Emergency
stations, 0030 hours. Tensions are deep but we are deeper. An alarm
sounds and everyone reacts, here teamwork is the key.
Such
were the scenes as we the crew of Australia’s latest fighting
machine were put to the test.
Being
part of a team that made the transition from a morbid trials crew
to a coherent united force driven to excell was a rewarding experience
I shall always reflect on.
As
commissioning draws near I am proud to be among the best, because
when you are beneath the waves the best is all there is. —
