HMAS Melbourne

     HMAS Melbourne is shown approaching the "Vung Tau Ferry" HMAS Sydney, in late April 1966.
     Along with HMAS Vampire, HMAS Anzac and HMAS Supply, the Melbourne was escorting HMAS Sydney, loaded with 5RAR men and equipment for South Vietnam.
     At most times the Melbourne was in sight, but not in close proximity, and this steam past gave the men a chance to get a good view of the pride of the fleet.
