HMAS Voyager Sinking 47th Anniversary 10th Feb. 2011.

There are many former, (and a few current) members of the Royal Australian Navy who frequent this site, and for all of us today is a special day in the History of the RAN.

Thanks for the reminder Fred. A very tragic incident and a rotten shame that so many had to fight the beaurocracy so hard and for so long for rightful recognition.

Cheers Mick.....Vets have to fight tooth and nail for any little bit of help from the Govt mate. They just don't want to know. We had to fight the mongrels for recognition for even having been in the war zone of Vietnam. And don't get me started on the subject of Mesothelioma (spel) We lived with asbestos all around us, used it, touched it, slept on it..... but we have to die before we can prove it killed us!!!!!! Neverless, I would do it all again.
Listening to the scuttlebut from our lads overseas, (brother of DIL in Afgh included) I don't think much has changed.
