RAN Hosts International Fleet Review

TarJak · 10-02-13, 07:33 AM

Celebrating the centenary of the Royal Australian Navy fleet's 1913 entry into Sydney Harbour my home town is hosting a party this weekend: http://www.navy.gov.au/ifr/

As its a long weekend here, I plan to spend at least one day trying to get a look at some of the hardware on display. There will be displays and events most of the weekend so it should be as big as the 1986 75th anniversary and the 1988 Bicentennial reviews which I witnessed all those years ago.

Taking the camera this time so will post a few shots of the more than 40 warships and16 tall ships taking part once the celebrations get under way and I get something worth showing. Unfortunately this time there are no carriers taking part and only the one Collins class sub so fans of this genre including me will be a little disappointed: http://www.navy.gov.au/ifr/participants/warships

Anyway ahoy mateys I'll post more about it as things get cranking. No doubt the girlies will be as out in force as the pussers and the pubs will be heaving with drunken sailors each night.

Perhaps I'll see you there, and promptly forget you because I won't recognise you

And that's probably a good thing until you are 18.

No offense but your parents might not like me.

Your Adelaide Class frigates seem...familiar...

Australia has always been on my bucket list before I retire.

True statement. At the subsim meet, we had to tell TJ to tone it down a wee bit.

Good to see the Kiwi's battleship there.
