[edit] Which is the notable Garden Island

Something that stands out in the article is that HMAS Kuttabul is referred to as Garden Island in the press where as Stirling is referred to as Stirling. That by associating Garden Island only with Stirling could lead to confussion when using this as a reference. Gnangarra 11:54, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

oops, good point, ill change that. Hossen27 11:59, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations on the good work. You're not far from an FA. Durova 20:08, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations Hossen! --Nick Dowling 07:44, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks Nick but you deserve more than a little credit. You started the article and have contributed alot to it, now onto FA. Hossen27 08:03, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WWI - first shots

There's a plaque at the enterance to port phillip bay, victoria that claims the RAN fired the first shots of WWI on a German merchant vessel attempting to leave the bay just after the declaration of WAR. The plaque is near queenscliffe? also a number of other memorials there to the navy as well. Gnangarra 10:24, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Yeah I forgot about that incident it would be worth a mention in the article, its a pretty big claim it would need to be referenced. Unfortunatly like you Gnangarra im in WA thats a little far to go to get a pic. Hossen27 10:54, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Found an Age article on it [2]. Hossen27 10:58, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

If you're looking for a photo, the Australian War Memorial's online database has several good-quality photoes of this battery in WW1. --Nick Dowling 11:57, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pacific Patrol Boat Program

I think that the Pacific Patrol Boat Program is being covered in too much detail. The RAN didn't crew or operate any of these ships, and this was a defence co-operation and diplomatic program rather than something which forms part of the RAN's history. I think that the RAN's role in the program should be the subject of a single paragraph, at most. --Nick Dowling 07:01, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Your probably right Nick, but into what section to stick it, a single para is usually too short for a separate heading. Hossen27 10:42, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

I'd suggest that it go in the Two Ocean Navy Policy section. The current material on the Pacific Patrol boat program would, of course, be a great addition to that article. --Nick Dowling 10:56, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
