Flinders Naval Depot, (HMAS CERBERUS), was officially opened. This date is now accepted as the commissioning date for HMAS CERBERUS.
1921 HMAS PROTECTOR, (gunboat), was re-commissioned as HMAS CERBERUS, and posted to Flinders Naval Depot as a tender.
The painting of HMAS Warramunga reflects a major article in this edition which provides a potted history of the RAN in the Korean War. The images of HMAS Adelaide reference the article about Adelaide’s Boarding party. It was only resourceful action by the ship’s helicopter, directed by the Flight Commander, that enabled the Boarding Party to be safely recovered, thereby averting an international incident.
