I had several postings on the Melbourne 1966 to 1966 / 1968 to 1970
1974 to 1978 and finial 1980 to 1982 so I've many fond memories of
Shipmates and experiences but very little photographic memories,so
I find that this is fantastic site to go down memory lane

The worst pice of shit carrier ever. I wonder why they didnt scrap it earlyer? I bet in a third world war it wouldent have made any difference as the soviet navy would have fierd one torpedo and sunk her. But still a butifull carrier and a good video.
