By the way before i joined in 59 I could not spell Artifiersur; now I is one. Remember the OAs and Chippies

Magnificent. We really did rule the waves.

Ganges boy 71 , Vernon - Fife (GMD) Achilles (Leander) - Cuxton and Brinton (sweepers) Caledonia, 12yrs enjoyed it all

Minute 5, Ikara, proudly Australian-made and the best ASW weapon at the time.

Type 12s and Leanders. Modified as River class FF then DE in the RAN. I served in four of them, Parramatta, Derwent, Torrens and Swan, the mighty Battle Duck. Great ships, great crews, great times, great memories. We worked hard, played hard and partied hard.

Great info. Thanks

Gotta love listening to somthing you haven't heard for 40 years and remembering it

Peter macaleese mentions in his book no mean soldier that the aussies werent keen at first about being under british command but they changed their views later when the found out the brits knew more about the area!

Two years and six days later that ship no longer existed 😢

The RAF didn’t want the buccaneers until they were forced on them with Ark Royal being scrapped but they loved them in the end

It was Maori in Grand Harbour. The Lt Cdr was my Dad.

I joined HMS Scylla F71 in Singapore in 1974. Captain F7 under the Command of Captain Oliver (Sink 'Em) Sutton. Had a fantastic time going around the Far East. Visiting Townsville Au, and spending my 22nd birthday on the beach on Magnetic Island. Then on to Christchurch NZ, Gisborne NZ, Sydney, Hong Kong, Mahi Seychelles, Capetown SA, and unexpected stop in Freetown Sierra Leonne for a couple of days , Gibraltar and home. Great trip and had more to follow. We had some great characters on board Does anyone remember the Jossman? ;Lock 'em away Harraway! After a couple of trips to the North Atlantic on Fishery Protection during the Cod War, ramming the Icelandic Gunboat The Odinn, we ended up in Gib in the hot summer of 1976 for three months leaving the Scylla in for a refit and changing ship to the Jupiter which had just been refitted there. Happy days and great memories.

35 years later the main broadcast alarm for action stations still send a shiver down my spine

I was in 42 Commando in N. Borneo at Khota Belud the Brunei Revolt and Sarawak, I had also served in Malaya...The Marines loved the RAF with their Beverly Boxcars, Twin and single engine PIONEERS, Dakota DC 9..we were lost without their parachute drops...Thank you RAF

Subtitles and cockney translation would help to decifer these sea witches.

Excellent film about the working men and not the brass 👍🏻

1972 l was the sea cadets, and we joined HMS Aurora F10 and travelled across to the lisle of Man where the ship gave a gun salute to the island.... it was very exiting l remember. We left the frigate on a cutter and stayed a B&B accommodation. It's a pity that these type 12i frigates were decommissioned in the 1990 and scrapped

What would the chance of the main guns shooting down a fast jet like an F4 Phantom?!

Thanks for sharing, great to see. The Fort looks a bit different today.

Give it back!

Really lucky hit by a Seacat? I didn't know the Poms used our Ikara system. We had 6 River class D/E's. (Modified Leander's). Unfortunately, the RAN didn't have the helo version. I believe the Kiwis did. Shame about the Sheffield. Aluminum uppers are nice and light but burn fiercely. For some reason many Navies continue to build them this way.

Funny how they go to Halifax to carry out the anti-sub exercise in the “ North Atlantic “ and they are not wearing shirts!

How did we survive??

What great acting!

Incredible but often overlooked, lads! God bless them

Actually, it's CODE NAME SNAKE'S EYE, not SNAKE EYES,

This is better than any action film

王立宇宙軍は打ち上げシーンも好きなのだがそれ以上に冒頭の水軍空母の発艦シーンが好きなんだよね　この記録映画それに似てるから作画の際に参考にしたんだろうね

Thanks for uploading - interesting watch

i like the music. i like anything thats bap-doo-bap.

the music was produced by my father dick brown and a composer called michael stevenson from decca records. a commission from the home office required 4 different musical scores. this was back in 1974. my father was a close friend of actor gordon jackson.

Recognise some great characters, Lazy Lobb for one

You said that this base relies on their twice a week helicopter drop of food and supplies Then you claimed that the patrol could be out as long as two weeks So which is it? They were NOT equipped to be gone for two weeks

😂😂 they kicked fresh eggs, packed in a box out of a helicopter from 80 feet up in the air? 😂😂😂

Which carrier is this? I used to work for a guy who was a ship's diver on HMS Illustrious. He was a good man.

How lovely and refreshing it is to see the sailors worshiping God on board. Not much of that anymore. Therein lies the problem

I spent a week on Fife when it was alongside in Whale Island for my sea week during training back in 1979. Lived in the FWD sailors mess. I remember the dining hall being full of cock roaches. Then again, so was the Arethusa 79 - 82.

Engage!

The days when all Naval officers spoke in clipped tones - marvelous.

RIP Andrew Thomas who i believe was on this tour. Yeah I knew Andrew from my office in London.

Everything about this looks insanely dangerous -and the enemy's not even shooting at them! Just our of interest, how many people were killed in training?

when i see those man . human .people think about your destiny e few years in may 21 is incredible .. they were young man .

Nice to see a steam engine and fire room

David Bober.. thanks for these. a link ( the Coventry ) was sent by my shipmate off the Achilles we were both boy sailors 1965/66 these videos bring back fond ( and disturbing) memories ( ( I'm 74), many thanks.

Ol' boys used to get right close to those tests. Crazy.

Sorry you were just sunk 😂
