 ton Q Class destroyer HMAS QUICKMATCH under refit at Williamstown is taken in the same period as the preceding image.In this photo, however, only one of the starboard boats is landed, so it is not - after all - taken at more or less the same moment.

Just for purposes of comparison with the next pic, we point out here that the davits abaft the funnel are drawn back, and both the ship's starboard boats are landed.

3384. Newly completed by J. Samuel White and Co.of Cowes, Isle of Wight, and about to be comissioned on loan into the RAN, the destroyer QUICKMATCH shows a surprising side to her.
It is this North Artlantic-Arctic ice floe pattern, which is rather differenty to that which we have previously seen on her starboard side.
In fact, we've never seen a camouflage pattern quite as white as this anywhere before.
In any event, the Kookaburra has again been moved to shift photos around so we can again see a previous starboard side photo of QUICKMATCH-Maru [as she came to be called in the RAN] from the starboard side, with the continuation of this original camouflage pattern.

This is the completed shell minus the leader(fuse) and lift. The outer petal stars are dark comp to green, and the iner petal stars are blue. The burst charge is ricehulls coated 5/1 ratio with homemade ballmilled black powder. About a quarter teaspoon of flash is added to give it a little more bang and help excelerate the stars all the way out so they don't droop. Add quickmatch and 3.5 onces of 2fa black powder and it's ready to shoot. This has 1.5 inches of time fuse giving it between 4 and 5 seconds of lift time. This should put the burst around 700 feet
I will take this opportunity to make an apology for recent unnecessary negative activity concerning the use of my photos. I simply had no idea of the widespread use of photos posted to flikr sites but as in law, ignorance is no excuse. What is important is that the photos are made available to be enjoyed by all. I have many more to come including some that may be considered to be really extraordinary so sandy1618 on with the show.
A ship's newsletter from HMAS Napier about coming into port at Japan for the signing of the peace treaty. This includes a bit about what the crew's duties will be & what other ships were coming into port then.
Goliath had all the motors at the top of the tripod, but that is a lot of weight at the top especially now the rocket and tripod is bigger.
In 2002, I discovered quickmatch, so the main cluster of 8Ds can now be put round the fuselage and angled out so as not to destroy it,
When they burn out, they light the quickmatch, the flame then travels 1.5m at 40m/s to light the hoover / shute ejection stage.

HMAS QUICKMATCH 1950's
HMAS Quickmatch (G92/D21/D292/F04) was a Q-class destroyer operated by the Royal Australian Navy (RAN). Although commissioned into the RAN in 1942, the ship was initially the property of the Royal Navy. Quickmatch served with both the British Eastern Fleet and British Pacific Fleet during World War II. In the 1950s, the destroyer was converted into an anti-submarine frigate. In 1957, Quickmatch operated in support of Malaya during the Malayan Emergency. The ship remained in service until 1963, and after use as an accommodation ship, was sold for scrap in 1972.http://ift.tt/2cV5FWN

The first stage is a ring cluster around the fuselage of 8 x D12-0s ignited simultaneously with quickmatch.
The second stage is a single D and has less average thrust than the weight of the rocket. This "hover" stage stops the rocket falling too fast before the three shutes are deployed
