Description
During International Navy Fleet Review 2013 in Darling Harbour Sydney. HMAS Onslow (SS 60/SSG 60) was one of six Oberon-class submarines operated by the Royal Australian Navy (RAN). The submarine was named after the town of Onslow, Western Australia, and Sir Alexander Onslow, with the boat's motto and badge derived from Onslow's family heritage. Ordered in 1963, Onslow was laid down at the end of 1967 by Scotts Shipbuilding and Engineering Company in Scotland, launched almost a year later, and commissioned into the RAN at the end of 1968. Onslow was decommissioned in 1999, and was presented to the Australian National Maritime Museum, where she is preserved as a museum ship.
HMAS Vampire was the third of three Australian-built Daring class destroyers serving in the Royal Australian Navy (RAN).

How many efforts the Crew must have taken to Show the ship in the brightest way and you, Miroslava, made a wonderful shot.

Great job capturing the modern day navy in port Miky. The sun shimmering on the water is so lovely. I like the submarine in front of the ships
