Title: Review of "The Royal Australian Navy"
Review: This is a well written book - Volume 3 of a series"The Australian Centenary History of Defence Services". This volume is written by 6 contributors including the editor Dr D M Stevens.All the contributors served in the Royal Australian Navy.The first chapter deals with the formation of The CommonwealthNaval Forces from five colonial naval forces and then the creation of the Royal Australian Navy in 1913.The conflicts in which the navy was engaged are covered in some detail as well as the periods of peace with all the professional and political problems of how the navy should be developed.There are good black and white photographs as well as fold-out plans of significant ships. There is a list of major ships giving the fate(i.e. sunk sold scuttled etc) of those no longer in service.Also of value is a list of abbreviations for reference - for exampleit may not be known to everyone that a DDG is a "Guided MissileDestroyer"!
