Comments: This book traces the history of the Royal Australian Navy from colonial days to 1972. The birth and development of our navy and its activities in two World Wars, Korea and Vietnam. Not only are battles and fleet operations faithfully described but also coastwatching, mine clearance and diving.
Inscription on the illustrated front end paper and an ex libris label on the half title page. Otherwise a tightly bound and very good copy.
