Shore leave for tribal shipmates

NAVAL veterans converged on Dandenong RSL last month with a focus on destroyers.
Shipmates from Tribal class destroyers Arunta, Bataan and Warramunga joined with their partners and friends for their annual Tribal Luncheon on 23 June.

Mr Laughton said the Bataan and Warramunga crews forged an historic tie during a treacherous operation during the Korean War.
