A leader who I never got to meet. We have a lot of things in common, The ocean and a healthy respect, he was also tall and very good looking.

#HMASPerth I was lost in the Battle of the Sunda Strait #OTD in 1942 with the loss of 353 crew. Many of her survivors endured years of captivity as Prisoners of War. An example of courage, determination and self-sacrifice for #AusNavy generations that follow. #LestWeForget

Allies - we remember together.
Royal Navy Cdr James Morley commemorates #WW2 losses of #USSHouston & #HMASPerth , while remembering the British sailors lost in the same campaign.
Those sacrifices of brave sailors on USS Houston & HMAS Perth laid foundations for NATO's alliances.
#OTD USS HOUSTON (CA-30) and HMAS PERTH are sunk • 1 MARCH 1942 “she went down fighting” - the horror of the #deathrailway lay ahead for survivors.
