Hi all,
I was with the Commissioning crew of Adelaide and as one of the Commissioning Guard was a very proud moment. I have some fond memories of life in Long Beach, Seattle and Dam Neck. My son Tim was born in the States along with quite a few others but he was the first to be Christened onboard. Adelaide is a great ship with a fantastic crew who were Number One and we were all so very proud to serve on her and to anyone who thought they could out do us we showed why the Australian Navy is one of the best in the world. I hope that all that dive on her respect her and remember the fantastic service she and her crews provided our Nation.
Regards
Ian Blue Bowyer
