Product Description

 
The navy has been a continuous presence in Australian waters from the earliest days of European settlement. The ships and men of Britain's Royal Navy and the early colonial naval forces guarded the remote colonies and charted our coasts until the birth of the Royal Australian Navy in 1911.
This book vividly traces our naval histoyr over two centuries of war and peace, from the RAN's first battle in 1914 to the desperate years of the Second World War when Australian warships served in the Arctic, the Mediterranean and the Pacific. It concludes with a summary of the remarkable range of service seen by the RAN from Korea and Vietnam to the Persian Gulf.
