At one stage during the war, the dockworkers went on strike over pay and conditions. The saliors (both Australian and U.S.) got upset as they were trying to fight a war. There were fights and some bloodshead, before they did go back to work. There was some resentment also between U.S. servicemen and Australians which also didn't help.

Don't worry! the women will still greet you when you return from patrol and there will be plenty of beer, servied Ice cold!!:up:

If I remember correctly, a similar strike in Auckland, New Zealand forced the US 1st Marine Division to have to combat load their own ships prior to Operation Shoestring, the 1942 landings on Japanese-occupied Guadalcanal. Needless to say General Vandegrift and the Marines weren't too pleased. :lol:
