Was on board right after basic training and stayed for almost five year Jan 81-July85. Came on as a E-1 and left a E-4. Retired as an HTC (SW) in 2004.
Was onboard her 1971 to 1973 and on her during the riot on the night of Oct 12th, 1972. The book "Troubled Waters" is an accurate account of that race riot/mutiny. That Westpac started in Feb 72 and ended in Dec 72. Worked in OZ Division. We didn't think that cruise would ever end.
