I've known Jonathan Sadleir since he came out here from the RCN and I've done a lot of work with him in his previous posting. A very driven and focused officer, this posting will test him like no other. If he does well driving Canberra he'll pick up his first star (potentially as COMFLOT or COMWAR depending on the posting cycles).

Thanks for the photos. My brother used to call the Canberra “One Badass Ship”! He served aboard the Canberra from 1962-1966.

In early August 1945, there was some debate about naming a US warship after HMAS Perth, after escaped POW's finally told the story of her heroic last stand at the Battle of the Sunday Strait, fighting alongside USS Houston. But the war ended and warship construction virtually ceased before anything could come of this discussion.
