Teamwork
and fun were the names of the game for the annual VAT Smith Cup
at HMAS Albatross on November 19.
Named after the late father of the Fleet Air Arm Admiral Sir Victor
Albert Trumper Smith, the novelty event involved relay teams of
six in a series of entertaining challenges including swimming,
cycling, running and even pie-eating.
ADML Smith took command of HMAS Albatross on January 14, 1957,
at the same time the Shoalhaven Shire Council had been dismissed,
with ADML Smith appointed as the administrator.
He carried out many civic duties and did much to draw the local
community and Navy closer together, with a close rapport still
enjoyed today.
The event was expertly organised by LSPT Ollie Kaese.
