This book examines Anglo-Australian naval relations between
1945-75, a period of great change for both Australia and Great
Britain and their respective navies. It explores the cultural and
historical ties between the Royal Navy and the Royal Australian
Navy (RAN), the efficacy of communications between the services,
and the importance of personal relations to the overall
inter-service relationship. The author assesses the dilemmas faced
by Great Britain associated with that nation's declining power, and
the impact of the retreat from 'East of Suez' on the strategic
relationship between the United Kingdom and Australia. The book
also considers operational co-operation between the Royal Navy and
the RAN including conflicts such as the Korean War, the Malayan
Emergency, and confrontation with Indonesia, as well as peacetime
pursuits such as port visits and the testing of atomic weapons in
the 1950s. Co-operation in matters of personnel and training are
also dealt with in great detail, along with the co-operation
between the Royal Navy and the RAN in equipment procurement and
design and the increased ability of the RAN to look to non-British
sources for equipment procurement. The book considers the impact of
stronger Australian-American ties on the RAN and appraises the role
it played in the conflict in Vietnam.
