Gulf vets
arrive to emotional welcome
Ferocious
seas did not deter HMAS Anzac (CAPT Peter Lockwood) and HMAS Darwin
(CMDR Aaron Ingram) from arriving at Fremantle to an emotional welcome
on May 17 after being away for almost seven months participating
in Op Slipper and Op Falconer.
Darwin and Anzac had been away for 210 days after leaving HMAS Stirling
on October 28.
During the deployment they completed more than 400 boardings of
vessels in the Persian Gulf and HMAS Anzac became the first Australian
warship since the Vietnam War to fire her guns in anger.
