The painting of HMAS Warramunga reflects a major article in this edition which provides a potted history of the RAN in the Korean War.

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.
