Australian Navy in Vietnam:
Between 1965 and 1972, elements of the Royal Australian Navy saw continuous service in Vietnam…at sea, ashore, and in the air. This unique new volume offers a fresh and detailed perspective on the largely forgotten naval aspects of Australia's involvement in the Vietnam War, sure to intrigue and captivate military enthusiasts and historians alike.

This unique volume sets out the RAN's operational service in Vietnam between 1965 and 1972, covering the activities of:
• Destroyers on the gunline
• Fleet Air Arm contributions to a US Army helicopter assault company and RAAF No. 9 Squadron
• Clearance Diving Teams
• Logistic support, with transport and escort ships
• Plus HQ and Embassy support and Fleet Band tours

While the Vietnam War was not primarily a naval conflict, it was a demanding environment for the 13,500 RAN members who served. This book underscores that the RAN's contribution, though smaller in scale compared to the USN, was diverse and played a significant role in the overall commitment of the Australian Forces, thereby emphasizing the impact of their actions.
