THIS IS A COPY OF AN UNCLASSIFIED AUSTRALIAN NAVAL ORDER
- The award of Battle Honours to Her Majesty’s Australian Ships is intended to foster esprit de corps among their officers and ships companies, who are thereby encouraged to take a personal interest in the war-time exploits not only of their present ship but also of those of same name which distinguished themselves in the past.
- Battle Honours, which are intended to reflect successful war service in action or in a recognised campaign, rather than a record of war service, have been awarded to ships (including former ships of the same name) eligible to display any of the following named Battle Honours:
