The patrol boat HMAS ARMIDALE, (LCDR J. Hunter, RAN), arrived in Honiara, Solomon Islands, to provide support to ADF and AFP personnel involved in Operation Anode.
ARMIDALE conducted patrols, and movement of ADF and AFP personnel to outlying islands.
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.
