Joel stars in Freo’s magazine

ABBM Joel Salmond receives his CO’s Commendation from LCDR Matt Brown.

In training and setting up for a tow aft are (L-R) POB Luke Leather, ABBM Jarrah Parker, MIDN Brendan Findlater and LSBM Dale Gilbert.

The First and Finest HMAS Fremantle (LCDR Matt Brown) is now back on the block and in top form after completing a five-month refit, a workup and ORE.

All 26 members of the ship’s company know how much work is required to get a ship from refit to OLOC, but none more so than ABBM Joel Salmond.

AB Salmond was awarded a CO’s Commendation for his outstanding work in the hot, confined and generally unsavory job of refitting the ship’s magazines.

Meanwhile in the Australian Economic Exclusion Zone to the North of the Tiwi Islands the training program of the ship continues.
