I visited this Australian Aircraft carrier, it was moored in the harbour along with an Australian destroyer -H.M.A.S. Warramunga and a light cruiser -H.M.A.S. Voyager, a congtingent of each of the ships crew were on parade at the Queens Birthday Parade on 21 April 1958. My memory of this visit is of many,many long corridors not knowing where we were and of the very cramped sleeping bunks,much less room than on the 2 troopships I travelled on,
