I agree sglasto they should have kept the Melbourne as well. But when they got rid of her to the Chinese little did they know it was going to be used as a study ship for the Chinese and their efforts to get a carrier. Which they have already now. She could have been put to a better use than scrapped or sunk as was with the DDG's sad ending for all.
The memories come flooding back. I first joined Brisbane in 1978, I was 17 and boy was I excited. I remember the captain actually stopped and said hello to me when I was working on the upper decks now that was a buzz.
The footage is from across about a decade or so. I first put this together in 2005 with a Skid Row song as the soundtrack. It has turned up in many different forms in lots of places since then.

It's an absolute travesty they didn't berth BRISBANE in Darling Harbour at the Maritime Museum. (And I've heard all their pathetic excuses!)
