Talk:History of the Royal Australian Navy

message: Something that stands out in the article is that HMAS Kuttabul is referred to as Garden Island in the press where as Stirling is referred to as Stirling. That by associating Garden Island only with Stirling could lead to confussion when using this as a reference. Gnangarra 11:54, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

message: There's a plaque at the enterance to port phillip bay, victoria that claims the RAN fired the first shots of WWI on a German merchant vessel attempting to leave the bay just after the declaration of WAR.   The plaque is near queenscliffe? also a number of other memorials there to the navy as well. Gnangarra 10:24, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah I forgot about that incident it would be worth a mention in the article, its a pretty big claim it would need to be referenced. Unfortunatly like you Gnangarra im in WA thats a little far to go to get a pic. Hossen27 10:54, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  WWI - first shots 

message: I think that the Pacific Patrol Boat Program is being covered in too much detail. The RAN didn't crew or operate any of these ships, and this was a defence co-operation and diplomatic program rather than something which forms part of the RAN's history. I think that the RAN's role in the program should be the subject of a single paragraph, at most. --Nick Dowling 07:01, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Your probably right Nick, but into what section to stick it, a single para is usually too short for a separate heading. Hossen27 10:42, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd suggest that it go in the Two Ocean Navy Policy section. The current material on the Pacific Patrol boat program would, of course, be a great addition to that article. --Nick Dowling 10:56, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

message: "The History of the Royal Australian Navy can be traced back to 1788 and the colonisation of Australia by the British."
But the Royal Australian Navy was only formed out of the Commonwealth Naval Force in 1901.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.108.238.234 (talk) 10:37, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
