Comments: “Tall Tales & True from the Boys in Blue”–a collection of stories from and about the men of the Royal Australian Navy. I served in the navy from 1960 to 1972 and paid off as a Petty Officer Underwater Control. These are some of my stories and some from my Brothers-In-Arms. Most of the stories are funny, told with that great good humour that sailors possess. A few are sad or a little more introspective. Whatever the genre, they all reflect the ethos of the navy–the mateship and the humour.
This is a book that every ex-sailor will want to read. But so will a lot of civilians who wondered what it was like out here on the wide blue sea with the sailors of the Australian navy.
