| Summary: | Female officer in training for steering the ship HMAS Adelaide. Several merchant vessels surround the ship. 'I spent one day on the Adelaide. In the morning I painted the small panel of the operations room and after lunch I went up to the bridge where a young female officer was at the helm. She was in training for steering the vessel. Outside all around us were the merchant vessel ships moored in the Komisky area.' Peter Churcher, interview with Betty Snowden, April 2002. | ||
