Comments: The pictorial history of HMAS Brisbane during it’s 1977 cruise.
HMAS Brisbane was the third and last American built guided missile destroyer acquired by Australia in the mid 1960’s. The warship has the unique distinction of being the only Australian destroyer to have been deployed on active service to two major conflicts during the second half of the twentieth century. She was assigned for active serice in the Vietnam War in 1969 and again in 1971. Twenty years later Brisbane was the only Australian destroyer sent to the Persian Gulf during the 1990/1991 Gulf Crisis and Gulf War.
Includes nominal roll of the 1977 deployment.
