Remember the Canberra!

Disappointed that no mention was made of HMAS Canberra's last surviving crew member from Savos Island, Yarrawonga's Des Jones. No invitation either given to members of the HMAS Shropshire-Canberra Association nor descendants of the Australian cruiser. Aside from that heard on the ABC's Australia All Over there was a New Zealand connection to the former cruiser. Finally admire the fact that the Yanks still give due recognition to an Indivisible Power. God Bless the Yanks.

What is that, frigate? Should have stuck with Spruance hulls. It doesn't look very crew friendly or maintenance friendly.

Littoral combat ship, one of two variants (tri-marine hull). It is intended for "brown water" operations
