The
Australian National Maritime Museum (ANMM) at Darling Harbour
Sydney will open a new exhibition on the history of the RAN on
December 10.
Even Harry’s Café de Wheels will be there on the day
serving its famous party pies.
The exhibition simply titled “Navy” is free to the public
and will remain on view for several years.
Chief of Navy, VADM Chris Ritchie is scheduled to officially open
the exhibition on December 10.
It will replace, update and expand a Navy exhibition that has
been on display since 1991.
Studded with human stories the exhibition will demonstrate the
great diversity of RAN activity down through the years.
On display, the four models of HMAS Sydney I (light cruiser, 1913-28),
Sydney II (light cruiser 1935-41), Sydney III (aircraft/troop
carrier, 1948-73), and Sydney IV (guided missile frigate, 1983-
) will show the evolution of Navy technology over the last 90
years.
