I agree with TG, I sail on port phillip, melbourne.
I have to chaps I know that were very lucky re this type of ship, one who got off Hmas Sydney at Perth for R&R ( it never came back) and has 3 sons and they sail out of the same club.
The other chap was on The Hmas Hobart when it was topedoed. Albeit they are a tad old they still get on a yacht and still like the taste of a good whisky.I will have a chat to one of them today.
Thanks for keeping the thread.
Rgds to all, M
